Is there proof like bones showing a person living plus 125 years of age? Assuming the testing is possible and done correct.
Adam and Eve lived 900ish years
Seth 800ish
and each generation there after droping a bit.
Jump forward to Moses which lived to 125 years of age.
I am very curious if we have the capability of testing and the remains of proving that people lived to these ages that seem impossible today, yet we have be on an incline since say 600A.D.

Actually, if you notice the decline started from Adam to Noah, and then from Noah to Abraham.
On a Biological Scale it takes 10 generations for a genetic trait to set in, there were 10 generations from Adam to Noah. The average life span before the flood was 912 years. So it dropped from the 10 generations between Noah to Abraham, again. After the flood, however, the average life span was only 222 years.
Also, you must realize, that at the age of 100 Noah's sons were still considered "in his care" and this is why they were saved by God. Because of their youth (lol). Even in Christs day you were not considered a MAN until around the age of 30 in his homeland. So, even if we found the skeletons, we probably would find what would appear to be skeletons of "average age" people, with no more wear or tear than anyone else. After all, they age differently. So their immune, auto-response must have been off the charts, then again they were much closer to their perfect forbears than we are now. Over the generations, more and more imperfections and genetic disease have been added to the mix.
In PLANTS HOWEVER, the setting in of new genetic traits is only 5 generations, so I'm glad that we don't have to worry about that.

Those guys in the Bible like Methuselah didn't really live that long you dolts... It makes sense that at the time in the Bible that we're talking about the Israelites still used the Egyptian calendar which was based on LUNAR cycles. Thirteen lunar years per solar year makes Methuselah about 74 years old... an amazingly old age for a human back in the days before medicine and hygiene. He must have had REALLY good genes to live that long five thousand years ago, and been darned lucky as well, life was brutal back then. There probably has been some case somewhere at some time in human history where a person has lived beyond 120, it probably isn't documented anywhere though. Soon I think it will be more common place to see people living that long due to advances in genetic science.

Science does believe the Oxygen content of the Earth was closer to 35% long ago, today it's 21% and polluted with hydrocarbons.
Why does prescription O2 make emphysema patients live longer.

The proof is in the pudding. GOD said and it was so. I need no other proof, if you do then begin looking but you will be hard pressed to find those of 5000 years ago. Have a great evening.

Proof is the body parts that dont work anymore
One or some of those non functioning body parts is probably what allowed them to live so long.

Some say the Neanderthals looked the way they did because of the extreme old age of the pre-flood world humans.

The time was counted different at that time. no human had the age as the Bible says. it was a different conception of time.
I don't think there exist any proof of findings of people of that Era.
And yes, we are capable of dating age if we founded any rest. We date the era of dinosaurs, and they existed before human beings
