"My case is that the historians have rejected those old myths,"
Oh dear
Link us to the proof - refusing to do so only underlines your dishonesty in making this claim
"My case is that the historians have rejected those old myths, and that is why you can not find one who supports them."
Ypou have produced sx historians who you claim (they don't and your refusal to substantiate your case proves it)
These six have all stated that they are set on changing the popular view of history - ie, they are in the minority.
Had they gained enough support for their argument we would have known about it, the teaching of history would have been turned upon its head
You have been given at least a dozen examples of historians sayying the opposite to your gallant little band YOU HAVE REJECTED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM BECAUSE THE AUTHORS ARE DEAD OR BECAUSE THEY ARE "LEFTIES" - SOME OF THE OPPOSITION TO TYOUR CASE COMES FROM YOUR OWN POSTINGS - ONE OF WHICH YOU FELL ON YOUR ARSE TO DISOWN
That said, it would be extremely difficult to find an astronomer argung that the world isn't flat, or made out of green cheese - it is not an issue.
You treat these discussions as competitions and you are incredibly dishonest and extremely stupid in trying to win the prizes
Make your point by proving it, not by claiming that you've made it - you haven't, and if you had you'd b the first to rub our noses in your proof - that's the type of individual you appear to be.
Your "historian" gambit is long blown.
