Although t is known as Pythagoras' theorem and thus about 2500-2600 years old, considering Pythagoras lived between 5th and 6th century BC, it was known before this.

There is evidence that the Babylonians of 20th to 16th century BC (some 1000 years before Pythagoras) knew it, making it about 3600-4000 years old.
