I believe they were from around Armenia, and might have been unusually tall. Lived on average to 100+ I thought I saw a picture of them in National Geo.

I think you mean the Abkhaz. Abkhazia is relatively close to Armenia but not part of it.
"In January 1973, National Geographic had a story by a scientist named Alexander leaf. Dr Leaf went in search of the oldest people in the world. He found the three most consistently long-lived people to be the Abkhazians of Russia, the Vilabambans of Ecuador, and the Hunzukuts of Pakistan...... he discovered that these people were amazingly disease-free. No cancer, no heart disease! ....Abkhazians eat approximatley 70% high-water-content food....(fresh fruits and vegetables and their juices)."
