The absolute number of deaths from the Bubonic Plague is meaningless. What matters is that roughly half of all English boroughs were essentially totally depopulated. This means that the Death Rate was about half; this also meant that half of all Boroughs in Parliament were the so-called “Rotten” boroughs where the “population” was the landlord and his friends, who could vote in anyone they chose. Prime Minister Wm Pitt (I guess the Younger) was usually voted in by a Rotten Borough, for instance.

The pyramids have a date of 36, 000 years old, not the 3, 500 years old we’ve been taught, let’s get the history correct!

Did you know that 46 year old William Shakespeare left his signature in the 46 Psalm of the King James Bible? Count 46 words from the beginning then, ignoring the selah, 46 words from the end. Shake Spear.

the ancient Egyptians did not build the great pyramids and they were not tombs.
