Romeo and Juliet is fictional.

I mean sure, could count as "evidence" but you'd have to be aware of the strength of it.

Imagine in a 100 years time, the next civilisation finds some popular dvd and tries to draw conclusions from it.

I just mentioned it as a much later example for early marriages, but my other example(s) wasn’t refuted.

Also, I think quite a lot can be reconstructed from even primitive drawings, let alone a whole dvd we know got popular and thus even more relevant for an age.

The only "other example(s)" I could find from you was "The Bible". I (respectfully) avoided questioning it.

I do agree with you about getting information from even primitive drawings. I think we differ in our views about the degree and type of information we can get.
