The cave paintings at Lascaux are around 20,000 years old. They are the record of a people that lived and flourished at that time. The oldest "writing" currently known are some tortoise shells that date to 8,600 years ago found in China.
Since they are older than your 6,000 years, that's a problem. Another often overlooked problem is that they are the product of a human civilization that isn't even known or mentioned in the "Table of Nations" in
Genesis 10.
