) people.

Thank you. To my regret my personal registration for "drive.google.com" is required... I do not know, it is how acceptable for our website. Therefore still did not use this reference.

Hi all
Since I've been eunuch for over 30 years I've read quite a few articles, etc. about eunuchs in history. My biggest question about this is how did they live so long without hormones? I went 9 years without any hormones, but after having migraines for about a year finally started on T. In the bible Daniel was taken captive into Babylon in his late teens/early 20s and became a eunuch. He lived into his 80s. What did they know back then that has been forgotten?
Here recently I read a few articles saying the eunuchs back then and in China, Japan more recently, etc lived longer than the average person, again what's up with that? Daniel was given a test because he refused to eat the royal, non kosher food and he went on a vegetarian diet. You suppose it is something to do with all the crap we've put in our bodies?
Just food for thought, discussion. Not sure we'll even know.

Scholars believe that the book of Daniel is fiction, written to make a point about the power of God. It is written not in classical Hebrew but in the later developed Aramaic. This being so there is no point in speculating whether Daniel was a eunuch. The fact of Babylon and later Persia being eunuch cultures with thousands of preteen boys being castrated, is not in dispute.
