Ancient Greek history a fraud

You’ve got to read the article offered in the above link.  It would appear that 40 years ago, smart ass scientists collaborated to fake history in a BIG WAY!!!!

the basis of Democracy, Homer, Troy,  ALL OF IT – LIES!!

So I ask, What happens now?

Someone please tell me I’ve jumped the gun and this is a hoax.

You’ll forgive me if I’m skeptical of any potential scientists making comments.

I haven’t stopped by this page in awhile and I know there have been many crazy stories I’ve let slip past.  From the looks of the activity nobody missed anything anyway.
