What is the oldest metaphysical thought created by man?
From what I understand it is Indian philosophy of the Vedic period.
Any recommended introductory texts?

I mean he's right. Just because it's not recorded and canonized doesn't make it wrong.

I did not mean an single thought or question, but a thought in the sense in which one says "pre-socratic thought."
I won't go into why I suspect that wasn't the "first" "metaphysical" "thought"

Why are you using "thought" for "philosophy"?

no particular reason

What's your native language?
Vedic isn't any older than Avestan, and each are more valuable studied with the other. Both were obviously operating under historic ProtoIndoEuropean thought systems, so the direct answer to your question is that metaphysical questioning begins far before any kind of material or written record
