You're mistaken. There is a sizable amount of extant Akkadian, Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, and Chinese literature from well before when the TaNaK was written. In fact of each of those languages have a sum of extant literature that surpasses, in volume, the largess of writing in the Bible.

You've misinterpreted what I'm saying.

Again, the article stated a simple truth: the DSS are "some of the oldest surviving documents on earth."

That is a factually true statement.

The parent commenter objected to this statement. I corrected him.

Now you are trying to correct me by saying there is a some surviving literature from before the Bible was written. I've made no claim otherwise.
