Sorry, I definitely disagree that we have reliable written records from 6000 or even 3000 years ago; the former pre-dates writing in general, and the latter has huge gaps, depending on what you're studying (who, exactly, were the Sea Peoples?)
We really only start to get reliable records only in the Middle Ages in Europe, slightly earlier in other civilizations (even then there wil be gaps, depending on which Chinese emperor goes on a book-burning binge). So yeah, 3000 is still an "Age of Myth" especially when you consider the Trojan War occurred during this period...
