Oldest noodles unearthed in China

From a BBC website:

The remains of the world's oldest noodles have been unearthed in China.

The 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood.

Radiocarbon dating of the material taken from the Lajia archaeological site on the Yellow River indicates the food was about 4,000 years old.

No, I am not talking about noodles.

Continuing,

Professor Houyuan Lu said: "Prior to the discovery of noodles at Lajia, the earliest written record of noodles is traced to a book written during the East Han Dynasty sometime between AD 25 and 220, although it remained a subject of debate whether the Chinese, the Italians, or the Arabs invented it first.

"Our discovery indicates that noodles were first produced in China," the researcher from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, explained to BBC News.

Well so we think.

Until someone else discover some older noodles somewhere else.

Really we never will know who invented noodles and when.

My point here is that we do not know what we do not know.

What we know is only what we know.

Truth is more than what we know, or even knowable to us.

What we know can only reveal falsehood but not fully uncover the truth.
