But that by itself doesn't serve as evidence that Mid-Child style is as old as the others, or that Mid-Childa was a power to itself alongside the old empires.
Raising Heart's age, however,
would.

As for the manga, it doesn't necessarily matter to the main 'verse--the movie manga itself is an alternate reality from the movie, which in itself is an alternate reality (or a movie, if you accept the Megami soundstages as canon) to the anime.

The events of the movie and especially the movie-manga play out differently, but there's nothing in the original continuity to suggest that the backstories aren't exactly the same.
Working on the assumption that the movie is an in-universe movie pieced together from eye-witness testimonies, why wouldn't Raising Heart's origins be the same?
Therefore, if the translation is correct, Yuuno found a lost Mid-Child style Intelligent Device in a ruin that was old enough for an archaeologist to search through. Old enough that the Device wasn't considered the rightful property of the modern Mid-Childan military.
