Depends on your definition of "oldest document in the world".

There are Sumerian merchant tablets written in cuneiform, dating back to 2700 BC.

Are you looking for literature?

well
I want like a kind of letter, in other words is it is good when there are word in the document.
and it is the best if there is a date on the document.
Thanks

So you want a printed document.

Any particular type?

Your choice of:

Papyrus, parchment, paper.

Obviously now we've X'ed out: marble, stone, terracota and the like.

A great source is here:

hmm...
I need some kind of the pic that will show the acual document with a date there..

Date?

If you want a date, you are most likely looking for a document written anytime between 200 AD and today.

Do a search for "modern calendar" and "oldest printed document".
