    Good question. I would venture somewhere in the 3,000--5,000 year old range.

    His age is usually depicted a bit inconsistently.

    Different writers, different stories, a few that conflict with each other. In some stories we have an adult and mature Thor around in ancient Egypt, but some other stories, he is young and brash in 1000 AD. From what I remember a Ragnarok happened around 4000 years ago. The type that reset the cast of Asgardians. Then again the process of creating Mjolnir supposedly killed the dinosaurs as well, 65 million years ago. Throw in the whole Ragnorak cycle and mystical/mythological nature of Thor and I reckon anyone (writers included) could make up their own answer (provided its closer to being "old" than "young") and be right, naturally accepting that other people could assert other answers and also be right too.

    I'd personally agree with the above answers, around 4000 to 2000 years old as far as current and familiar Thor.

    Current Thor is probably 3000-5000 year old. But Asgard has went through many Ragnaroks so he's probably millions of years old.

    THOR 2 states they only live for 3,000 years. so he must be under at least 3,000 years.

    I'd say 1500 years or so going by the current run.

    @thorson: Im pretty sure they said 5000. So since he looks like 30 in human years i'll say 2000, maybe 2100 or 2200.

    ''The first time I remember laying eyes upon Midgard...the people still lived in caves and fought one another with stones and sticks''

    The Stone Age is a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make implements with a sharp edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted roughly 3.4 million years, and ended between 6000 BCE and 2000 BCE with the advent of metalworking
