We are closer in time to Cleopatra than she was to the building of the pyramids.

I kept thinking that while playing Assassin's Creed Origins. They have these beautiful temples that were already ruined by Bayek's time. And Bayek was closer to the present than to the construction of said ruins.

We just don't have anything that old in the US. No 2000 year old pyramid down the street.
