I am sorry I didn't qualify my statement but I am from Eastern Europe. So we learned about it quite early.
I was being sneaky a little but the point was that when it come to "the oldest artifact...X", the "earliest...Y" it should be something that is taught and studied world-wide.
The downside is that we didn't study much American history, or at least not as much as I would have liked.
And I'm sorry I'm apparently so culturally myopic that the thought that you could've said what you said because you were actually from Eastern Europe didn't even occur to me.
