Forgive my ignorance but can't they just do carbon dating or an I misunderstanding the concept?

How is it discovered if they been around for centuries? Doesn't that mean, first time western eyes seen it?

It's almost like stone doesn't have carbon in it to lend itself to carbon dating.

Why couldn't the first ones have been done 5K years ago, and every so often, somebody decided to add one, up until 2K years ago?

MadHakon
But... what if someone carved the newer iterations with a weathered pattern similar to the older ones?
