That may be true but the scientific hypotheses and theories well supported by evidence in archeology have been wrong enough times that it isn't inappropriate to question them

That's how science works but new hypotheses must necessarily be able to explain all the existing evidence rather than just cherry-picking.

How is that relevant? Misinterpretation of evidence is a thing, certainly, but that has nothing to do with a crackpot making up stories without any evidence to support them. I can do that too, in an afternoon. Doesn't make it real.
