Fairly well for the next 3000 years since not a lot changed.
Well for starters his decedents would no longer be ruled by someone (purporting to be) a living incarnation of the sun god. Something he would no doubt consider extremely shocking.
So we have gone from worshiping the sun god to worshiping the son of god.
Nice pun. Now do you have a serious response?
The life of a typical Egyptian didn't much change from 2000 BC to 1000 AD. And for most of this time the leaders claimed to have a strong connection or endorsement from the divine. An educated Egyptian living in 2000 BC would be aware of the diversity of religion in the world and would probably expect that over the next 3000 years religious practices would change in form in his country.
And yet I feel you don't want to follow that example of success :-P
Are you joking?
No, the life of the average human didn't much change from 2000 BC to 1000 AD.
