>Somehow these got written down real well.
Thousands of years before writing existed?
It even goes to issues other than writing. Early man understood quantities as 1, 2 and many.

But early Biblical stories refer to the ages people in the high hundreds, many centuries before either writing or numerical understanding existed.
