Bah...i see no reason to even TRY to validate the age of the patriarch in months...its unlikely those people ever existed save perhaps as figments of the Biblical author's imagination. Giving the patriarch great age was symbolic in the story,a sign of great wisdom. Thats just an old babylonian tradition that the hebrew recycled....the babylonians have kings in their stories who supposadly lived to be up to 35000 years old...are we gonna try to validate this in minutes? No because like the biblical patriarch,they mythological characters,conjured up to make a point in those legends
