Find a trace of DNA, SOMETHING that actually ties down what this book says to anything you say happened. It doenst exist. The romans kept VERY good records, and there is no record of this ever happening.
Setting aside that finding any of those things today would prove nothing, 99.9% of history of events and people is conveyed in writing. You don't know what someone did, thought, said, believed by archaeology. Also, 99.99% of all historical documents do not survive. Here's a question, how many references to Hannibal are their that were dated within his lifetime. Do you believe Hannibal did the things ascribed to him? Why? We don't have any "REAL world evidence".
Some of the REAL WORLD evidence:

One should *always* consider written material skeptically until supported by physical evidence.
