THIS TEN?
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain
3. Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day
4. Honor your father and your mother
5. You shall not kill
6. You shall not commit adultery
7. You shall not steal
8. You shall not bear false witness
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's goods
Show me this list earlier and elsewhere than the Hebrew bible.

The golden rule as it appears throughout the Old Testament does predate the WRITTEN bible and was practiced by God's people long before the words ever appeared in print form.
You are confusing the age of the printed bible with the periods of time written ABOUT in the bible which happened long before.
