I've searched and can't find the study I was referring to. They extrapolated the timeline from Biblical stories and the result was around 3,000 BC. Google sucks now, it keeps showing me crap it thinks I want to see and not what I am actually looking for.

Is civilization older? It is for sure, the aborigines have stories of giant animals that died out long before "civilization."
