The oldest living tree on Earth has survived longer than the pyramids

Methuselah, a Great Basin bristlecone pine, is over 4,800 years old. This ancient tree predates the Great Pyramid of Giza by nearly 500 years. Bristlecone pines survive harsh conditions, contributing to their remarkable longevity and resilience. Its exact location remains secret to protect it from potential harm and vandalism. Methuselah's growth rings offer invaluable data on Earth's historical climate patterns.
