Car simply will not start

Car has been very well maintained by myself and Honda dealer. Purchased new by myself who remains the owner. Ran well as ever until I let it sit for months on end after buying second primary auto to drive. Cranked car regularly to keep the engine alive, but let sit for long while. Nonetheless, battery did drained out, yet when attempts at cranking even with a jump, car refuses to start. Hi-test gas added, new plugs installed, even starting fluid failed to bring it to life. Curiosity led to eyeing distributor appearance that shows the oft spoke of orange-brown dust inside cap. I guess it is the whitish looking rotor that seems a little burnt on the leading edge? Any suggestions are much welcome.

Check for spark at the spark plug wire where it attaches to the spark plug and let us know if you have spark or not.
