It is a conspiracy, Bor, and if you watch the "documentary" you hear the usual conspiracy trites:
Metaxas claims that the Greek ministry overseeing archaeology has tried to suppress his claims to maintain the status quo.
Metaxas spends some time explaining how he has been wronged, persecuted, and ridiculed for threatening the monopoly of Big Greek Myth.
He then visits Tzanata tholos tomb, which had been open for tourists but is currently off limits due to what is said to be conservation and restoration work for which Metaxas notes that almost no work has been, but instead he claims that the Greek government and elite archaeologists are conspiring to lock away the tomb to prevent the public from learning that Odysseus was real and buried on Kefalonia so Ithaki can keep collecting Odyssey-themed tourism money.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
