Summary
Closer to us than to the pyramids. Pyramids: 2560 BC, Cleopatra: 30 BC, iPhone: 2007 AD.
The Pyramids were built in 2560 BC. Cleopatra lived in 30 BC. The gap is 2500 years.
The gap between Cleopatra and today is only 2050 years. So Cleopatra looked at the Pyramids from further away than we look at her.
An interesting comparison: Cleopatra is closer to the iPhone than to the Pyramids!
