Egyptologists uncover rare tombs from before the Pharaohs

My favorite fact that puts time in perspective is that Cleopatra lived closer in time to the Moon Landing than the building of the great pyramids. (Also sometimes phrased as living closer in time to the first Pizza Hut instead of Moon Landing.) If you search it, you'll find listicles that go through a bunch of these fun facts.

Another iteration is simply she lived closer in time to the present than the building of the great pyramids. And yet another is replacing her with Jesus

The Pizza Hut is basically across the street from her home so that's pretty valid.

I guess that makes her closer in time and space.
