I stepped in a history discussion again!

It sounds like he made it up, but I'm going by the information in this thread. I only know that there is a history of history being presented as historically accurate, later being found to have been partly made up or produced by unintentional blindness. Same goes for some of the archeology over here in the States. I'm not a historian, and I do not intend this to be a criticism of historians or the process of interpreting history.
