What would be the life-expectansy of a child, born 10.000 years ago in Egypt, on a farm, near the Gizeh-plateau? He, we always talk of we, the life-expectansy of a woman, is a completely different one!, could reach an age of 50 or 60. Might, because the skeletons of old people are scarce. Often skeletons are found, that, according to forensic science, had died in battle and were severely wounded. Almost all remains also had wounds, that had healed and were treated. Egyptian doctors could perform brain surgery and operating tools developed by the Romans, are still in use today. Otzi, the Iceman, was killed by an arrow, but had survived earlier wounds. Combined with hard, manual labor, war and soldiering and dangerous animals, like crocodiles and snakes, many youngster never reached the age of thirty (Tut-Ankh-Amon died at the age of 18).
reconstruction Ramses the Great
A pharao like Ramses II (the Great) ruled for more than half a century. For many it would seem, that Ramses really was a God. He did not age (make up), did not suffer, was succesfull in battle and lived forever. In the Bible,Menthusalem is mentioned as the oldest living man. Adam, Kain (not Abel), Noah, Moses and many others lived for hundreds of years. Because we are expelled from Paradise and crippled after the Flood, our lifespan grew less and less. Only in the last centuries, due to medicine and drugs, the average age grew. Now being about 80 years in Holland. But in African countries or Russia, you may be glad to reach 60.
What if an extraterrestial craft stranded on earth. Its crew and passengers mainly humanoid, with some Reptilians and Greys, comes into contact with local proto-Egyptian tribes, living a life of luxury in the green and fertile Nile-delta. Neolithic culture is friendly and open. The aliens were welcomed and because of their advanced technology and knowledge, they became important (medicine, miracles and craft) and influential (leaders, priests, sjamans). Neolithic man (an woman) became addicted to this “Power and Wealth of the Gods”. In the End the stranded alien travellers completely took over and introduced the “Pharaonic System”, or “Gizeh Intelligence”. For the Egyptians the Pharao was (literally) immortal and in fact he was. Ramses I till 12, where one and the same person. So were all the Tutmoses'. Cleopatra had reigned 7 times, before she was forced to commit suicide. Interestingly, the mummy of Ramses the Great, has been discovered in the Valley of the Kings and is exhibited at the Cairo Museum, untill this moment. An alien encounter?
