It can't be that great, but I could err.
I've read studies of projected population growth and the accounts of BoM populations, and the numbers don't add up. Either the populations spoken of in the BoM are greatly exagerated or the rate of population growth during the time of the BoM was off-the-charts unprecedented for that period time.
