The oriental orthodox,eastern orthodox and roman catholic churches all started when various apostles spread mainly the middle east and eastern Europe.
Soon the churches started to split the oriental orthodox then eastern orthodox and catholics together.
Its hard to say when oriental orthodox started because it consists of several apostolic churches in communion which each other all founded at different times by different apostles

That's a bit difficult to explain. There was one church called 'The Catholic Orthodox church" it split into Orthodox and Catholic. However there are two Orthodox churches which both preserve the ancient teachings and traditions of the original church. Except have a different view of the divintiy of christ. The Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox church believes that christ has two natures but united while the Eastern Orthodox church believes that chirst has two natures but seperate. However,they both are the original church and have not changed the apostolic traditions. So the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches are equally old since they were both founded by one of the apostles,however the Orthodox church stayed true to the original churches beliefs and traditions. But they became referred to as "Orthodox" in 451 AD (Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox) and in 1054 (Eastern Orthodox)
