Solved!
Clearly 802 years means Lunar-years, where 12 lunar cycles is the Lunar-year, while 777 is number of Solar-years. (777 * 365.24 / (29.5 * 12) ~ 802)
The writers were clearly astronomers, and put apparent contradictions like this in the text just to trip up the unfaithful
Checkmate, atheists!
