Time is Relative

I live in Southern California and if anything here is 200 years old, it is considered ancient.
In 1798, a little more than 200 years ago, Napoleon and his armies were occupying Egypt and it was already ancient.








 A little more than 2,200 years before that, Alexander the Great and his armies conquered Egypt in 332bc, and the land was ancient even then. By that time, the Pyramids were already 2,200 years old. Hard to fathom.
