RE "12.5 kA" and other claims -- these claims are based on nothing at all. Once you get past around 3 kA (~1000 BC) all dating methods fail and they rely on layers of detritus to try and date civilizations, estimating that destruction cycled like a clock on the wall.

Notably, the historical record (what people wrote down) from that time does NOT match the archaeological record at all. For instance, the ancient Sumerians spoke of a race of beings that lived 10,000 years and ruled for several thousand years. Do we just ignore what they wrote down because we don't like what they say? Similarly, people who try to turn the Bible into a historical document are approaching everything the wrong way. You might as well believe everything the Greeks and Romans wrote about ancient history if you're going to believe everything written in the Bible as historical fact. So yes, I guess Odysseus was an ancient hero who fought sirens and cyclops.

The "X MA" claims you hear about dinosaurs and stuff is completely made up. "How old is this rock?" "We can tell by what fossils we find around it." "How old is the fossil?" "We can tell by what rocks we find around it." **<-- This is literally how they date things that are millions of years old.**
