This is the world social media created. If people think something is true, then it is. We’ve destroyed the meaning of real Truth. Everyone’s just free to make up and believe whatever they want

Funnily enough though there's actually a huge amount of this actually happening in egyptology right now. There's a one researcher who is absolutely despised by some Egyptian government officials and whose findings may have shown a prior decision by the office for the preservation and protection of the pyramids to be bad (they filled an area thinking it was erosion, but it may have been a groove for pulling rope through as part of the theorized pully system for getting the absolutely massive granite stones to the kings chamber). If you're interested look up the 'great void' controversy and that should set you on the right path.

I mean this guy is a fucking looney but it does actually happen to legit researchers sometimes. (Especially amateurs and lower level positions like lab techs)
