Medieval life expectancy of a human * 1
    #23597123 - 08/31/16 11:09 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

There's this misconception out there that almost everybody seems to believe. Back in medieval days, people died a very young age (30 or 40 years old). I have also believed it, but it turns out that it isn't that at all.

Although the average age expectancy was something like 35, it didn't really represent reality because the data was offset by a large amount of infant mortality. If someone made it to 20 years old back in the day, his average age expectancy was roughly 65 years old! Some people saw their great grandkids back in the day too.

With all the modern medecine, research and effort, we now stand at roughly 80 years old. Just 15 more years than in medieval times. It doesn't really seem that impressive...

Anyway.

Discuss.

This illustrates how an "average" value can sometimes be misleading and pretty much useless.

The Peoples age in the Bible was done in the seasons they didn't count age by the 364 days as one full year, its more like you gain 4 or 5 years to one of our years. That's just what I have been told and noticed.
Seen stories people living too 700 but reality more like 80 yrs old. Mosses I thought did live to be in his 90s though

Like thor nigga

"The esoteric secret of the gods was that their mystical powers of longevity, authority, and creativity came from the same female essence. The Norse god Thor for example reached the magick and of enlightenment and eternal life by bathing in a river filled the menstrual blood of "giantesses" that is of the Primal Matriarchs, "Powerful Ones" who governed the elder gods before Odin brought his "Asians" (Aesir) out of the east. Odin acquire supremacy by stealing and drinking the "wise blood" form the triple cauldron in the womb of Mother-Earth, the Triple Goddess know as Kali-Maya in southeast Asia."
