We know different from forensic science performed on Mummies. Their lives were often short, ( 40 was old age for most commoners), malnourished ( food availability was driven by season and regional famine, with poor transportation), full of sickness ( the flue and a common cold could kill you,and VD was so rampant at times that marriage was no guarantee against it), overwork ( dawn to dusk for peasants and their children), and episodes of terrifying violence ( when an army conquerd, it killed everyone, pillaged , burned and then salted the earth.)
It all sounds just like what George Bush has brought about, according to Liberals.
Liberal scientists are now upon us. May they all rot sooner than they think possible, and may DT Suzuki be among the first.
