    The question he asked was more like “oldest person who’s life was somewhat documented” so he goes later to find the first person with a recorded history. I wanna say he ended up on someone in an egyptian king’s court

      I think it was Imhotep, priest, architect and doctor at the court of Djoser, credited with designing the first great pyramid and later deified for that. Problem is that nearly all sources on him are much later.
