They say the air was different long ago and I know they had teams out trying to sample the air in sealed tombs. Don't know hoe successful they've been.

Did they manage to get any good data out of it? I don't know how they could guarantee the air is the same after they put the items inside either. Once they poke a hole, it starts mixing.

That's what I thought too, but I've been running into these articles over the years after reading about how long the ancient peole of the Bible lived.
SEARCHING FOR ANCIENT AIR ON THE TAYLOR GLACIER

The claim is that the good book describes a canopy being over the earth in the days before the flood. Apparantly, it was a thick layer of ice which helped protect Noah and those before him, resulting in a slightly different mixture in the air. This protective covering around the Earth was reportedly destroyed, around the time of the flood. They say, this is why people lived so long back then and even African tribes hand down stories from long ago of their being two "Suns" in the sky for awhile.
After the flood, the biblical lifespans started dropping, assuming that canopy was gone?
It seems that water can be used as a shield against radiation, from NASA:
The above is from page 9 of the PDF:

However, this study shoots all of the talk of a canopy down and makes some really good points:

If you keep your eyes peeled, you'll run into these articles once in a while. Seems life-extenstion types want to discover (and replicate) the conditions that allowed these guys to live to between 600 and 900+ years of age. Somebody wants to know the answer.

Very interesting stuff.
I don't believe anyone ever lived up to 600 but it could provide good results anyway.
And anything that can help with space exploration is golden in my book

It is some interesting stuff but I don't know if I want Bill Gates to be alive for 600-900 years. wrecking havoc.

He might just be a head in a jar at that point. :)

Lots of theories about everything out there. Sure is interesting what people come up with. Even a lot of the outlandish stuff is pretty cool these days.

That's interesting. Didn't hear about that before.
I wonder what line of research they were pursuing there. Must be interesting

The aging research. de Grey is one of the central players in it, has been for decades. He works on the real fundamental stuff since he is private financed and donations so no need for a commercial product.
Like many in the field that is how they frame it. Thus they are not looking to cure specific diseased but rather what makes them susceptible to that.
