Facts That Will Shatter Your Perception Of Time

Cleopatra didn’t live very close in time to the creation of the pyramids. The opening of McDonald’s was actually closer to her time period.

It may seem like Cleopatra and the Egyptian pyramids are symbols of the same time period. In fact, it’s not true. Cleopatra was born in 69 BC. By this time, the Great Pyramid of Giza was already 2,471 years old. And the most curious fact is that there is less time between the birth of Cleopatra and the opening of the first McDonald’s restaurant — just 2,024 years.
