how old is it?

We found a cross-section of an amazing tree outside the Yosemite Museum. Just to let you know how old it really is...here are a few dates to ponder:
  • A.D. 923
  • 1066 Battle of Hastings
  • 1215 Magna Charta
  • 1492 Landing of Columbus
  • 1620 Landing of Pilgrims
  • 1776 Declaration of Independence
  • 1860 Civil War
  • 1864 Lincoln signed Yosemite Grant
  • 1890 Yosemite national Park
