I read in science books and national geographics that :
A - Oldest life form on earth is a tree in California at approximately 4500 years of age.
B - The oldest life form in the waters is a coral reef off the coast of Australia which is about 4500 years old.
C - Archeologists claim that the oldest evidence of money is from 4500 years ago.
D - There is no evidence that languages were evolved, but they all appear to have started in complex form about 4500 years ago in Middle East area.
E - The oldest desert on earth is the Sahara in Africa witch is calculated at 4500 years of age.
F - Niagara falls is claimed to be 4500 years old by some geologists.
G - The thick ice layers of the North Pole are claimed to be 4500 years old and not as initially calculated over millions of years.
H- There are thousands of frozen Mammoths found in Siberia who were only in about 4500 years dept of ice.
Is there a connection here?
What happened 4500 years ago on earth?

God created the earth
However I would check your facts again
In 10,000BC, Jericho, the oldest known city, was built in the Middle East. Three separate settlements have existed at or near the current location for more than 11,000 years. The position is on an east-west route north of the Dead Sea.
money may have been developed 4500 years ago but archaeologists have not found everything there is to find.

Here is the deal with scientific "facts".. A couple of months ago it was a "fact" that our solar system held nine planets. Then one day they claimed it had twelve, and then they changed it a few days later. Facts are not absolute, they are relative to the particular scientist who discovers them (and the needs and wants of the people who fund those scientists).
Also, if you have seen the movie An Inconvenient Truth, you will see how fast ice, earth, temperature, etc. change. Don't put too much weight into any one theory or "fact".

These are random things that seem to have no relation to each other. This is a completely circumstantial list of things. You could get another list of things that could be around 1000 years old, or 10,000 years old. It doesn't mean anything "happened" at that time. Only when a significant amount of similar events happen can you effectively ask "what happened at this time on earth". A good example is that a lot of dinosaurs appear to have gone extinct at the same time (65 Millions years ago). This would be a case where it is intelligent to ask "what happened?"

These are just approximate values and, at the most, coincedences.
Ice Age ended about 10,000 years ago with flooding and stuff like that following. This is a much more important number for our planet than 4,500 years ago.
Although, I must say that if your numbers are correct it's an interesting point you are making.

Probably a lot of geological changes that made dissapear a lot of prior evidence and fossils making it harder to find something older.
