No Smoke Without Fire: The Existence of Xia Dynasty and the Great Flood Legend
The Xia Dynasty is traditionally regarded as the first dynasty of China. This dynasty is believed to have been founded by Yu the Great towards the end of the 3rd millennium BC, and lasted until around the middle of the next. Whilst this dynasty is attested in the ancient Chinese texts, there is a lack of archaeological evidence to support the existence of this dynasty. Thus, the Xia Dynasty has commonly been regarded as a mythical dynasty.

The Ancient Origins Of Modern Greece
Nationhood is a figment of the collective imagination, actualized by a cluster of symbols and ideas – flags, anthems, sports teams, traditional dress (sometimes), a common religion (often), shared values (whether or not they are upheld) – which help to build a sense of collective identity.
