Methuselah, oldest tree in the world. There are such living
things on Earth, the oldest of which is aptly named Methuselah,
a 4,800-year-old Great Basin Bristlecone pine, located in
Methuselah alley, Nevada. Yes, this is officially the oldest
tree in the world. There was an older tree there named
Prometheus, but it was cut down in 1964 by a researcher in
controversial circumstances. This species of tree is thought to
be the longest lived of all.
