Inside an ancient forest: Surrounded by 4,000-year-old trees in VR
From the building of the Egyptian pyramids to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that buried Pompeii to the collapse of the Mayan civilization, Methuselah has lived through them all. At roughly 4,800 years old, this Great Basin bristlecone pine is one of the oldest trees in world.

Methuselah grows nearly two miles above sea level in California’s Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. It’s been in good company over the past several thousand years. A number of trees in this protected area of the White Mountains are over 4,000 years old. Wander amongst these hardy plants with VRtually There in the video below.

What would Eli think about 4,000 year-old trees? Humbled to encounter something alive much older than herself? Happy to commune with them? We don't know, but at least you can experience them in virtual 3D.
