They didn't. There may be controversy over this question, but there are only accounts in religious texts indicating this kind of lifespan, and no other kinds of independent evidence in support. Actually, in the Hebrew Scriptures the oldest living person, Methuselah, did not quite reach 1000 years. He is reported to have lived 969 years.
