You might find it extremely interesting that the oldest writing we have on record is about some really weird shit! It’s basically about an advanced alien race that lives on a hidden planet in our solar system, who came to Earth to gather resources and that these advanced beings are directly responsible for not only the creation of the human race but also our enslavement.

Think about that for a second.

The oldest writing we have found basically sounds like a sci-fi action movie starring Bruce Willis.

So the oldest writing on record is around 7000 years old and comes from the Sumerian and Babylonian Civilizations of Mesopotamia (This area was known as the fertile crescent and is currently located near modern day Iraq).
Sumer is considered to be the world's first human civilization but this first civilization is anything but primitive. Instead Sumer was an extremely advanced civilization having developed complex laws, mathematics, agriculture, art, astronomy and currency.  Logically this doesn’t make any sense.
