“Did People in the Ancient World Really Die Young? The Truth History Never Told You”

Описание: Did people in the ancient world really live such short lives?
The common belief says yes—but the truth is far more surprising.
While average life expectancy in ancient times appears low, that number is heavily skewed by extremely high infant mortality. Once someone survived childhood, many went on to live into their 60s, 70s, and beyond.
Archaeological evidence, historical records, and ancient texts reveal societies where elders held respected roles as leaders, teachers, healers, and advisors. From Roman senators and Greek philosophers to ancient Chinese scholars, long lives were not the exception—they were a recognized part of society.
