Yes, But at somepoint God Grew Weary Of Man Living So Long For This Is What He Said:
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Genesis 6:3
He decided that man would not live longer than 120 year.

A. Many early cultures measured time by moon years. In warmer climates, an unusually warm Winter, or an unusual cool Summer made sun years confusing. The moon never varied, it was dependable, so they used moon years.
999 moon years are seventy-seven sun years. Still quite old for those days.

All rational people: No
"True" believers of the Old Testament: Yes
I await the answers claiming the bible was misinterpreted or that for some reason in the bible can be as short as second or as long as a million years.

Biblical people couldn't count past 10, so they just made up very large numbers. :)
