The figure of speech used here is hyperbole.
A hyperbole is a purposely exaggerated way of expressing oneself. For example, here, it is not possible for Pamue to be teaching since Stone Age. The Stone Age was centuries ago and no one from the Stone Age is alive today. So, how can Pamue be teaching since then?
It is clear that the Stone Age is not meant to be taken literally. It is only a way of saying that Pamue has been teaching for a very long time. It is a clear case of exaggeration and so, the figure of speech is a hyperbole.
Other examples of hyperbole are:
I am so hungry that I could eat a dinosaur.
My heart stopped beating when I saw the gift.
