The oldest known living organism is a bristlecone pine tree in the White Mountains of California. It is over 5,000 years old — older than the Great Pyramid of Giza. It has no name, and its exact location is kept secret to protect it from those who might do it harm.
The oldest known living organism is a bristlecone pine tree in the White Mountains of California. It is over 5,000 years old — older than the Great Pyramid of Giza. It has no name, and its exact location is kept secret to protect it from those who might do it harm. Five thousand years of roots drinking snowmelt, and every spring it still puts on new growth — as though the command to cover the earth has never been revoked.
