In Genesis 12:4 Abraham was 75 years old when he left his home came to Egypt. Now Sarah was 10 years younger than Abraham (Genesis 17:17).
That means Sarah was 65 when she came to Egypt. And yet Pharaoh was captivated by her beauty.
Again the same thing happened with another ruler named Abimelech (Genesis 20). He also took her away but God prevented him from touching her.
The problem with this story is that Sarah was already ninety years old. What wrong with pharaoh and abimelech?
By the way, you can't say that people aged more slowly during those times because the longest living pharaoh was Ramses II and he died at ninety.
