Indian mythology is conveniently devoid of any scientific proof. Our archaeological finds are not documented to prove or disprove the myth.
In the absence of proof or need for it we keep spinning tall tales.

"No individual character like Krishna or Rama can be found through archaeology," said Prof. B.D. Chatopadhyay of the Centre for Historical Studies at JNU.
"Archaeology can reconstruct the material culture of a people. Krishna
is known from legends, epics and puranas. Interpolating archaeology
with literature is fraught with difficulties. The efforts of some
historians and archaeologists to correlate textual evidence with
archaeological finds have not found a consensus even among themselves,
and serious archaeologists are questioning the exercise."
