28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died (Genesis 9:28-29).
Noah lived a very long time. Almost a third of his life was after the flood. The age that people lived would dramatically drop after the flood. So Noah would be the last of those that would live for such a long time. The post-flood world was greatly different than the pre-flood world. At the time of Noah’s death, the ice age would have been receding; the ice age being caused by the tremendous amount of moisture in the atmosphere in the immediate post-flood age. The topography, atmosphere, weather and diet had greatly changed. Truly it was a new world.
