Not only that, but a person could be King of England or Pharoah of Egypt at an early age. This was usually followed by being a former King or Pharoah, still at an early age.
You are right.
IMO, this "issue" is a red herring, and it completely misses the point of the actual transgressions of the radical muslims upon the world (as in, currently). The fact is that the average life expectancy up until the 16th century was quite low, around 40 years. So it is not surprising that marriage/intercourse occured at a much earlier age. That this is a topic of disagreement NOW is ludicrous. WHO CARES what may or may not have happened hundreds of years ago. What is significant now is WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW. Current grievances are what must be addressed now.
I cannot believe the stupidity of the people who insist upon waging the wars of the past. What next, who was right about exactly when the Earth first cooled? Zealotry on all sides must go.
