Captured language at a primordial time......600ad-ish?
We'd already been writing for four thousand years at that point Mystic. Civilization itself was ten thousand years old at that point. Human beings identical to you and I had been wandering around for -at least- fifty thousand years by that point.
I'm having fun with this idea. If the span of time since full modernity (a drop in the bucket of time, really) were conceptualized as a calendar- and today was December 31st on that calendar: Islam was invented ten days ago, on December 21st.
I would have expected something "primordial" to be a wee bit closer to january.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
