    Idk, egyptian priests kept records of the groundwater levels to predict the nile flood times to keep the peasants in check, and that could count as a climate dataset that far predates and is longer than this.

      Do floods correlate well with the climate there, or are they affected by something else, too? If they are not much affected, then that could be a dataset indeed

        Indeed they could, any core sample of the earth could, and long has, been a record of climatic conditions.
