Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. The Bible is not one book, and it had many authors. There are plenty of historical reference that have been corroborated by archeological findings. You don't need to believe everything to believe something. Edit: I'm also not suggesting that 120 years of age is some sort of divine limit, but it does hint at the sort of lifespans the people at that time considered were possible. Second edit: I mixed my sources up. The 70-80 years that a psalmist mentions is probably a more likely standard old age.
