Was Cleopatra closer in time to the Moon landing or the pyramids?

~450 years closer to the Moon landing
History

Cleopatra was born in 69 BC. The Great Pyramid of Giza was completed around 2560 BC, about 2,490 years before her birth. The Moon landing in 1969 came about 2,040 years after it. So she lived roughly 450 years closer to Neil Armstrong than to the pyramid builders.
