I think you're wasting your energy...
I think, in all seriousness, that SlickNica is no troll. He says it as he sees it. I think he really believes that the use of archaeology is a modern 'fad' and that, basically, anything that doesn't add up to the 'original sources' (which generally aren't original anyway, and are not written as a history as we might understand such now..but rather as polemics, or as 'moral guides' - and I'll refer you to your own words, Slic, in terms of the nature of such 'histories' "Thus, it is important to realize that the world as was then is much different as it is now. Whether better or worse, we cannot assume it worked in the same way it does now.")

I think Oudysseos has given the best reply, in so far as highlighting the paucity of any real argument within the OP, but I think it unfair to dismiss SlicNicka as simply a troll.
