I’d get my stone from far in the future, then bury it in the past, so if they date it they’ll be like…“this is from 10 million years after today, that doesn’t make any sense.”
Plis, you could start a new conspiracy. Instead of “The Earth is only 6000 years old”, you can be all “The Earth is actually MUCH older, what is science hiding???”
iirc carbon dating wouldn’t really work since that’s for organic material specifically. But instead of the age of the statue being the main point of concern, I can do you one better. If you make it out of some kind of alloy that doesn’t occur in nature, it would further indicate that something has far more advanced knowledge than the era would ever permit. Also, I’m pretty sure that because of nuclear testing putting specific elements into the atmosphere, a lot of materials carry some form of these trace elements, which would indicate knowledge of atomic weapons! (though idk if this would still be a thing or not after thousands of years of the statue being exposed to the elements)
You need it to be propery aged for carbon dating and shit.
How old does carbon need to be before you can legally date it?
Asking for a friend.
At least 18 Billion Years.
Atoms don’t age. They don’t mature, and they don’t change with time. Unstable isotopes decay at random, but the decay probability never changes.
So you can legally date carbon that’s 0 years old, if you find any. Most carbon will be much older than you.
How do you know how old all of my carbon is?
I mean, my friend’s carbon?

Maximum confusion!
