Jorg, wow! your way brighter than me. My point was just that with
the tangible assist from magic, rituals and worship to boost child
survival rates, people survival rates and output from husbandry and
farming then I 'imagine' the population figure not too high.
However I do take your point, but cling fastidiously to mine! ;-)
