I Am a Piece of Stone

I am challenged to prove 
That my knowledge and wisdom are not fakes   
By the books written by scholars eminent and ordinary 
I say, nay, you are all wrong 
I know something that the entire mankind knows not 
Nor knows the plants kingdom nor the animal species 
I know some secrets 
Which the entire books of the world cannot hold 
Now you may think something I misinterpret 
Or I am heavily misinformed 
But this is not the case 
I have checked and rechecked and find the same result 
I know what i know is solidly concrete
I know the state of the word much before the living world 
Came to live 
On this soil upon this earth 
May be you are itching to know who am I? 
I am the page of the book of nature 
In another name I am called simply stone.
