My suspicion is that the Epstein files are packed full of garbage, there are truths in there, but they have likely pushed in so much obvious falsehood as well that they can convince some audiences to ignore the whole thing as a pack of lies.

As for your archaeologists, some will no doubt find the truth and recognize it for that it is, but will they be allowed to effectively communicate their findings to the masses? I suspect that all depends on who is in charge.

I suspect we’ve got quite the chaotic froth of “who’s in charge” of the world today.
