The archeological finds, the temples in South India confirm this view.

The other reliable tools include Astronomy,Carbon Dating,Etymology and of course Archeology.
The Arunachala Mountain in Tamil Nadu, this is also called Thiruvannamalai.
This mountain is referred to in the Puranas, a quote is provided below.
The Ithihasas, Ramayana and Mahabharata are old, they quote the Puranas, which are older.

Skanda Purana on Thiruvannamalai.
‘Geological experiments in and around Tiuvannamalai have revealed that the rock (charnokite) which makes up Arunachala covering is older than 3.5 billion years old ( Geological Survey of India) and
Banded Iron formations around Tiruvannamalai area are thought to be about 3 billion years old.
(Mineralogy and chemistry of banded iron formations (BIF) of Tiruvannamalai area, Tamil Nadu,Journal of Earth System Science,Volume 98, Number 2 / July, 1989.)
It is thus evident that even scientific conclusions do place Arunachala Age to be beyond 3.5 billion years and perhaps the range would be 4.4 to 3.5 billion years old.
