Time, natural elements, and other forces have erased most of the early art from the Earth, so we may not ever know for certain what was the first piece of art ever created.

Prehistoric art was produced before writing, so no one created written records of the first pieces ever created.

Scientists have already determined that cave paintings are the oldest pieces of art ever created, so it cannot be a sculpture.

Sculptures were not created until the late 18th century once the technology was available.

To best support your argument against Kiara's assertion that the first piece of art ever created was a sculpture, you could say:

"Time, natural elements, and other forces have erased most of the early art from the Earth, so we may not ever know for certain what was the first piece of art ever created."

This response acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding early art and highlights that we cannot definitively say what the first piece was.
