Cleopatra lived closer in time to the invention of the iPhone than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The Great Pyramid was completed around 2560 BCE.
Cleopatra lived around 69–30 BCE.
The first iPhone was released in 2007.

So, roughly:

Pyramid → Cleopatra: 2,500 years
Cleopatra → iPhone: 2,000 years

Cleopatra was actually born about 2,500 years after the Great Pyramid was built—meaning the pyramid was already ancient history to her.

And here’s the really wild part: Cleopatra lived closer to the Moon landing in 1969 than to the building of the Great Pyramid.
