TvTropes doesn't have anywhere [[ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability near the same degree of notability standards as wikipedia]]. I can include any crackpot I want, so long as it's a valid example (it has been posted somewhere online/hard).

It's an example that pertaining to RealLife rather than a story (making it not a Web Original), therefore it's a statement that belongs in RealLife. Whether it's true or not is not in question, because it's not an example of something that happened (read the example carefully) it's something that someone in real life ''claimed'' happened in real life. For that matter, the ''opposite'' is not 100% true either. We certainly cannot believe that every single piece of archaeological evidence met with complete acceptance. 1. Some archaeological evidence is suppressed, this is true (possibly because it's made by crackpots like this guy), 2. we do have little evidence of what happened before 6000BC. 3. Anything people think is too weird is probably thrown out (What? You think respected archaeologists are gonna find Indiana Jones style craziness, and not even raise an eyebrow?) These claims aren't exactly shocking...

So long as they are not [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment in some way slandering a country, person, or thing]], an example is an example. You may not like it, but that's tough.

Anyway... moving on.

Needs more examples.
