The French Revolution happened. But a Tale of Two Cities is still fiction.
Atlanta burned during the Civil War. Gone With The Wind is still fiction.
See a pattern?
If in the future other evidence was destroyed and all we had left about the Civil war was Gone with the Wind, we could still learn a great deal about it from there. You ever read Marco Polo? That's an invaluable historical document that's mostly madeup horsecrap. Even things like Christopher Columbus's Journal is mostly made up shit. That's just how documents in the anicient world worked. Its not the modern world and holding ancient evidence to that standard is the main reason that Mythisists aren't taken seriously. If they dropped that I think the movement would gain more traction.
