Interesting.
We often have a tendency to write off ancient peoples as dumb because they were ignorant of many basic facts, however that is not true, and few people are ever more manipulative then those in the court of a king such as josiah, and many mechanisms were added after beginning of christianity.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
