What did YHWH mean by this?

Just because you got disease and malnutrition and war doesn't mean you can't have a few people living past 100.
If you mean in Patriarchal times, who the fuck knows?
Brayden Sanders
If a year then is a month now, then yes.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that at least one of the hundred billion or so humans that have ever lived had some kind of extreme mutation that allowed them to live 200 years or more.

I was once told that the ancient Hebrews equated length of life with virtue and the earliest people were the most virtuous.

Neural degeneration sets in when someone reaches 150 years old so it's pretty much impossible for someone to live for centuries, also for most of history the average lifespan was slightly shorter then it is now.
There are some interesting anecdotes however, Li Ching-Yeun for example was a chinaman who claimed to have been born in the late 17th century. Through carefully cultivating his mind and body he allegedly lived well over 200 years. He disappeared in the early 1930s.

This is a lie to cast doubt on the historicity of the bible.

Aging is just a side effect of using oxygen.
