Tyranny of the myth
Many scholars today tend to attribute the ancients as dealing exclusively in myths. If it is old then it is a myth. However, many myths have been discovered to be actual events.
Some go so far as to attribute works of the ancients as aided by extra terrestrials or totally accomplished by travelers from another world, only to discover information revealing how our own ancients accomplished what amazes scholars of today.
The Roman Colosseum was, I believe, one of those incidents. Discovered in a in Roman library in London, with drawings yet. This event is not very old either. Astro devices orbiting the earth reveal a body of water connected via canals to Rome, an inland bay not imagined until our day. These occurrences will likely continue in the future. Cities beneath the sea, the list goes on even as the tyranny of myth list shrinks.
