★Stevo Some believe that Methuselah's extreme age is the result of an ancient mistranslation that converted "months" to "years. I think Methuselah lived 80 years and 9 months .

10/26/2024, in the late 1990's, Jeanne Calment lived 122 years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment The difference now compared to ancient times in the Genesis account, those long years were attributed to the pre-flood environment in which they lived when there was a firmament in the sky and the Earth was untainted by pollution and disease. This means EVERYTHING was pure, including the water they drank and the food they ate. The answer has to do with "genetic deterioration." Before the flood, lifespans averaged more than 900 years. Immediately after the flood, lifespans averaged over 400 years, roughly cut in half. It was roughly cut in half again by the time of Abraham, just under 200 years. Finally by the time of David, lifetimes fell to what we know today. The long lives of Adam and his descendants illustrate the initial state of human perfection.

The further away from the first humans, the more diseased and fallen the world became.
