"one shouldn't accept any fanciful story out of hand, nor should we dismiss it out of hand. Sometimes, a grain of truth exists, shrouded in a package of myth and superstition. We must be open to learning about these stories, and learning the truth about them too. A skeptical but open mind is essential when studying science, history or any other topic!"
To quote one of my favourite books by issac asimov - foundation series earth. A fact gets muddled by repeated presentation over generations and becomes myths
If people accepted the nayak paintings in big temple we would have had the beautiful chola art .
