Funny thing about eyewitness testimony. It's nearly completely useless: http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/01/p...committed/
I really see no reason to give any credence to the local tales of a particular Iron Age tribe, especially as they're told by people who weren't actually there to witness the events themselves, and who have a clear reason to make the figure upon whom their religion rests appear to be remarkable.
Again, just because something is written in the Bible doesn't mean it's true. Similarly, just because some things kinda sorta match up doesn't mean that the rest is true. I mean, there was a real Troy... do you think Zeus and the other Greek gods played a hand in it?
