The oldest person whose age is indicated in the Bible, one of the forefathers of mankind - Methuselah (Hebrew מתושלח, Methuselah) (Gen. 5:21-27) was born about 5300 years ago and lived nine hundred and sixty nine years.
Methuselah, according to the book of Genesis, was the son of Enoch and the father of Lamech, whom he conceived at the age of 187. His name has become a household name for a centenarian ("Methuselah age").
Methuselah is said to have fought evil spirits (sheddim); Presumably, his name comes from the words "mavet" (death) and "shelah" (sword) or "shalah" (send away). According to legend, his prayer had the power to drive away, "send away" death, with which he fought like a spiritual sword, saving people. His prayer for perishing mankind, united with Noah's prayer, put off the Flood, which began only after the death of Methuselah.
Methuselah went to the "ends of the earth" to learn from his father Enoch about the upcoming Flood and the salvation of Noah, the grandson of Methuselah (Book of Enoch 111-112, Midrash Haggadah to Gen. 6, 25). Methuselah's death came just before the Flood (Gen. 6:27; 7:6), in the 600th year of Noah's life. According to the Haggadah, the Flood was delayed by seven days for the sake of a week of mourning for Methuselah. Subsequently, some Jewish theologians questioned the righteousness of Methuselah, also referring to his age.
Among the "seven great shepherds" (Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David), he must appear on earth before the coming of the Messiah.
Why did Methuselah live so long? There are various hypotheses about this. One of them - Methuselah ate an infusion of herbs (tea). God gave Adam and Eve the secret to making this tea after they were exiled from Eden, but the recipe was lost about four thousand years ago. The amazing drink became the reason for the longevity of Methuselah, who lived for almost a thousand years, he also kept Adam and his children in great shape.
This discovery was made by the German archaeologist Wolfgang Lempke, chairman of the Bible Study Society of the University of Stuttgart. Wolfgang Lempke and a number of scientists are trying to restore the recipe using computer technology. Such herbs exist even now, it is only necessary to find the necessary proportion. But the composition of tea includes such plants as the deadly poisonous belladonna, marijuana and opium poppy. Using this tea, Adam lived 930 years, Methuselah 969 years, Noah -950 years. The drink was famous among the Babylonians, "hai" - which means "life".
After Noah, life expectancy began to decline. Apparently the recipe for tea was lost during the Flood. And tea contains all the vitamins necessary for life, and slowing down the aging process of body cells. There can be many combinations for compiling a recipe, and it will not be possible to say with certainty that the recipe is fully consistent with the lost composition. But using parts of the recipes found in the Sumerian and ancient Babylonian texts, scientists will try to restore it.

