> Mustard as a spice is one of the earliest on record, appearing in Sanskrit manuscripts around 3000 BCE
Citation needed.
Wikipedia [0] has this to say:
> Sanskrit generally connotes several Old Indo-Aryan language varieties. The most archaic of these is the Vedic Sanskrit found in the Rigveda, a collection of 1,028 hymns composed between 1500 BCE and 1200 BCE by Indo-Aryan tribes migrating east from what is today Afghanistan across northern Pakistan and into northwestern India.
I'm interested to know what this manuscript source is that's older than the Vedas.
