As for “historical documentation” and Archeological discoveries, they like anything can often be interpreted in whatever way the person doing the interpretation wants.
let me tell you an old joke about that
While digging a Hole in New York workers found an old pice of copper wire and called in an Archeologist and an Historian after examining the wire and the depth it was found at the Team announced that it was a Telephone cable and that NY had telephones in the Late 1800s.
Shortly after that a team in LA discovered a data cable and announced that LA had internet in the Lat 1800.
not to be outdown, Bubba a Farmer and amature Archeologist and Historian was out in the back forty digging a deep hole and found absolutly NOTHING. The next Day he announced that Hazard Georgia was using Wireless internet in the late 1800s.