Iogel had the funniest balls in Moscow. This was said by mothers, looking at their adolescentes, [girls] doing their newly learned steps; this was said by the adolescentes and adolescents themselves, [girls and boys] dancing until they dropped; these grown girls and young people who came to these balls with the idea of descending to them and finding the best fun in them. In the same year, two marriages took place at these balls. Two pretty princesses Gorchakovs found suitors and got married, and all the more they let these balls into glory. What was special at these balls was that there was no host and hostess: there was, like fluff flying, bowing according to the rules of art, good-natured Yogel, who accepted tickets for lessons from all his guests; was that these balls were still attended only by those who wanted to dance and have fun, as 13 and 14 year old girls want this, putting on long dresses for the first time. All, with rare exceptions, were or seemed pretty: they all smiled so enthusiastically and their eyes lit up so much. Sometimes the best students even danced pas de chale, of which the best was Natasha, distinguished by her grace; but at this, the last ball, only ecossaises, anglaises and the mazurka, which was just coming into fashion, danced. The hall was taken by Yogel to Bezukhov's house, and the ball was a great success, as everyone said. There were many pretty girls, and the Rostov young ladies were among the best. Both of them were especially happy and cheerful. That evening, Sonya, proud of Dolokhov's proposal, her refusal and explanation with Nikolai, was still circling at home, not allowing the girl to comb her braids, and now shone through with impetuous joy.
Natasha, no less proud that she was in a long dress for the first time, at a real ball, was even happier. Both were in white, muslin dresses with pink ribbons.
Natasha became in love from the very moment she entered the ball. She was not in love with anyone in particular, but she was in love with everyone. In the one she looked at at the moment she looked, she was in love with him.
- Oh, how good! she kept saying, running up to Sonya.
Nikolai and Denisov walked through the halls, looking affectionately and patronizingly at the dancers.
- How sweet she is, she will be, - said Denisov.
- Who?
“Mr. Athena Natasha,” answered Denisov.
- And how she dances, what a g "ation!" After a pause, he said again.
- Who are you talking about?
“About your sister,” Denisov shouted angrily.
Rostov chuckled.
– Mon cher comte; vous etes l "un de mes meilleurs ecoliers, il faut que vous dansiez," said little Yogel, approaching Nikolai. "Voyez combien de jolies demoiselles. [Dear count, you are one of my best students. You need to dance. Look how much pretty girls!] - He turned with the same request to Denisov, also his former student.
- Non, mon cher, je fe "ai tapisse" ie, [No, my dear, I'll sit by the wall,] said Denisov. "Don't you remember how badly I used your lessons?"
- Oh no! – hastily comforting him, said Yogel. - You were only inattentive, but you had the ability, yes, you had the ability.
The newly introduced mazurka began to play; Nikolai could not refuse Yogel and invited Sonya. Denisov sat down next to the old women and leaned on his saber, stomping to the beat, telling something merrily and making the old ladies laugh, looking at the dancing youth. Yogel in the first pair danced with Natasha, his pride and best student. Softly, gently moving his feet in his shoes, Yogel was the first to fly across the hall with Natasha, who was timid, but diligently doing her steps. Denisov did not take his eyes off her and tapped time with his saber, with an air that clearly said that he himself did not dance only because he did not want to, and not because he could not. In the middle of the figure, he called to him Rostov, who was passing by.
“That's not it at all,” he said. - Is this a Polish mazu "ka? And she dances well." Knowing that Denisov was even famous in Poland for his skill in dancing the Polish mazurka, Nikolai ran up to Natasha:
- Go ahead, choose Denisov. Here she is dancing! Miracle! - he said.
When it was Natasha's turn again, she stood up and quickly fingering her shoes with bows, timidly, ran alone through the hall to the corner where Denisov was sitting. She saw that everyone was looking at her and waiting. Nikolai saw that Denisov and Natasha were arguing with a smile, and that Denisov refused, but smiled happily. He ran.
centenarians
The average age of human life is 75 years. However, there are people who seem to defy nature and live a very long time - 100 years or more. When does old age come? Ancient people lived no more than 20-30 years; in ancient Greece, a 40-year-old man was considered an old man. In the 18th-19th centuries, 50 years became the period of sunset and summing up. In the 20th century, when infant mortality was reduced, living conditions improved significantly, diseases - plague, smallpox, cholera - were defeated, life expectancy increased dramatically. Medicine has invented drugs that can resist cardiovascular and colds. Operations on the heart, lungs and other internal organs have become effective. Nowadays, the age of 70-75 years is considered the beginning of old age. People who have reached the age of 90 are called centenarians. The world's population is aging. Now the proportion of people over 60 in developed countries is much larger than it was at the beginning of the 20th century.
Who is the oldest in the world?
Like Just as the Greek cities argue which of them is the birthplace of Homer, representatives of many countries of the world claim that it was their compatriot who lived longer than others. The difficulty in determining the oldest inhabitant of the planet lies in the lack of accurate data on the time and place of birth of one or another candidate for centenarians. Sometimes the person himself does not remember how old he is, and throws himself a dozen or two. Shirali Mislimov died in 1973 in the Azerbaijani village of Barzavu. He was 168 years old, the Azerbaijani Mahmud Eyvazov - 152, Majid Agayev from the mountainous village of Tikeband - 143. However, people lived to such an advanced age not only in the USSR. Syrian Mahmoud Varan died at the age of 163. Pakistanis claim that their oldest citizen lived to be 200 years old. The British are proud of their centenarians Henry Jennix (169 years old) and Thomas Parr (152 years old). The oldest resident of Hungary Zoltan Petrazh lived 186 years. On August 4, 1997, Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment died. At the time of her death, she was 122 years 164 days old - this is the oldest person whose age is documented. The Japanese Siteate Itzumi, who was born in 1865, lived 120 years 237 days.
Biblical centenarians
None of the centenarians of our time can compare in length of life with the patriarchs described in the Bible. Methuselah, according to the holy book, lived 969 years. In general, all the relatives of this patriarch were remarkable for their amazing longevity. The ancestor of Methuselah, Adam (the progenitor of mankind), lived 930 years, his son Seth - 912. The rest of the ancestors of Methuselah also lived much longer than the time due to man: Enos - 905, Cainan - 910, Maleleel - 895, Jared - 962. Bible scholars believe that that the compilers of ancient texts, speaking of the duration of life, indicated not the number of years lived, but the number of months. If this hypothesis is correct, it will turn out that Adam lived 77 years, and Methuselah - 81 years. Quite acceptable numbers. According to another version, the creators of the Bible wanted to glorify great people and at the same time fill in the gaps in a very long human history. The Babylonian priest Beros acted in a similar way, leaving to the descendants the history of the Babylonian kingdom. Only ten mythical rulers of Babylon ruled for a total of 432 thousand years. Of course, from a scientific point of view, these data cannot be taken for granted - so much a person cannot live for physiological reasons.

Where do centenarians live?
The Russian scientist I. Mechnikov was the first to draw attention to the fact that centenarians are found mainly among villagers. Azerbaijani centenarians also lived far from cities, in highlands. Academician Nikolai Amosov, who devoted his life to prolonging people's lives, wrote: “To be healthy, you need your own efforts, constant and significant. Nothing can replace them... Four conditions are equally necessary for health: physical activity, dietary restrictions, hardening, time and the ability to rest. And fifth, a happy life.” All centenarians led a harmonious lifestyle, were surrounded by the attention and care of their many descendants. Mahmud Eyvazov worked in the field until his last days, drank spring water, slept in the open air and considered himself a happy person.

Methuselah (disambiguation)
Methuselah (tree)
Methuselah- a specimen, one of the oldest trees on Earth. A rough estimate of the time of germination of the seed from which it grew is 2831 BC.
It grows in, in the east of California (USA). The area where the tree grows is located at an altitude of over three thousand meters above sea level, in the region of a mountain range. The exact location of the tree has not been released to prevent vandalism.
Among those present, I recognized the bloody robber Cain, the oldest fellows Methuselah and Lamech, the glorious ark-builders Shem, Ham, Japheth, led by the senior foreman Noah, and the sycophants Gog, Magog, Demagog, who were so unexpectedly orphaned.
There was also an old Methuselah, who married a young girl, and with him - the captain of the guard Papillon, who held her umbrella and guidebooks.
Let's remember Back to Methuselah, where the mind competes in fantasy with intuition, and, perhaps, surpasses it in ingenuity, but.
The image of Helen and the magnificent future broke into small pieces, reflections of the distant past mixed in with them, and the good old Methuselah- three stars, and the long dormant memories that Main Street had awakened in him with the play of late afternoon light.
Lines from a textbook on sexopathology written by his great-grandfather surfaced in his memory, Methuselah Gender, - there were truly formidable expressions: - Hands up, puking chicks!
