So does the Bible. Actual evidence: the foundation of the tower of Babel, the walls and ruins of the city of Jericho, the non-jewish writings that support biblical places, events and persons.
There is evidence available for anyone who wishes to weigh and decide - or trivialize and ignore. You choose.

Well, you can pick up a lot of fiction books, crime novels, for instance, that go into great detail describing real cities, buildings, cultural events, etc. But never the less the characters are fictitious or at least involved in fictitious activities. Finding that the environment describe in the fiction really exist doesn't prove that all crime novels are true stories.
Why indeed would a religion in the process of being created not allude to contemporaneous places, people, and events. All religious tomes are like that. Even Athena worshippers used existing places and things in their descriptions of her.
Is Athena proven as real because of this?
OK. I choose science.
