I talk about the actual pyramid in egypy
Yes, I know. The pyramids in Egypt have never been underwater.

I talk about the actual pyramid in egypy
Not a good assumption based on the paleontological and archaeological evidence. The evidence clearly demonstrates that humans had shorter lives than now throughout our past history.
Biologically it is nearly impossible that we could live that long unless we evolved through technology with largely synthetic and robotic components.
This is not about a debate if this really happened.
I would have been born in 1069 AD, before the Magna Carta, before Martin Luther King, while Muslims were still in southern spain, before steam trains. Pope Nicholas II was in charge of the Catholic Church. England was still consumed with internal warrings...
It would still have been the Middle Ages. The Crusades had yet to start. Admittedly the likelihood that I would survive all that time to today is nil.
In what I believe is a debatable translation, God eventually shortened the lives of all humans to <120 years, saying, "he would not continue to contend with man...". I think he actually meant he would shorten our lives as an act of mercy. I'm 72 and am close to having had way too much fun. It would be too tearing and heart breaking to live for almost 1000 years.
I'm assuming that all humans had long life spans, but perhaps there were only several men who lived that long, to what end, I wonder.
I think that the shorter life spans caused 'progress' to move faster.
Where is the actual evidence that humans had longer lifespans in the past?
This is not about a debate if this really happened.
There are people addressing what I did not want to. I should have worded this differently. I wanted to talk about what it would feel like to live that long?

Answering the question in part, I think it felt strange taking longer to build an ark than people would eventually live
I do believe in the lengths of lives claimed and one interesting reason is that
they drop of somewhat exponentially from the pre flood 900 years to the post flood life times. Seems unlikely to just make up

