You answered your own question, and I'm entitled to respond to that answer.
Yes, you are entitled. I did note that there has been much research done over this point:
Isaac Komnenos was married c. 1110 to Irene, who may have been either:
Kata, a daughter of David IV of Georgia (r. 1089–1125).
the anonymous daughter of Volodar of Peremyshl (r. 1085–1124), known from the Slavonic Primary Chronicle to have married "the son of Emperor Alexios",
But I would still love to see a bloodline that goes back before 500AD that people feel is more certifiable.
That's not in English so unfortunately I have no idea what it says.
No, but you could use the database to search on the same bloodline. The important thing is that it is another genealogy source besides Wikipedia that makes the same connections.
Geni is just a crowd sourced family tree - without reliable/primary sources cited (and they are not in this case), the information can not be confirmed. Every genealogist knows not to take unsourced trees as factual without the right documentation to support it. Your sources are speculative, at best.
There does not appear to be a source for that information though, and Wikipedia can be wrong about these things. For the last few years, I've been working on European royalty lineages and I've come across several flat out errors on Wikipedia, as well as speculative information that can't be confirmed with primary sources. You should always check Wikipedia against a more reliable source, like Medieval Lands - they are much more reliable than Wikipedia. If you have questions, you can contact the author: Foundation for Medieval Genealogy
Sure, but the fact that there's several uncertain links means you can't say with certainly it's the oldest known bloodline.
Exactly... wikipedia isn't a source it's simply an article that may refer other sources, like any article it's only as good as its sources, some are quite excellent others are quite bad.

I only cited Wikipedia for the original question because it was easy to read.
I am still interested in bloodlines that people consider to be among the most reliable that go back to antiquity.
This one is not missing any names, but a lot of dates. It leads from William the Conqueror back to the Roman Empire. Obviously, there are hundreds of thousands of bloodlines from William the Conqueror to Prince William.

I think the better question is what is the oldest of your own blood line that you've traced to?
I got to the 1700 with my mothers fathers line. Hungarian is hard.
I got to the 1486 with my hubs step grandma. Robert Sutton born 1486
My son has some pretty interesting lineage, I started to research what his grandma's sisters son told me. Sir Thomas Greenville 1430-1483 is his 15th great grandfather.

1465 for me, Thomas Fytche: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fytche-5 - Wikitree goes back even further (abt 1404 for the Fytche line, and his wife's line, Algore, goes back to 1355) but I haven't confirmed it yet.
