50,000 years ago, that's a long time

The thing about this date is that there were other kinds of people then. There was Neanderthal Man. And the cave art in France is only 30,000 years old. What is the oldest writing, maybe 6000 years? This is going to annoy a lot of people.

Don't forget this piece of pottery from the 9,500year old underwater city found off the coast of India.
