It's difficult to estimate the time difference between the two games. Taking your example of our world, it's not the length of time that is important in why we don't have substantial records of 5,000-10,000 years ago, but rather that humans have had huge advancements in how we chronicle our past and present. You can't really compare the Dark Souls universe to our world in this regard, since it is more of a perpetually medieval fantasy realm where it appears that most things are relayed orally, and where kingdoms are destroyed and built anew over and over, likely destroying any written records in the process.
