There is also the Gobekli Tepe site which is dated as far back as 9000-8000 BCE.
Jericho and Damascus have been around for that long too.
In Jericho, as many as 70 dwellings have being found, hence already a modest town, as early as 9400 BCE. Each dwelling was circular (plan) in construction, and the use of mud-bricks (made from clay and straw) were known to be used around this time.
And that not even the most amazing thing about this pre-pottery Neolithic people. Stone wall under 4 metres high were discovered, possibly surrounding this small town.
So I find it utter nonsense that thief and billiardsball here think man have only ground for 6000 years (4000 BCE).
The city of Uruk, which some translations of the bible, called it Erech in Genesis 10, supposedly built by Nimrod, great grandson of Noah, after the Flood. But Uruk predated the Sumerian civilisation by 3000 earlier (Sumerian civilisation began in 3100 BCE), but it truly flourished during 4th millennium BCE (known as Uruk period, 4000 to 3200 BCE). The earliest temples were constructed in two districts of Uruk, about 3500 BCE - Enanna district and Anu district. These two temple districts were dedicated to the goddess Inanna (Babylonian Ishtar) and An (Babylonian Anu), respectively.
If a global flood had occurred, then these two deities should have cease to exist, replace by new new culture in the post flood era, and yet these two gods, not only predated the Sumerian civilisation, but continued to be worshipped as late 1st century CE.
Similarly, in Egypt, the Neolithic predynastic culture (3400 - 3100 BCE) predated the Bronze Age Egyptian culture, (beginning around 3100 BCE) and yet the art work of early dynastic period (dynasties 1 & 2) were culturally or artistically the same as the late predynastic culture. And the dynastic Egypt began when a ruler united Upper Egypt with Lower Egypt, around 3100 BCE. And pyramid building began in the 3rd dynasty.
Any flood of the magnitude (a global flood) that Genesis and some Christian believers (particularly creationists) claimed, then that should have wiped out civilisations, like from Sumer and Egypt, at exactly same time, and yet neither cultures were replace by new ones.
Because this break in culture never occurred, then any belief in Noah flood is clearly false.
But the question is when creationists, like thief or billiardsball, believe this global Flood had occurred?
The Flood couldn't occur in the Neolithic period, because that would throw all the years in the Old Testament into chaos, and push fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE and Jesus' ministry back into the Bronze Age, where Nebuchadnezzar II, Herod and Augustus didn't exist.
