Also, does it make sense that approx. 46,000 years would pass with no evidence for written language, and then starting around 3400-3200 BC there is evidence? In all of that time, wouldn't some kind of written language be found had it been in existence? |

Doesn't make sense to me either. I'll stick with the Biblical time scale. |
