“Funny, for current religions believers call it truth, but when nobody’s around who follows a religion anymore everybody calls it myth and stories”

Not only do they call it truth, they actually are cocky and arrogant about it and have the nerve to attack others that don’t believe what they do. How about believing every word in ancient texts that were conveniently translated into english by a bunch of guys with agendas? Uh oh, take cover.

Mycenaeans

A Greek and American team of archaeologists working on the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project believe evidence indicates that Zeus' worship was established on Mt. Lykaion as early as the Late Helladic period, if not before, more than 3,200 years ago... Over fifty Mycenaean drinking vessels, or kylikes, were found on the bedrock at the bottom of the trench along with fragments of human and animal figurines and a miniature double headed axe. Also found were burned animal bones, mostly of goats and sheep, another indication consistent with Mycenaean cult activity... Evidence from subsequent periods in the same trench...
