I am grateful for every year that I am old!







In those days, 28 was about as long as you could expect to live. And more than 75 percent of kids under the age of 10 died.

The dead were wrapped in two sheets with a layer of lime between them, and then burried in a fetal position in these sandstone cemeteries.

Building temples like these in 500 BC doesn't exactly promote long life.
