I believe Alexander the Great is about midway between the Pyramids construction and our era.

And I think Herodotus is almost the midpoint of recorded history.

The great pyramid was built 2500 years before Cleopatra was born. The pyramid would have been considered ancient by her.

I thought I read somewhere that we are closer to the time Cleopatra was alive than she was to the building of the Pyramids.

The Egyptian civilization lasted so long, that they had their own Egyptian archaeologists to study earlier eras of Egyptian civilization.
