do you think if suddenly a massive archaeological discovery was made, I can't think of an example but let's say we always though the Romans worshipped Greek gods but then realised it was their own deities (a bad example but merely picture a revelation huge), it would significantly change fantasy?

Just like how the idea of humans living on Venus from the golden age disappeared as our knowledge of the planet grew, would discoveries into history alter our imagination and perception of fantasy? Or is fantasy too distant from the past, and instead a self-correct autonomous genre of fiction.
