In the movie I think I heard Gandlaf say that he lived 300 of men

Or would it be if the average men lived to be 60 x 300?

Any one care to do the math on that?  
18,000 years. Or, roughly now minus the end of the Upper Paleolithic period, glaciers and first reported stone tools and things.

He's not that old. I believe if you look in the appendices of Lord of the Rings, or in the Silmarillion, it dates the year in which Wizards first came from the west. I don't believe you can date Gandalf 100%. Remember he was a Maiar from Valinor, he may have very well existed for thousands of years before he came to Middle Earth. I do believe he lived on Middle Earth for 1500+ years.

They're both old. Very Old. Very, very VERY, old.

You'd think they'd be mature enough to desist from having a punch up over a mere difference of opinion, but...

Istari. Go figure...

Eh, you get to be that old, you have nothing else to do with your time...

Let just say that they are both old, but which one is older Gandlaf or Saruman?
