I live in a 274 year old building with original stained glass windows. The US mind cannot comprehend this.

I live on land 200 million years old. The human mind cannot comprehend that.

Above*. Pretty sure the land from 200 million years ago has been buried quite deep by now

When I lived in Germany, I lived in a building that was built before Columbus sailed on a canal built by the Romans.

Yeah, we would have replaced them with at least double pane windows to keep heating and cooling costs down by now. Central AC is standard most places here. Especially because I grew up in what could be considered the northern part of a swamp.

Yeah, 200+ years old houses arent too alien. Especially since mexico has ones that are even older. Hell if I looked around the east coast enough I could probably find some built by my ancestors.
