Interesting question, but I'm still inclined to believe he grew as we do, became a man/adult about 18, then lived a reeeeeeally long time after that lol.
But I suppose you do have a point, he could've not grown up until he was 30 or so lol

I think he would still have been fully grown at the age of 18. Up until that time, it is not a matter of "aging" but maturing. The body matures, finishes growing. That takes about 18 years or so. He would still have aged slowly.

This is a great question! I can't answer that for you with any sort of assurance, but if one's body aged very slowly in those ancient days, then babyhood would take a long time to grow out of. I think infancy and childhood progressed as it does now, at the pace we are accustomed to. I suppose that once one reached adulthood and the growing was completed, age slowed to a crawl. The reason I think infancy took a year to complete, like it does now, is because not many parents would be able to handle the challenges of caring for a ten year old infant!!

The same rules about adulthood were also applied at those time(18 years old). The fact that he lived 900 years is probably symbolic or exagerated.

you already know, i've got puzzled approximately how briskly or slow human beings elderly back interior the Bible days, additionally. i could surely anticipate so. yet i could think of like a 20 12 months old could be 2 hundred, 30 12 months old could be 3 hundred, etc. and then possibly they could die at around 900 years old (which could be equivalent to ninety years old approx.) Very exciting! anyhow, it fairly is all in easy terms hypothesis.

Check out the original myth where Noah was known as Utnapishtim in the Sumerian original version of the flood. Genesis is a rip-off.

I believe he started having children around 300 as well (which apparently isn't uncommon), so it kind of reminds me of the elves in Dungeons and Dragons - lol
You know, they don't technically reach adulthood until the reach like 120 years or something. It's kind of like Noah is an elf.

He matured at the same age we all do, and thousands of years later, some storytellers made him stay alive for More than 800 years after he died, isn't that a miracle?

Oh get real. No one lives to be 900 yrs old. I suppose you don't believe in dinosaurs too. Is this still the 14th century???

At 18 as anybody else I guess.
Seems he kept in shape and had a long fruitful life.
