Comment on It's always been women in STEM.

Interesting that googling would take precedence over UNESCO or Guinness in a science community of all places.
If we want to cite that lack of archaeological evidence makes the story unverifiable, that’s a starting point.
But I’m going to trust actual organizations with institutional standards over googling. That’s just me though. Other readers can draw their own conclusions.

I trust UNESCO, but isn’t Guinness basically pay-to-play, like if I got together with my entire city and we baked the world’s largest pizza, verified by a number of neutral third parties but I don’t pay the $$$ to bring the Guinness team, according to them it doesn’t count?
