Karna - 40 πŸ˜† πŸ˜†
Unbelievable ! I have heard that Karna was 8yrs older to Yudhishthir..so he isn't 40, he must be 38 but 38 is also unbelievable...
He looks much younger than Yudhishthir and Bheem.. Edited by candidfrisky - 10 years ago

The life expectancy was high in that age.May be 40-50 was marriageable age for them.

but "balya" stage lasted till 40 years so...
How much correct is Mahabharat Chronology?
According to that yudhishtir should be 36+ right now, bheem will be 38 when he kills baka and arjun will be 38 during draupadis swayamvar ... So yudhi will be 40+ then ...The only pandava in his "youven" stage and karna should be 16 years older than yudhishtira so he will be 56.
They will enter their middle age after 120?Till then, they all are young men.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this. Krishna was 89 years old at the Battle of Kurukshetra and Abhimanyu being youngest was 16 years old.
