Normally the,Rig Veda is taken to be the oldest literary work of Mankind and it is Dated around 5000 years back. I do not agree with this as Ramayana is dated at 5114 and Ramayana and Puranas,which are earlier to Ramayana quote Vedas. It is further confounded by the fact that Ramayana is mentioned in the Vedas. (This is where the Time as Cyclic comes into play)
