Your statement there is false... Vedic (Indian/Hindu) Cosmology describes the lifespan of the universe as 311 trillion 40 billion years. According to the texts we are about half-way through this current universe. That puts the age of the Universe according to the Vedas as 150 trillion years. That's significantly more than anyone has ever stated. Note that this is the oldest complete cosmology known to man.
Interestíngly, the last sub-creation happened around 6 billion years ago according to these texts, which agrees perfectly with scientific measurement of the age of our solar system. Just for reference, this is done using Uranium dating methods. It's quite a simple technique and I've done the calculations and measurements myself.
