Thanks a lot for the recommendations. I will have a crack.

I did not know that about thinking symbolically.

Instead of really old, it’s really, really old.

Yeah and it really difficult - I’ve tried and not succeeded. Could be a lost ability - for me at least. That’s how they thought about what we have called their ‘gods’ which were not gods, but something else - since they had no word for religion.

Mummy science is settled. This must be a conspiracy theory.

Bill Clinton: “You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That’s a good-looking mummy.”

Actual quote and I think the preserved mummy in question died at around 13 years old. LOL

Thanks Oshkalaboomboom. Mummy told me there'd be discoveries like these.

Mummy kept telling us she was 39 years old every birthday.

We started to doubt her after 20 years or so.

"“Mummies” are always female. LOL ( grin)"

So this is what caused "Slick Willie" to go back to the hospital.

Didn't this happen the last time he "Dated a Mummy"?

“Believe the SCIENCE!”

Believe the SCIENCE FICTION would be better suited here.
These guys and dolls had best turn it down a bit.
They easily manage the take down of their own profession.

Show me the money/publicity; I’ll then change something
crucial to all concerned.

Because history dates prior to the Persian invasion of Babylon are pretty much "Best guess" you are partly correct.

That is because there was no world wide calendar or even one in wide spread use. So when you came up on "In the year of -fill in the blank- This Happened" you have to figure out when that was. The closer it is to the Persian invasion the more accurate it will be but even then it is kind of iffy.

And that is if you have any written history.

For the vast majority we have no real written history at all.

History is not science.

Science may be used to establish certain things about history but when it comes to time lines we are fitting together tiny pieces of this and that.

It is more then a guess but not as solid as fact.
