Patriachal longevity presents itself as one of the most striking of the facts concerning mankind which the early history of the Book of Genesis places before us ...
There is a large amount of consentient tradition to the effect that the life of man was originally far more prolonged than it is at present ,
extending to at least several hundred years .
The Babylonians ,
Egyptians ,
and Chinese exaggerated these hundreds into thousands .
The Greeks and Romans ,
with more moderation ,
limited human life within a thousand or eight hundred years .
The Hindus still farther shortened the term .
Their books taught that in the first age of the world man was free from diseases ,
and lived ordinarily four hundred years ;
in the second age the term of life was reduced from four hundred to three hundred ;
in the third it became two hundred ;
in the fourth and last it was brought down to one hundred " (

s Historical Illustrations ).
