I ask MCalavera, you can too!

I got it! Scrap what i said above.

1961 is upside down still 1961. So more than 4000 years later (a few years after 5961) is 6699 (upside down it's still 6699).

correct

I had to cheat for the first one:

The gems are
Amethyst
Emerald (Emerald city - Wizard of OZ)
Ruby
Pearl (From inside oyster shell)
Diamond
Tiger's eye
Cubic Zirconium (Fake diamond)
Black Opal
Taking the first letter of Amethyst, second of Emerald etcetera gives
Ambrosia - The food of the gods.

Well, duh. They could've just asked what the favorite food for the Greek gods was, and I would've answered it with ease.

ok,  next one

You can see it, but you can't touch it.
It may disappear, but has never really left you.
It grows throughout the day. What is it?

Got it. It's the shadow.

That answer is inaccurate. Depending on how you write digits, 2002 may have been such a year. At least, 6119 satisfies your requirements, and comes earlier than 6699.

Hmmm, you do make a good point there. Why didn't I see that?

[bodie]

It cannot be seen, can not be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelled.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

No way could you write a 2 that still looks like a 2 upside down unless you made it look like a Z or a backwards S.

If you made a 5 that looked like an S, then 5005 would work as well.

BTW, 6009 is even sooner than 6119.

Why don't we have a nodding smiley for situations like this?

Do you know what a seven-segment display is? It's a simple electronic display that has elevated a system of forming digits. A "2" in this system has rotational symmetry.

You are correct about 6009.

MCalavera and I are currently discussing it by PM.

You'll know once I finally get it right, Semicolon.
