00:00So, when you think of Cleopatra, you probably imagine her walking around the pyramids of Egypt, right?
00:06Well, here's a mind-blowing fact.
00:09Cleopatra lived closer in time to the invention of the iPhone than the building of the Great Pyramid.
00:14The Great Pyramid of Giza was completed around 2560 BCE.
00:20Cleopatra ruled Egypt in the 1st century BCE, around 30 BCE.
00:25That's, uh, over 2,500 years between the pyramids and Cleopatra.
00:30But only about 2,000 years between Cleopatra and today.
00:33Let that sink in.
00:34The pyramids were already ancient ruins to Cleopatra.
00:38To her, they were as distant as the ancient Romans are to us.
00:41History isn't just old, it's layered, and sometimes the timelines will absolutely blow your mind.
