Buddhism’s 18,000 Year Old Secret Teaching

What is the highest teaching in Buddhism that has been kept secret from the public for thousands of years? This teaching is known as Dzogchen, and it is part of Vajrayana Buddhism and the Bon tradition of Tibet. There is a lot of conjecture as to when this teaching originated. Is it possible that it originated 18,000 years ago from the mind of the first Buddha?
