There are date-times embedded in the block headers in bitcoin... although they are not enforced by the protocol, they are generally trusted to be at least "ballpark" accurate (i.e. well within 1 day accuracy)... it's also possible to inspect the entire blockchain from the block in question until today to make sure the date-times are monotonically increasing
