It depends on whether certain ancient artifacts found more recently are deemed to be true "written language" or not
There have been sketches on 60,000 year old egg shells, though it is not yet viewed as legitimate written language.
# Jiahu Script, symbols on tortoise shells in Jiahu, ca. 6600 BC
# Vinča script (Tărtăria tablets), ca. 5300 BC[6]
# Early Indus script, ca. 3500 BC
- also under debate
Symbols have been found dating back to 30k years ago and some evidence of 7k year old writing exists as well
We don't really know for sure but research and time will continue to expand current knowledge and dating methods should certainly improve as well.
Put it this way, only a century or so ago, it was commonly believed there was no authentic well developed writing system at all before around 1500 B.C.! They were wrong, and we are no doubt still to find earlier writing.
