The 1100s is when an Italian merchant made up a story about the “eye of the needle” being a gate in Jerusalem that a camel could juuuuuuust about squeeze through if the owner bowed their head or something.

It is, but it’s not any older, which is one of the reasons it’s clearly made up. No one talked about it for over 1000 years then suddenly a guy with something to gain suddenly knows this “fact” about a place he’s never been, and no one else outside of his vicinity can remember it.
