You have totally failed actually to reach the real reason. They did not live for years, they lived for turns of the sun. A turn of the sun at this time is when the sun went around the earth. It was originally days. Then it became months. The practice is measuring in years is ROMAN. And guess what, all lived to around 70-100 solar years when converted. There is nothing mystical just people being an expert in one area and not realising there are others.
Now it all make sense for the first time.
It’s a story. A Jewish origin myth. Mythological people have mythological lifespans.
Thank you for this content. It’s interesting; and I appreciate citing sources. I will circle back to review those.

Thank you, again
Interesting read.
Thank you!
This was a really great piece!
Thank you. I was actually curious to hear your thoughts on it, given the piece’s connections to the ancient Near East. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for adding this to the conversation.
This is just the right amount of technical detail (for a dilettante like me) supported by well-reasoned logic. Thank you.
