Life-Span of Mankind

Psalm 90:10 uses the term threescore and ten but like everything else in Scripture it needs to be read in context.
Humans in modern times have been known to live to ages of just over 100 years, although much greater ages have been recorded in the distant past.
According to the Bible, pre-flood people sometimes lived for over 900 years. According to certain Creationist and Jewish views,
G-d subsequently limited the lifespan of man to 120 years.
Genesis 6:3 and the lifespan of Moses in Deuteronomy 34:7.
The oldest human ever authenticated in modern times was
Jeanne Calment of France who lived 122 years and 164 days
