The individual in question, Archimedes, was born in 287 BC and died in 212 BC, which reflects a common occurrence in historical records where ages and dates can sometimes be confusing due to the calendar systems used in ancient times. The years BC (Before Christ) count backward, meaning that as time progresses, the years decrease. Thus, being born in 287 BC and dying in 212 BC indicates that he lived for 75 years.
