A. Noah. He was floating his stock, while everyone else was in liquidation.

Wow, that's a tough one! By process of elimination, it would have to be in O.T. times. I would have to say "King David", as he stored up all the gold, money and materials for Solomon's Temple and palace. That took a bit of coin I would say.

However, Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon had to be the richest empire and building empire that was financed along with one of the seven wonders of the world (hanging gardens). The there's Cyrus, we're not told how much he financed to build the wall / city of Jerusalem at the end of the 70 year Babylonian captivity.

Genesis 2:7  And the Lord formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  KJV

Genesis 7:5  And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.  KJV

Genesis 7:22 (KJV) All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

Close  e nuff   It appears all that have nostrils have the breath of life. Fish breath through gills, insects through their skin / exoskeleton. It's interesting to look at the fossil record and see what the size of insects and plant life was before Noah's flood. It's a little complicated but, today insects can not grow any larger than they already are because of the amount of biomass they have, capable of absorbing the percentage of our oxygen available today. Just as in hyperbaric pressure chambers that promote quick healing and growth; the earth had to have a higher oxygen content and heavier pressure before the flood I would think. 

Based on the extraordinary size of everything prior to the flood and the greatly extended life spans of probably everything... I've wondered; if Methuselah lived 969 years; at what age did he stop growing, and what was the normal size back then of a human being?

That would depend on the gravity back then as gravity restricts our functional size. I have wondered if people matured and aged slower though.

Interesting question. I'm of the opinion that the globe was surrounded by some sort of protective canopy filtering out much of the solar radiation we get today. I suspect radiation might be one cause of our shortened life spans compared with people of the antediluvian period. Can you imagine how wonderful it's going to be when we get to Heaven, and all our many, many questions answered; and see and meet all the Apostles and Prophets?

Yes, I can. Looking forward to one of those arranged 'Meet and Greet' receptions!

@Dennis1209  Yep. I remember being taught this years ago about the protective canopy shielding earth from the dangerous radiation. Your theory about shorter life spans could be related. 

Btw, thanks for continuing posting the Bible trivia questions. Sorry that I keep on not discovering them in time. 

Keep in mind...I'm only a poky little turtle.

I can't keep up with that speedy 'go, go, go Beau' @BeauJangles LOL 

 Just kidding, brother.
