Old Egyptian art showed various ages, including aged people representing them by having white hair, forehead wrinkles, lines around nose and mouth, bowing of back, and body flabbiness. Research discusses how old Egyptian literature mentioned old people, it shows that teachings and advice encourage respect of seniors. Research discusses aging of men, women, and also Gods. Research ends by mentioning manifestations of care that old Egyptians gave to the old people, and the ways they used to delay senility and keep themselves in form.
