I doubt even half of them would be - because, if revived, what would they do? What would 5000 people from around 1000 AD do in modern times?

They would be adults, then. Small children from 1000 AD could just learn what's going on in modern times and start doing whatever everyone else is doing.

So what exactly is keeping the adults back here? And would it still be a thing in a world where you can bring frozen human brains back to life?
