An underwater meadow is older than the Pyramids.
One of the oldest living things on Earth is a seagrass meadow growing in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a type of seagrass called posidonia oceanica, which has been tested by scientists to reveal that it is up to 200,000 years old. This makes the meadow older than the Eiffel Tower, the Parthenon in Athens, the Pyramids, and the extinct woolly mammoths.
