Found myself thinking about how 200 years is seen as a limit for how long countries remain viable, and remembered that Egypt's 18th Dynasty lasted just about that long - most were noticeably shorter. It ended quickly after the boy-king Tutankhamen died young without an heir. Maybe a notice for what it takes for such a thing to end.
