go to http://bible.ort.org/books/pentd2.asp?ACTION=displaypage&BOOK=5&CHAPTER=34 it explains everything, i'll say what it says. '34:1 Moses climbed up from the western plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of the cliff facing Jericho. God showed him all the land of the Gilead as far as Dan, 34:2 all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea, 34:3 the Negev, the flat plain, and the valley of Jericho, city of dates, as far as Tzoar. 34:4 God said to him, 'This is the land regarding which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross [the river] to enter it.' 34:5 It was there in the land of Moab that God's servant Moses died at God's word. 34:6 [God] buried him in the depression in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor. No man knows the place that he was buried, even to this day. 34:7 Moses was 120 years old when he died, but his eyes had not dimmed, and his natural powers had not left him. 34:8 The Israelites mourned Moses in the west plains of Moab for thirty days. The wailing period of Moses' mourning came to an end. 34:9 Joshua son of Nun was filled with a spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him. The Israelites therefore listened to him, doing as God had commanded Moses. 34:10 No other prophet like Moses has arisen in Israel, who knew God face to face. 34:11 [No one else could reproduce] the signs and miracles that God let him display in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and all his land, 34:12 or any of the mighty acts or great sights that Moses displayed before the eyes of all Israel.

Deuteronamy 34:5-7 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD, and He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-pe'or but no man knows the place of his burial to this day. Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died;... I think you should read you bible and see what is says!

As far as I understand, when moses found the ten comandments he was roughly 900 years old. He was alive for another few aeonns before he past away soundly in his sleep. During the biblical era, most of the people ended up being way to old for science to justify. But the lord works different than any scientist. As the old testament says. The father who art in heaven, please give me some bread. So I conclude that such a simple era must have lived off of an everlasting bread source that made them much longer than any normal man would.
