Trying to find artifacts
Digging through ruins
Discovering new finds
The past hasn't been found
Our unrecorded past is lavish
Based upon stories, events surreal
Humanity has a history
One that is an epic saga
Myths are thought by many
To be purely fictional
Troy was real, though
With relics and evidence
Narwhals, Rhinoceros and Giant Squid
Every one is known to be real
The world thought them mythic
And by definition, fiction
What matters is learning
Knowing the relevance of data
Artifacts of the past exist
As do various creatures
If humans need to tell stories
They don't always will follow
The required facts and descriptions
They use their imaginations
Not the work of scientists
Archeologists laboring
Sifting through layers of strata
