Technically correct, just as yesterday was closer to the formation of the moon than today is.

There were still mammoth when the pyramids were being built.

This makes me wonder if there is any possibility that someone who worked on the pyramids knew what roast mammoth tasted like. I suspect the possibility is 0 due to geography, but maybe someone got sick of being cold and happened to be an architect?

There are people around right now who know how roast mammoth tastes.
