Proof of Long Life

I was wondering if there is any scientific proof for humans living longer in the past. I know early bible characters are reputed to have lived up to 800 or 900 hundred years. But what I don't know is if there is any factual info regarding this story.

To the best of my knowledge, people live longer now than in any other time in history. The bible does tell of longer life, but I'm looking for something more concrete on the issue. Any applicable info would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Dean,

I am no expert, but there is the Sumerian King List A list of kings before the flood. Some are listed as ruling as long as 43,000 years. I don't know if it falls under scientific, but at least under archeology.

How this applies to anything.
