“Besides, to remember Moses you’d have to be 3500 years old, not just 1500.”
Artistic license. In Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner’s “2,000 Year-Old Man” sketches, he recalls knowing Onan (who invented “knowing thyself”). That put him in Genesis times, not just Exodus. Of course, Brooks’s “Man” was 500 years older than Broomie, and that was 50 years ago…
That reminds me of a joke:
A family was visiting the Natural History Museum, and were marveling at the T-Rex skeleton. They asked the guard how old it was, and the guard said “That skeleton is sixty-five million and twelve years old.” “Sixty-five million and twelve?” they asked. “How can you be so precise?” “Well,” the guard replied, “when I started working here I was told it was sixty-five million years old, and that was twelve years ago…”

Broomie would have to be older than dirt to know Moses.

I wonder if the 2,000-Year-Old-Man ever dated Broomie.
