#Allotted so-few Years, we think THESE #Allotments were 'Ancient' before everything else; but @BuzzFeed (with @MSNnews) 'bring us up-to-date' (or 'down-to-history' as the case may be)
MSN News shares BuzzFeed's explanation of 'the weird time-ago of major events' in a report you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Allotted” (meaning of a word in the foundation beneath "Time") is built on ancient words that mean "#Lot To."

The word “Lot” is built on ancient words that mean "to 'Cast Lots' (which I always thought was 'Rolling the Dice,' but it was originally more like 'Shaking the Hat until someone's Name Falls out' ... where we get #Lottery #Lotto), Obtain by Chance, a Share of Land, to Foretell (by 'Reading the Patterns of Fallen Bones-etc.)"
