Craig, I think that is an excellent question.
A while back Mike Satterlee suggested that the lives were
supernaturally extended. Kind of like Christians have
supernatural powers through the Holy Spirit.
I don't remember in-depth discussion in the four months
that I have been on the list.
The Sumerian king lists could be used to support the
historicity of long ages. So could the writings of
Josephus.
Good luck with your studies :-)
Jim
