And..... the stones that would seem to be older.... and layed down before those of the culture that created the Abrahamic diety..... Like, oh lets say, the people that inhabited the Nile river system for some EDIT: six or so thousand years?
Just curious to know your point of veiw.
6,000 years is the limit, and that dates back to Adam and Eve. Anything beyond the 6,000 number is junk science based on assumptions and unreliable dating methods.
