That wikipedia page proves my point. If you look past the monkey-come-man funeral bit, earliest RECORDED history very recent, about 10,000 years or less.

Even Karen Armstrong can only get back as long as 30,000 years ago. But much of the stuff pre 10,000 years ago is supposition and not actually recorded history.

I think you accuse me of something that you do yourself. I come up with an argument, you go to Google and pull of the first thing you find to support your case.

Here's a question. Why if the earth is 13 billion years old have we only got recorded history for about 10,000 years?
