To prove my point that the temples you were referring to couldn't be older than that - you see how this works, I make a claim and I provide evidence to back it up. Now you try it.

Even if there was, and there is no evidence that there is, the temples of Varanasi would still be less than 4000 years old - if that.

Different cultures build up different things so you can not really compare Varanasi with NY or LA.
Non-sequitur.

You haven't been able to prove that so far. But do keep trying.

Ofcourse not - because he didn't exist. But he is a religious figure which makes all thins related to him religious things.
