When Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun died around 1323 BC, China's first imperial dynasty was still roughly 1,000 years away, the traditional date of the Trojan War lay about 200 years ahead, and Rome would not be founded for nearly 600 years. The Great Pyramid of Giza, however, was already more than 1,000 years old.
