I accidentally said I was 40 or so decades old. Everyone had a great laugh at my simple error, well done.

Anyway, if I WERE 10 times older I would have been born in 1599.

Here are some things I might have been seeing as a child and throughout my life.

My birth year

Young Teen (13)

Young adult (18)

Present age (41)

Post your'n.

William Dampier explores the northwest coast of Australia.

I was born in San Diego. Not surprisingly, Wiki has no information on any kind of history in Southern California for the year 1529. If I was born then I would most certainly have been indigenous and seen the takeover by the Spaniards and then the Americans, climaxed by the election of actors as govenors of California.

I am sooooooo glad I was not born in 1529.

I think that the thought may have occurred to him when he first saw the local crocodiles.

I'm fascinated by this though:
Birth year: May 13 – Marquis of Pombal, Prime Minister of Portugal (d. 1782)
This was one of the most important figures of Portugal in the 18th century (if not THE most important one).

Nice find... I'll need to read each of mine more careful.

Thanks for the link. That's pretty much my brief summary, eh? 😛

You have a Pope and two very famous painters. Not bad!

You'd probably be van Dyck. The name suits you somehow. 😛

Well, I'm quite young but do know someone so advanced in years that he was there

when He wept (and this gent's presence and person were a part of the reason why).
