Vedas have been in verbal form for least 32, 000 BC in India. The city of Dwarka is at least that old and 3 Vedas were before that. Upanishads are selected Mantras from Vedas. Upnishads deal with God as unmanifest in every being. Ancient India was first in language, Yoga, Mathematics, and Science. It had first world universities as early as 500 BC namely: Takshila and Nalanda. International Students dispersed its knowledge in their homelands. E.g., Baudhayana Sutra became Pythagorean theorem.

In the beginning..-Rig Veda (10.129.1)
The non-existent was not then,
Nor was the existent,
The earth was not, nor the firmament,
Nor that which is beyond,
(When there was nothing then), what could cover what,
And where and in whose care did the waters and bottomless deep then exist?

Time and Space...Atharva Veda (19.53.3)
The whole of this Universe is stationed in the Omnipresent,
and the Omnipotent God.
We see Him in various forms,
He brings to light all these worlds.
Him they call the Kala (Time), Infinite, Pervading the Infinite Space.

In the beginning.. Rig Veda (10.21.1)
In the beginning there was neither nought nor aught.
Then there was neither sky nor atmosphere above,
What then enshrouded all this universe ?
In the receptacle of what was it contained ?
Then was there neither death nor immortality,
Then was neither day nor night, nor light, nor darkness,
Only the Existent one breathed calmly self contained.

Eesh Upnishad, Yajur Veda (22.5)
This moves, This moves not.
This is far, and this is near.
This is inside and this is outside of everything.

Mantras From Mahabharat (Bhagvad Gita Section)
This never takes birth and this never dies. This is never created. It is oldest and
never born. This doesn't die even if the body dies.
Just as a person changes clothes, this leaves weak bodies and goes into a new
one.
This cannot be cut by weapons. This cannot be burnt by fire. This cannot be
wetted by water and this cannot be evaporated by air.
