I hate to be negative, but no ;-)

UNIX/Linux only keep ctime, atime and mtime.  ctime is the time the
file inode was last changed.  atime is the time the file was last
accessed.  mtime is the time the contents of the file were last
modified.

You can see all these attributes with the stat command.
