Theories are explanatory frameworks to explain a set of observed facts. The facts don't change, theories are modified to explain new facts.
Newtonian physics (over 400 years old) was not tossed out when Relativity was theorized. Relativity (100 years old) was not tossed out when QM was theorized.
If the antiquity of Judiasm, an antecedent to jesus cult, can be used to inflate the venerability of the jesus cult, then we should count antecedent to Hinduism, found in harappan culture of Indus valley, in calculating the venerability of Hinduism.
When harappan culture is considered, then antecedent of Hinduism predated the antecedent of Jesus cult by at least 2500 years.
In other words, when the Jews first started to consider themselves chosen by their God, Hinduism is already as old, or older, then judiasm is NOW.
