'Journal of the Two Sisters' establishes that Celestia and Luna are older than the Principality of Equestria itself. They are contemporaries of Princess Platinum, the leader of the unicorn tribe from the Hearth's Warming play. That there wasn't an alicorn born in the history of Equestria, and that Celestia and Luna were themselves born as alicorns, are by no means contradictory.
