Interestingly, Methuselah died the same year that the Flood happened, so you might assume he would have lived longer had his grandson not been instructed to build a party boat that he wasn't invited to...

I believe in Islam Noah is believed to have lived 950 years. It took him a long time to build the arch.
The other story mentioned in the Quran is about a group of people and their dog who slept in a cave for 309 years and woke up afterwards. I believe they died shortly after. There is an actual chapter in the quran about this called the cave[1].

Nota bene, lunar year vs solar year
that name rings a bell now that I see it. thanks!
edit: Found it on the wikipedia page you linked. I was thinking about Enoch, Methuselah's father, who lived to be 365 years old according to the bible.
> Said to have died at the age of 969, he lived the longest of all figures mentioned in the Bible.
