the first 150-year-old is quite likely also to be the first 1,000-year-old. People in ancient times lived to be near 1000 years old.

remember they didnt have the same time keeping as we do now. not to mention alot of the stories are embellished a little.
how many times as a kid have you looked at an old man and thought to yourself man he must be a thousand years old.

People in ancient times lived to be near 1000 years old. It is believed that the references in the Bible to ages in the many hundreds are actually references to months, not years.
