...The find came from a 3,200-year-old palace on the island of Salamis, near Athens, Greece, which belonged to the mythical King Ajax, Lolos said on Wednesday, March 29, 2006. The hilltop site overlooks a small natural harbor.

Beautiful location for a palace.

...Hieroglyphs spelling the name of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II appear at the bottom of a bronze piece from an ancient mail shirt...

...and with the chronology of Egypt based on nothing more than the king-list of Manetho (before hieroglyphs were understood) there's an 800 year discrepancy in any dating based on Egyptian chronolgy...as I understand it.

This location may not be correct either. :’) But yeah, the pseudochronology carries a big burden of proof, and is always found wanting. The historicity of the Trojan War has been doubted (in part) because of the reliance on the pseudochronology, and this has largely been due to what passes for scholarship in the UK (beginning in earnest with Arthur Evans). The clear and obvious references to events and people related to the Trojan War of legend were found in cuneiform tablets translated by Emil Forrer and only in the past twenty years have these begun to gain traction. :’)
