As far as the show is concerned, I don&#x27;t think this is true. They approach it forensically, first determining if they should even cast doubt on the historical assumptions.  I know this is mostly dramatized tv, but it coming up with some great results using technology where it&#x27;s never been used before.  Of course a show needs a narative, and that&#x27;s a bit dangerous, but it doesn&#x27;t mean the new evidence is invalid. Funding archeology and investigations like this can only come though tv sadly.  I hope some historians review the new material and give their feedback because I really don&#x27;t want to have to rely on the History Channels accounts of these events.
