The oldest written Document?

[PapaToad]

Does anyone know of what the oldest record written document ever discovered is? I would like to get a link to this information. We have discussions about young earth and old earth all the time.

I thought I had read once that the oldest written document is under thousand years old. If this is true then it opens another can of worms, which would lend credit to a “young Earth Theory” but that’s in my humble opinion. Which I can get into later once someone can help me find the oldest written document.

Can anyone help me with this??

You need to help me here.

By written do you mean like in stones somewhere or do you mean on paper?

But, I do have this..

Link to History of the Written Word

I suppose I mean a written language, not pictograms or symbols, but, a written language designed specifically to communicte intellegent thought of recorded data with a date tied to it. ( I am not looking for cave man drawings) A book, a letter , laws written in stone like the greek laws were.
