Forget for a moment what the expert who study the present civilization say and try to found out what is behind these present civilization.
You may be very surprised in finding out prehistoric civilization.
And how would that change anything? The temples of Varanasi would still be less than 4000 years old.

The mantras or sound that goes along with the breath are coming from the sanskrit which is more that 7000 years old as well as the svastica which is the yoga symbol.
What more evidence i need?

A lot more, actually.
You'd have to prove your claim that Sanskrit is more than 7000 years old.
Then, given that languages come up with new words and phrases all the time, you'd have to prove that those mantras or sounds have been a part of Sanskrit vocabulary for 7000 years.
Then you'd have to prove an automatic connection between the two, i.e. the practice of yoga would always require that invocation.
Only then you can cite those as evidence of yoga being more than 7000 years old.
The swastika, on the other hand, is not a yoga symbol. They've occurred throughout the world in various antiquities. According to your link - "The swastika, as a symbol, pre-dates the current Holocene era itself, with the earliest known swastika found dating to 10,000 B.C. in the Ukraine, carved on mammoth ivory during the last ice age.". Are you suggesting that people in Ukraine were practicing yoga in 10,000 BC?

It prove that the svastika which is the yoga symbol is at least 7000 years old and the temple in question in which there is the Shivalinga is also 7000 years old so this prove that Shiva lived 7000 years ago.
If you also put the fact that the mantra is the sound or pronunciation of some sanskrit alphabet which is at least 7000 years old then all the factors build up the case.
No they don't.
The swastika link proves that swastika is not a yoga symbol.
There is no actual evidence that The Malleswaram temple is 7000 years old - just speculation. Which means, no evidence that Shiva was worshipped 7000 years ago.
The Sanskrit language itself isn't 7000 years old, so your last statement falls apart as well.
