Whats the first recorded moment in history?

Answer 1

We don’t know.
We only know the oldest recorded moments of history which have been DISCOVERED so far.
That would be cave paintings in Europe (from around 30’000 - 15’000 BC).
Or if you want to accept a mother figure as a recorded moment (namely as a moment from which we can say: somebody was aware enough of the importance of a mother as to take the time to carve an image of a mother’s body), then it would be roughly 25’000 years ago (Venus from Willendorf, in Austria)
You are welcome!

Answer 2

It's impossible to pinpoint the first recorded moment, but the caves of Lascaux in France are very, very old, far older than the bible (30,000 bce, if memory serves). They're records of hunts, or possible even target practice for young hunters. Even though we'll never be sure WHAT was recorded, the fact is that it was created for a purpose, so that makes it a recorded moment in history.

Answer 3

Paintings of men and animals date back 36,000 years.

Writing (a symbolic representation of language), may be as old as 8,600 years (from objects with writing found in China dating to 6,600 BCE), but was independently invented in numerous places around the world many times, and was firmly established in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East between 5,400 and 4,700 years ago (between 3,400 BCE and .2,700 BCE).

The bible was supposedly only written between 3,400 and 2,100 years ago (between 1,400 and 100 BCE), but the oldest known biblical writings date from 442 CE (or 442 AD to most people). There is no actual writing or artifact of the bible dating earlier than that.

That makes the bible pretty new, just about 200 years newer than the Koran.

Of course, the bible says that it was written earlier, but who can believe that? The dating of an artifact should not depend on the chapter that says this is a copy of a copy of a copy. But even if you believe the bible, it is still a very recent document, and cannot be considered for even a very old document.

Answer 4

With no offense to anyone, (religious context aside) certainly you can imagine this,,,and others have suggested it.

"OG" has just returned from hunting and gathering. Mrs. OG waits at the cave entrance, as others of the "clan" gather to witness what OG has returned with. He happens to have made a successful kill that day.

In the clamor and the chaos however, OG isn't heard very well above the excited din of the "tribe" so he goes to the cave wall, some form of marking substance in hand, and as the tribe calms down, he "Draws" while he explains the events of HIS day.

As he relates the tale, he shows off some scratches, likely embellishes his story to create awe about him being such a great hunter, and all can smell the "Roast Beast" Mrs. OG has begun tending, on the communal fire.

Answer 5

It certainly depends upon what you mean by "recorded". If it is drawing, I'm sure some cave drawings in France or Africa predate anything "biblical". If you're talking about writing, I'm sure sanskrit writings, heiroglyphics, and sumerian writing predate anything "biblical". If you're talking voice recording, I believe Alexander Graham Bell's recording of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was the first thing put to "record."

So...to what sort of recording are your referring?

Answer 6

Caves of Lascaux, France. 15,000 years ago. Before the Earth was created, accorrding to fundies. Interesting theories as to the exagerated images from drug use to being disoriented from living in those caves.

Bible is what 6,000, right.

Answer 7

The Bible is considered having the oldest recorded events.
Whether a person believes what it says, it is very old.
