Oldest recorded age in ancient history?

[Conan]

Hi guys,

Just wondering what was the oldest recorded age known in EB's time frame?

There is a mention of 96 + 104 in a year of history in game.

Recorded?

Well - Terrentia, Cicero's wife is supposed to have lived to 102-3 - I had to check that, I thought it was 106.

We do have to wonder about the credibility of some of these reports.

I think a monk in ancient Egypt, Anthony, was recorded to be 105 when he died but again, the credibility of these sources are suspect.

Which is not to say it isn't true - with a good diet and good genes there's no reason someone in the Ancient world shouldn't live so long. In the more temperate parts of Europe you just need to avoid accidents and and plagues and you'll likely live as long as someone today.

My Grandfather live to 99 and 11 months, had he not fallen over and broken his hip he likely would have lived a few more years.

Some say that Pepi II grew to be a 100 years old, reigning 94 of them making him the longest reigning monarch in history. Though it's debated.

Well in Mesopotamian king lists here apparantly were kings reigning for hundreds or thousands of years. This time of course it is not credible at all. Unless you believe in the Alien theories.
