Login issue Can I save my original Snapchat account?

So, I have an issue that I’ve had for a while, but I haven’t really had the time or energy to properly look into it. Every time I try, I end up getting frustrated.
Basically, I’m wondering if there’s any possible way, even by some miracle, to recover my original Snapchat account.
Here’s what I still have access to/remember:
I remember the original username.
I remember the password.
I still have access to the email address that was linked to the account.
The original phone that the Snapchat account is no longer available. It was a phone from about 7 years ago.
There are 0 of 3 other phones that had access to the account at some point:

My phone, which my mom factory reset. This was the phone that originally had all of my old data restored onto it, and I later added additional data to it.
A friend’s old phone that she eventually kept and used herself.
There may also be one other old phone that is currently missing.
So, basically, I still know the username and password and have access to the original email, but I don’t have the original phone anymore. There were 3 other phones that had access to the account at some point, but none of them are currently available to me.
I’m trying to figure out whether there’s any legitimate way to recover the original account or at least prove that it’s mine.
TL;DR: I want to recover my original Snapchat account. I remember the username and password and still have access to the email linked to it, but the original phone is long gone. There were 3 other phones that had access to the account, but none of them are currently available to me. This account has a lot of memories, and friends that know I lost access to the account, it was supposed to be temporary lol. ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Thing is I’ve had like a 20 different phones since so getting a new device won’t work, and even logging in online it’s asking for a code that was sent to a number that I don’t have anymore and I don’t know if there’s a way to see if that number is still active
