My go to reminder of how old civilization is is the fact that the time between Great Pyramid and Jesus is longer than the time between Jesus and today. And this ignores even that we know of rather large settlements (hundreds) even twice the age of the Great Pyramid.

A similar comparison: Cleopatra lived closer in time to the moon landings than to the building of the Great Pyramid. (And not just by a small amount of time but about 500 years or so)
