      From: jtem01@gmail.com              Was just watching an old documentary (1998)       on ancient egypt I came across on the Roku       box and they threw out an interesting number:              One out of three ancient Egyptian babies       died at birth.              I don't have any numbers (percentages) on how       many people survived childhood, but a variety       of sources I've run across claim that life       expectancy for those that did was in the 30s.               ...most never saw 40.              They must've been breeding like bunnies, huh?                                          -- --              http://jtem.tumblr.com/post/180210127423              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
