The world is not more than 6000years old

Ignoramus spotted.. The world is over millions of years old humanity only started documenting history in books and ancient scripts 6000yrs ago.. Stop bringing facts from your Bible sir, the ability to speak doesn't mean you are intelligent

You just smashed his head with a bottle of double 3.

That's all.

After all counseling the doubtful and instructing the ignorant is a spiritual work of mercy after all.

So, you want to know how they arrived at the most likely/probable ages of these cities... you see, they didn't throw up figures for the fun of it- habour no doubts about that.

The whole thing took a lot of research and meticulousness. First, when you want to determine how old are particular city is, you have to go to extent of examining ancient texts(that is writings by men who lived thousands of years) and there you will sometimes find where such cities were mentioned then with a little maths and calculations here and there, you will be able to arrive at an estimate as to how old that particular city is.

Another method is oral traditions. That is, history passed from generation to generation by word of mouth. That is history which is largely unwritten.

Then there is a third method, which is far more reliable to varying degrees than the other two which I have mentioned- and that, is a firm technology called "(radio)Carbon dating"(in layman's terminology).

How does radiocarbon dating work. It is simple. Sometimes, you see all these archaeologists excavating and digging all over the place and sometimes you might be forced to assume that they are "mad". But in reality, they are not. They are as a matter of fact, looking for clues. These clues might come in the former of ancient artefacts such as cups, wine glasses, coins, clothes and things like that. Once they dig up these things, they pass them through carbon dating tests in order to find out how old these things are. They answer that they get from conducting such tests also go a long way in determine how long a particular city has been inhabited.

I just had to explain it to you in the simplest way possible and I hope it helps.

Besides, there are other scientific methods asides radiocarbon dating that can also be deployed in determining these things.

You don't have to be contemptuous, that you think you know, doesn't mean you're right!
And having all that bag of supercilious hubris, doesn't really make you cosmology savvy.
