Oral history is significantly more accurate than you’re making it out to be.
There is no reason to assume oral history with no corroborating evidence is true and the lack of corroborating evidence is good reason to be skeptical.
The entire Bible is oral history. I assume you don’t place similar validity in the Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel.
I didn’t say that oral history is 100% accurate. I said it’s more accurate than you assume, which based on what you said seemed to be “it’s all made up.”
which based on what you said seemed to be “it’s all made up.”
That is simply a lie.
I said “the most likely answer” is that it was bullshit due to only being oral history without any corroborating evidence. I did not even remotely imply that all oral history is made up.
