Hey Guys

Riddle Me This..

Here is a riddle. I await your response. 

I was there when dinosaurs ruled this world. They were big, bold and terrifying. I was there when kings and queens dominated the lands. Each fought with a particular brand of justice. I was there when the wheel was built and the first language ever was spoken. I have seen glaciers melt to water and have felt the sun strong on my back. I was there when farming yielded to the industrial revolution, a new type of thing was created: machines. I was there when Lincoln was assassinated. I was there to observe the coming of a new dawn: World War I. I was also there to observe World War II. I was there when the first car sloppily trudged unevenly down dirt roads. I was there to witness the horrific atrocities and the greatest achievements of this world and all possible worlds held in this universe and all others before and after it.

Who or What am I?
