Do you know when the Great Pyramids of Giza were built? According to researchers, they estimate that the pyramids have stood for roughly 4,500 years since construction. 4,500 years might not seem like a very long time, considering the age of our planet, but this fact will blow your mind.

To Cleopatra, the last ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, these pyramids were already ancient buildings while she was in power. She lived closer to the invention of the iPhone than she did the construction of these magnificent buildings in her own land. Yeah, let that sink in for a moment.
