I don't suppose it will inspire the BKWSU to review its historical claims but ... new scientific techniques have refined carbon dating techniques to accuracy within a couple of decades, from the Observer Newspaper.
According to BKWSU, there is no recorded human history prior to 2,500 years ago as between 2,500 years to 5,000 years ago there was a heaven on earth in India ... of which no trace remains ... during which no other continents existed. This would equate to between the years 500 BC to 3,000 BC.

The technique developed by the team is known as Bayesian chronological modelling; it exploits the theorems of the 18th-century mathematician Thomas Bayes to bring new precision to radiocarbon dating of prehistoric samples. In the past, bones or pieces of wood could only be ascribed dates to within a few hundred years. "Now, in many cases, we can date bones or tools with an accuracy of only a couple of decades. That changes everything," said Whittle.
As a result of their successes, Whittle and Bayliss have won a £2m grant from the European Research Council to date neolithic sites across the continent. The aim is to show the technique's power to create precise chronologies of ancient events, as it has for stone-age Britain.
The first farmers arrived in Britain from France and appeared in Kent around 4,050BC. At first, agriculture spread very slowly — by 3,900BC farming had only reached the Cotswolds. Then it went through a period of explosive growth. Within 50 years it had spread across almost all of mainland Britain, reaching as far as Aberdeen. "Presumably a critical mass of farming folk had arrived in Britain while our native hunter-gatherers had seen the game was up and turned to agriculture and a sedentary way of life," said Whittle.
