As iconic as the pyramids are, they're not very useful. A better comparison may be the Pantheon in Rome. Nearly two thousand years old and in continuous use throughout its life. There are a number of other Roman structures that have seen continuous, heavy use for over a thousand years.
There are actually quite a number of ancient temples, churches, bridges, castles, and roads still in use throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Hōryū-ji [1] in Japan is a 1300-year-old wooden Buddhist temple that's still in use today!
