Seeded in 2833 BCE

Methuselah, the oldest tree known to man, is over 4,800 years old. It’s totally crazy that this tree was but a wee sapling when the pyramids were still being built. We’re sorry for taking you back to Ancient Egypt for the third time on this list, but it really does help put thousands of years in perspective.

If you want to visit this tree, you should head on over to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in Inyo National Forest. However, the exact location of the tree is kept under tight wraps by the US government. They probably had to deal with graffiti from inebriated tourists in the past.
