>Starlight travel time
>We see galaxies millions of light-years away (e.g., Andromeda ≈2.5 million ly). A light-year is how far light travels in one year, so the light leaving those galaxies has been en route for millions of years. We’ve also watched supernovas in the Large Magellanic Cloud (~168,000 ly away): their light started long before 6,000 years ago.
>Annual layers you can count
>Ice cores from Greenland/Antarctica show yearly layers (like tree rings) you can literally count past 100,000+ years, with chemistry and trapped gases matching known volcanic events. Lake varves (annual sediment layers) likewise stack up tens of thousands of years.
>Tree-ring chronologies
>Individual bristlecone pines live ~4,800+ years, and by cross-dating dead wood to living trees (matching ring patterns), dendrochronologists build continuous calendars past 10–12 thousand years. That alone clears the 6,000-year bar.
