That was like getting to 60 in today's terms
You're probably joking but if you're not, this idea pisses me off.
The average is skewed by childhood mortality at birth or due to childhood diseases and birth defects. If you made it to 20 in the Bronze Age and weren't killed by violence, there's a damn good chance you'd hit 60 or 70 years old.
Well also there were the Romans. I imagine being conquered ages you at least a decade.
I'm talking world-wide not that time of empire. Also way before Roman was a thing.
It's even referenced in the Bible, showing that the writers had a good idea of the maximum human lifespan even back then.
Unless you're being funny get fuct.
