4000 years isn't very long for a star -- it's probably still there.
But there are many stars that we see in the sky that burnt out or exploded millions of years ago.
Also, if you look really deep into space, you can see things like quasars that existed in the early years of the universe, billions of years before the solar system (or our galaxy, for that matter) formed.
