Yes seeds are alive.

Exactly which 4000 year old seeds found in the desert grew?

Your line of reasoning (if it can be called that) is based on a fable and
not fact.

There are also examples of animals, especially frogs and lung fish, that can
survive many years in hibernation and come out of it. But 4000 years is a
bit much to believe or even prove.

But then again there are the remarkable "water bears".

Are seeds alive or not? Seeds have been
found in the desert and that are 4000 years
old, but when put in moist soil, they grow.

So where does the life come from? Is it generated
when conditions are right? Or was the seed alive
but dormant? Do the conditions make life? Can't
find answers - I don't think anyone knows.
