How can you frame a paper from 1965 as "very old" when the linked article is about Grothendieck, who started his math PhD in 1950 (and presumably studied math before that)?

The very very old solution I'm adverting to is Euclid's axioms. They don't define what "point" or "line" means, they just specify some axioms about them.
