Roughly about 6,000 years from 2022. To be exact, 5782 years ago the first human being who woke up. His name was Adam. This is common knowledge in the Abrahamic religions.
The myth or story slightly changes depending on which perspective you follow.
Adam was a regular person. Just like you and I. He lived in very interesting times in terms of human development. Just think of the first human to wake up and understand Christ consciousness / ascended master. Writing evolved around that time. The first sailboat agriculture, astrology, astronomy. First growth spurt for humanity and beginning to pursue all kinds of areas: culture, trade, etc..
Note, a few thousand years later, human beings reached their first peak in spirituality.
Why was Adam different?
Adam was different because Adam had something awakened in him. What did he have awakened in him? He had a question. What is the meaning of life? That question led Adam to explore forces in reality that at first were concealed from him, that there was something inside of him that felt that these forces are in potential, at least a door to a different layer of reality. Adam, who lived in that time, was most likely a farmer, like many people in that time. But Adam was different.
