As you can see: I have a lot of dead-looking trees on my site. They are called Bristlecone Pines and are the oldest trees (oldest living things) in the world. They appear to be dead but are very much alive.
History books generally point to 2550 B.C. as the approximate date when the pyramid of Giza was under construction
To help you realize just how old today's Bristlecones are, some of theses ancient trees were taking root when the pyramids were being built.
One of the oldest still alive, called Methuselah, has been dated at 4,775 years. Methuselah was some 3,000 years old when Jesus walked the earth.
They appear dead on the outside but are alive on the inside. A depressed person is just the opposite. We appear to be quite alive on the outside but are dead within.
