Resurrecting OLD seeds

so, i am running out of my beans from the early to mid 2000s,
if i am not mistaken, this batch is from roughly 2006? dont know exactly but sofar, everything i’ve tried has failed to produce viable seedlings, the seeds have been stored in sealed glass vials, properly dried and last used…a long time ago
I have tried…
pure water,
soaked overnight, left in mildly damp paper towels
unsoaked, left in mildly damp paper towels

soaked in sugar water overnight/paper towels
sugar water damp paper towels

honey water soaked paper towels
plant food soaked paper towels

heavily soaked paper towels, pure water

mildly damp soil
heavily damp soil

if they can revive 1000 year old seeds, ~10-15 year old shouldn’t be THAT bad
