I think that's the joke. Obviously much less time separates us from the pyramids than separates the pyramids from stegosaurus.

This is definitely a humorous subversion of that variety of fun fact, since two popular versions are that Cleopatra lived closer to the modern day than to the construction of the pyramids, and that T-Rex lived closer to the modern day than it did to stegosaurus.
