Troy is real. They found it The Hittite records refer to it as Wilusa and the Myceneans as Ilios.
Thats what I said.
“...or any of the other imaginary places that have now been found to be real.”
Just like Atlantis IS real still, at least its ruins are, somewhere.
Its just a matter of finding it.
That allegory nonsense is was something made up to show how incredibly educated someone was by showing that they knew Egypt was the first advanced civilization and to distance themselves from the likes of Donnelly.
Just as catastrophism was rejected for unscientific reasons until academia was forced to accept it.
We now know that Egypt was not the first and even
Göbekli Tepe which is much older was not the first as the site is obviously a transfer of technology.
Other fields have advanced enough and made enough discoveries that some of the previously supposed rock solid scientific facts that underlie the previous rejection of Atlantis are now questioned.
It is only a matter of time before Atlantis, like other “imaginary” places that have been proven to be true, must be accepted as factual.
Science progresses one funeral at a time
