interesting story, thanks. If you ask the question of what is the oldest text out there, it can get even more complex. There is some controversial evidence that parts of the rig-veda might be as old as 12'000 years (wrong->the iron age!<-wrong) and yet this text itself was put in a written form much later, somewhere in the 4th, 5th or even 6th century. Fascinating, no?
cheers!
