Throughout the 2,000 year history, no doubt they did, but not, I
suspect, at the rate that we do. For instance, there was a TV program in
the UK a few years back where a family had to go live in a house set up
as it would have been in 1900 (I believe there may have been a US
version, too). I'd bet they experienced more of a culture shock than a
10th century BC Egyptian peasant would have done if forced to live like
an 11th century BC Egyptian peasant! More to the point perhaps, the
original claim was that historical real-world societies, presumably
including Ancient Egypt, changed more rapidly than Gloranthan ones. It
seems to me that in *their* history of invasions and new ideas, the Dara
Happans (say) have changed about as much over the last 1,600 years as
Egyptians did over the same time period. Quite likely more so, once the
Lunars turned up!
