Fact #1: Cleopatra Lived Closer in Time to the Release of the First iPhone Than to the Construction of the Famous Great Pyramid of Giza

Sounds like we made that fact up? We get that you might think that, but it's actually true! Cleopatra, who was known for her intellect and her beautiful appearance, died 30 BCE. The first iPhone came on the market in June 2007. That's 2037 years between the two events. However, the construction of the oldest and largest pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Cheops, took place from around 2620 to 2500 BCE approximately. That's at least 2740 years before Cleopatra died!
