Methuselah Tree

Ten thousand feet up in California's White Mountains lives the oldest living thing on Earth. It is a bristlecone pine that was around when the Egyptian Pyramids were built. Ironically, after weathering all the droughts, high winds, and lightning strikes that must have struck over the millennia, the nearly 5,000-year-old Methuselah Tree now faces threats from the one force of nature that seemingly can do it harm: people.

:p :D :cool:

What is cool is that the tree shows no signs of dying. Scientists even took a pinecone from it and checked to see how many seeds would germinate. Every single seed, I think there were 90-some, germinated and grew healthy plants.

On a footnote: There are actually trees that are older, but people aren’t saying where they are. If people knew, they would be taking souvenirs off the things. This one guy cut a tree down to see how old it was and found out it was even older than the one in the picture. At the time, the one he cut down was the oldest living thing on the planet….and this goofball killed it.
