In history you read about elves, fairies, little people, spirits. It was an accepted part of reality.
But now that’s obvious nonsense and if you see fairies then you need a doctor.
Are we insane now?
Yes I know, nutrition, literacy and the scientific enlightenment. But still.
What “in history” are your taking about? I’m not aware of historical documents reporting the existance of fairies. I don’t think you find something like this is the writings of ancient Greek historians like Herodotus. Sometimes they report fanciful things about far away places where they are reporting stories they didn’t themselves witness, like say tribes of dog-headed people, but you don’t see the same thing when they report goings on they witnessed.
And wouldn’t you expect there to be fossils or other remains? Do your see faeries in the pictures left by the ancient Greeks, Romans, or Egyptians?
No uh because fairy skeletons don’t fossilize ever because reasons. or they don’t die or anything. notice how a lot of these fanciful things have an escape clause against discoverability?
