You are aware the "the Onion" is a joke news site that is more aimed at poking fun than giving any factual information.
I can't believe you actually thought it was factual. Go talk to a researcher and they will tell you how to discern from real sources as compared to fake ones like this. Actually, just reading this, i was laughing as there are so many lies in it. First of all the historical society would never let this happen as they always question each others sources. Plus 1970's is an information age, if this happened in lets say anywhere from 1200 to 1700 it would be more believable but to do this withing 4 years in 1970 is a joke. Greek civilization didn't appear in 1970 out of nowhere.
You should be ashamed that you let this fool you.
