I think this guy has been my most successful in terms of longevity and descendants.
A boy was born in 1224 BCE, on the Ganges Plain, near present-day Varanasi; his name is lost to history. He lived in a hamlet of about 40 people. He made his home in a timber-and-earth courtyard house. Of three children, he was the first. His mother died when he was 45, his father when he was 49. His diet was mostly rice, river fish, lentils and pulses, and gourds and leafy greens, with seasonal mango. His height was about 167 cm (5 ft 6 in).
He married at 17. At 37, he was widowed, and in time took another wife. He had four children, of whom a boy and a girl survived past childhood. The greatest distance he ever travelled was 2 days’ walk, to another village. He spoke an unrecorded pre-Indo-Aryan language, and his faith was a local polytheistic religion. By occupation he was a blacksmith. He made his living on what a craft or trade brought in.
He died of the infirmities of old age at 86. He left seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren behind. After death, he was cremated on a pyre, the fire carrying the body away.
