Summary
Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, and Mary, his mother, are surrounded by traditions rather than precise historical data. Genealogies name Mary’s parents as Joaquín and Ana, while Joseph’s father is given as Jacob in Matthew and Elí in Luke. European monarchs such as Isabel II and Carlos III have documented ancestry stretching back to Carlomagno, with Chinese lineages claiming even deeper histories, though partly legendary. Albert Einstein’s three children lived very different lives, and Masanobu Sato became famous for setting a unique endurance record in San Francisco.
Context and Scope
The account covers biblical traditions about Joseph, Mary, and their families, monarch genealogies, Albert Einstein’s children, and the activities of Masanobu Sato linked to the Masturbate-a-thon. It includes what is recorded and emphasizes where no exact information exists. It also clarifies the meaning of the abbreviation “CE” and its relationship with “d.C.” in Spanish usage.
Exhaustive Narrative of Facts
1. Death of Joseph
The Bible does not record Joseph’s age at death. He is described as alive when Jesus is twelve years old, but absent from accounts of Jesus’s public ministry at about thirty years of age. No exact number of years or specific date is documented.
2. Death of Mary
The Bible does not provide Mary’s age at death. Christian traditions describe her Dormition in Éfeso or Jerusalem. Some traditions place the year around 48 to 50 CE (equivalent to 48–50 d.C.). Estimates of her age range between sixty and seventy-two years. No precise figure exists.
3. Parents of Mary
Tradition names Mary’s parents as Joaquín and Ana. Beyond these names, no further evidence is given in the documented record.
4. Parents of Joseph
In the Gospel of Matthew, Joseph’s father is Jacob. In the Gospel of Luke, Joseph’s father is Elí. Interpretations sometimes describe one as a biological father and the other as a legal or adoptive father. No further clarification is recorded.
5. Jesus’s Genealogical Traditions
The genealogies of Jesus differ between Matthew and Luke. The difference appears most clearly in the naming of Joseph’s father, showing two parallel traditions. No additional genealogical details are documented here.
6. Monarch Genealogies
European monarchs such as Isabel II of the United Kingdom and Carlos III have documented ancestry that reaches back to Carlomagno in the eighth century. Some genealogical claims connect royal lines as far as the first and second centuries CE (equivalent to the first and second centuries d.C.). In China, genealogical records claim more than four thousand years of continuity, though many of those records combine history and legend.
7. Einstein’s Children
Albert Einstein and Mileva Marić had three children. Lieserl Einstein was born in 1902; her fate remains uncertain and may have involved early death or adoption. Hans Albert Einstein, born in 1904, became an engineer in the United States and died in 1973. Eduard Einstein, born in 1910, studied medicine, developed schizophrenia, and died in 1965 in Zürich.
8. Masturbate-a-thon Record
Masanobu Sato of Japan gained attention at the Masturbate-a-thon in San Francisco, an event organized by the Center for Sex & Culture. In 2008 he set a record of nine hours and fifty-eight minutes of continuous masturbation. In 2009 he achieved more than nine hours again. Guinness World Records does not recognize sexual categories, so this record remains outside its listings. Sato worked with the Japanese company TENGA. He credited breathing techniques, relaxation, hydration, and imagination for his endurance.
9. Masanobu Sato After 2009
Reports up to 2025 continue to mention Masanobu Sato in relation to his earlier record. Articles describe his reliance on imagination and discipline. An Instagram account under the name “masaturbation / Masanobu Sato 龍雲” shows ongoing activity. Posts reference his past title as champion. There is no documented evidence of attempts to break his own record after 2009, nor of any verified new records by him.
10. Meaning of CE
The abbreviation “CE” stands for Common Era. It corresponds directly to “d.C.” in Spanish and “AD” in Latin. The term “BCE” means Before Common Era and corresponds to “a.C.” in Spanish. These forms use the same dates but are linguistically neutral.
Practical Takeaways
- Joseph’s age and year of death remain undocumented, while Mary’s death is described in traditions with only approximate years and ages.
- Mary’s parents are recorded as Joaquín and Ana, while Joseph’s father is named differently in two gospel accounts.
- Royal genealogies of Isabel II and Carlos III trace their ancestry to Carlomagno, and Chinese genealogies claim even greater antiquity though often legendary.
- Einstein’s three children illustrate varied fates: an uncertain life, a career in engineering, and a struggle with mental illness.
- Masanobu Sato’s record set in San Francisco remains notable, and no further records have been documented after 2009.
- CE and BCE are neutral equivalents of d.C. and a.C., using the same chronological reference points.