The question was not about whether Noah lived that long, but was about how it would feel to live that long? I worded the OP poorly.
Didn't MythBusters put that to rest?Yes they do buried them in vally of the kings, the strange thing is no burry sight or evidence of any burrial in side the pyramid. why? because it was never used for that purpose, it was a stellar obseravtory and an energy sourse
I'm kind of wondering about if that's even possible. Even if you were to live 600 900 years, you're still a lot of things that could have killed you like disease and War and things like that. When people talk about life experiences, I wonder hypothetically what the outlook for person who living to 900 years old could be. I could only think the person might be feeling they seen it and done it all over and over again.GOSH !!! I wanted to talk about how living that long would feel!!!
I do not intend to have a conversation about, "IF it really happened.
Didn't MythBusters put that to rest?
This is interesting.
So like I found an article that basically said humans might have lost lifespan through fallout.
The First Global Nuclear War and a Coverup of historical proportions...
Honestly, there are technologies that have gotten lost (cement, Greek fire, central heating) and only some of them got back. So while it doesn't seem plausible, it does account for how there are seven years of famine in Egypt. Or why people suddenly needed to build a ship to get away ("rain"). Or why lifespan suddenly and dramatically decreased from 900 years to 600 to 200 to about 100 tops. Radiation poisoning.
We're living longer lately (or at least aging slower), and inventing new tech in the last 100 years. We're finally recovering. And just stupid enough right now to bomb ourselves out of business again. Nuclear bombs, abortion, sex-changes (sterility), pollution (including chemical aerosols)... yeah if we don't watch ourselves, far from being overpopulated, humans are about to become scarce, all because of suicidal maniacs.
But here's the interesting part. Some timelines place Joseph and his 7-year famine around 2000 BC, and they talk about a worldwide 7-year famine (definitely nuclear winter) due to an "east wind". So, what exactly was going on in around 2000 BC? Well, if you've read Indian literature, you find out about a book of myths called the Mahabharata. You see, Hindu myth is cyclical, and basically describe (in detail, including something as white hot and brilliant as the sun, which kills animals instantly, poisons water and foodstuffs, and hair and nails falling out) the aftereffects of nuclear explosion.
Here's another one. Remember Noah's Ark. Well, there's also a Yamato's Ark. And others. Some event is big enough that it becomes part of the world's myths from Middle East to Polynesia.
Most historical records are destroyed. Coincidence? Or attempt to do away with a tech that hit humans shouldn't be involved in, something that they need to work through?
The Pyramids are only about 5,000 years old. They have never been underwater.
Have you studied anything about tectonic plates?
Are you talking about energy pyramids like this: (I don't think this is about energy pyramids)
WHEN WERE THE PYRAMIDS REALLY BUILT?
The official Egyptian stance on the subject of when the Pyramids were actually constructed has come under some serious criticism in the last century as evidence builds that the Pyramids are far older than previously thought. Obviously, the Egyptians have many reasons to "keep it in the family" by perpetuating the classic theory of the pyramids being constructed in about 4,300 B.C. by ancient Egyptian kings, and they do have some evidence for this theory, though at this point it seems highly questionable.
Many legends passed down from ancient civilizations mention the Pyramid as a repository of sorts to protect the knowledge of a highly advanced civilization from "a flood." This is significant, and there are records that indicate that before the limestone surface of the Pyramids was stripped away, there was a water line that reached to about halfway up the Great Pyramid - about 240 feet - strongly suggesting that the Pyramids were built before the great flood - which occurred around 10,000 B.C. Inside, when the Great Pyramid was first opened, there were thick salt deposits along the walls to about halfway up. Though some of this salt is attributable to natural weeping by the rocks, some is also consistent chemically with sea salt - another strong piece of evidence for the Pyramids being in existence before the Great Flood. Indeed, modern studies indicate that 10,000 B.C. was a time of massive geomagnetic, climactic and geologic changes, and it is also the time frame that Plato uses to describe the destruction of the great civilization of Atlantis - assumedly from the same catastrophic events. There is some evidence astronomically that coincides with the 10,000 - 12,000 B.C. timeline for the construction of the Pyramids. It has long been strongly suspected that the Pyramids have an integral connection to the night sky, and to the constellation Orion in particular.
There is no evidence for a nuclear winter in that time frame. A nuclear winter is an mass extinction level event. The famine idea is linked to the Thera eruption.
Although there are no clear ancient records of the eruption, it may have inspired certain Greek myths.
The best researchers will all tell you that the radio-carbon-14 dating method isn't truly accurate much past about 4,000 years ago. But they all differ as to why. Even regular Beryllium-10 radiological dating methods often produce wildly fantastic ages that often do not agree with other known dating factors. What is the problem?
The answer is simple.
If the world experienced a global nuclear war, one that produced enough radioactivity to halve the lifespan of man, it also produced enough carbon-14 and Beryllium-10 to completely skew any evolutionary or archaeological time-line that doesn't take this massive influx of carbon-14, Beryllium-10, and other radioactivity into the system into account. The war and its radioactivity introduced so much Carbon-14, Beryllium-10 (and other radiations) into the system that it both poisoned life, and completely changed the natural balance of production and decay of Carbon-14 and Beryllium-10 on Earth. Anything living before this war would appear to be much older than it actually is, because its Carbon-14 levels were much lower than the levels found in organic/living things immediately after the war. Likewise with Beryllium-10 levels in rocks and other inorganic materials. So the whole method is skewed prior to 2000BC...
If you read that in context; it becomes clear that God was saying that man(collectively) had 120 years to repent before the flood came. It's not limiting people's life span.In what I believe is a debatable translation, God eventually shortened the lives of all humans to <120 years, saying, "he would not continue to contend with man...". I think he actually meant he would shorten our lives as an act of mercy. I'm 72 and am close to having had way too much fun. It would be too tearing and heart breaking to live for almost 1000 years.
Is the question within context of Noah's life thus other humans have a longer life span as well?
I couldn't help but think it might be something like Bill Murray's Groundhog Day. Once you know everything there is to know in life, it'll just be repeat repeat repeat.It's not about that. The question was: how would you feel if you lived that long?
You might want to rethink this statement. The pyramids are older than you think. And they have been underwater.
The Great Pyramids at Giza - When were they Built?
Look 2/3 up and there is a line and a color change from dark brown to faded. Water line.
