The articles I have read give no indication that anyone is promoting the location as being where the actual mythical event happened, but rather that this is the location the ancients held sacred in regard to the mythical event (whether they believed it happened there, or simply found it a suitable location).

This clearly does also hold true in regard to the bible or any other mythical texts. I think you're point is clear enough, ws, but I think you're arguing against something that nobody is actually arguing for, and making a point that (at least) most accept right away. Loading...
