US does have a 10,000 old history, just not as a nation or as a continuous civilization. Their native american civilization was almost wiped out.
India is a continuous civilization with documented history and past that goes much beyond what the cave painting depict.
This rock art depicts five horse riders hunting a giraffe.
Giraffe being a semi-desert open forest animal could have survived in Central India only up to before 5,500 BC. Thereafter the region became dense forest making giraffe extinct. Clearly horse taming and riding on the horse existed before 5,500 BC or 6000 BC in India.
So did forged weapons.
Similarly this painting depicts a Elk and Elk hunting.
However Elk do not exist in India today.
Elk lives in dry cold regions with grasses and enough water from rivers or lakes to drink. Such climate existed in Central India about 8000 BC to 5000 BC during the Holocene.
However one sub-species of Elk is still found in Kashmir till today, known as the hangul or Cervus canadensis hanglu.
The elk bones have been excavations at Mohenjo-Daro by Sir John Marshall.
Maybe you would like to use your brain to come up with a different explanation ? Like Aliens did it.
America has natural history for millions of years old.
America has history over 10,000 years old.
America have different cultures over 10,000 years old.
America don't have a civilization over 10,000 years old.
India is not a continuous civilization over 10,000 years old.
Lots of, and lots of cultures, civilizations rose in subcontinent and died or gave way to new civilization.
Subcontinent was never a single nation. Subjugation and integration through military action for brief periods is not a signe of single nation.
IVC, Septa-Sindhu, Mahajanpada, Bharata-versha etc etc. all represented different lands at different time period over long history of subcontinent.
Only when British subjugated different states, nationalities, tribes and all these identified with nomenclature, Indian.
Before that no single nationality was agreed up in India. All were at each others throats before that, with no sense of 'united nationhood' or any concept remotely akin to it.
Further, Giraffe was not found in subcontinent in 5500 B.C.; old ancestral animals of Giraffe Family, may had populated the western subcontinent some 5-7 Million years ago. You are making a fairly tale with all of this.
And, dear, horse is not native to indian subcontinent.
