Cleopatra lived closer in time to the Moon landing than the construction of the pyramids. Cleopatra was born around the year 69 BCE, and died in 30 BCE, so just about 2000 years before the 1969 first Moon landing. The iconic Great Pyramid of Giza was build under Pharoah Khufu (also known in English as Cheops) whose reign is generally dated 2589–2566 BC, so five hundred years farther away in time. Bonus: wolly mammoths were still alive when the pyramids of Giza were built. One tiny population endured on isolated Wrangel Island until 1650 BCE.

BREAKING: Unrealized losses on investment securities for banks jumped to $517 BILLION in Q1 2024. This is $39 billion higher than the $478 billion recorded in Q4 2023. The surge was driven by higher residential mortgage-backed securities losses held by banks due to rising mortgage rates. Q1 2024 also marked the 10th consecutive quarter of unrealized losses, an even longer streak than during the 2008 Financial Crisis. As “higher for longer” returns, unrealized losses are likely to continue rising. Did the banking crisis ever really end?
