Claims of earliest, and oldest always give me a chuckle. This planet has a long history, with only a tiny fraction of it readily understandable by modern man. To boast earliest seems less scientific, and more egotistic.

Fair point. "Earliest known" really just means earliest so far found and dated, not a final claim about human history itself. Given how much of the past hasn't been excavated yet, that label is likely to keep moving as new sites turn up. Thanks for pushing back on it.

I believe God created the world about 7 or 8 thousand years ago. Every single historical book up until the mid-1800’s attests to this (even Aristotle agreed that there had to be a ‘first mover’) and then the Freemason’s like Smellie, Darwin et al by way of destroying what humans knew since the beginning created the lie that is evolution, the Big Bang etc and the enemies of God have continued to perpetuate these lies and many others for the last 2 centuries.
