I love that he has a receding hairline there. Also that’s a bit old of a look for a man who died at like 30

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.

It's even referenced in the Bible, showing that the writers had a good idea of the maximum human lifespan even back then.

[Genesis 6:3] Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years."
