Yes, according to tradition. This may have secular support from the ancient king-lists of India, Sumeria, and Ashurbanipal, which give very high lifespans for the earliest kings. Similarly, Josephus wrote 2000 years ago: "all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians relate that the ancients lived a thousand years: Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History; and Berosus, who collected the Chaldean inscriptions; and Mochus, and Hestieus; and, besides these, Hieronymus the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I have said; Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these, Ephorus and Nicolaus."

Why do states have dumb laws?

It's not that states have dumb laws - it is that the law was probably intended to address a reason that was valid at the time it was passed. Some laws seem really dumb - something that at the time it was passed was needed, and that you are no longer aware of. People eventually forget about these laws and they seldom get changed or removed from the statute books.
