It appears that two of my thyme seeds have sprouted about mid-day yesterday, the 29th - 5 1/2 days after sewing them. It's either just two early bloomers (likely), or else the rest of the seed is dead and that's all I'll see. Time will tell.
Dead seed can be a problem. I've sewn several thousand poppy seeds, and out of that several thousand, only two ever sprouted. Neither of those two lived long enough to flower. I'm told poppy seed can only live for a year, and am prone to believe it.
