David, to help you understand the process, let's take an example. No TRUTH can be discerned from myth, but suggestions of historical "truths" can be, and pointers toward real historical events. Take the Trojan Horse... if you analyze its description and compare it to a battering ram of the era, you find a number of striking parallels. A shed-like structure hiding the enemy inside. Covered in (horse?) hides to protect them from fire, rained down from above. Maybe a horse shaped battering head to break down the wall of Troy... etc. Add a little mythologizing about sneaking in, rather than fighting one's way into the city (fighting was so 1250 BCE-ish... and what's to be praised about that? Anyone could do that.) Shake together and you end up with a truly epic EPIC! Same for Atlantis... the Minoans and Sea Peoples, with a bit of allegory mixed in. Talos... the Minoan "bronze giant" that patrolled the coasts of Crete... the bronze armed sailors that patrolled the coasts of Crete, looking out for pirates. Even Plato got into the game, saying Talos was an allegory for the Minoans taking the bronze tablets around the countryside, displaying the Laws of the Land. It goes on and on... Deucalion's Flood, Metis, etc. etc. Not a lot of "real" history in the way we think of history today, but a lot of story-making mythologized history to remind the Athenians where they came from and how great they were.
Hope that helps.

As somebody who used to believe in this stuff, I generally didn't research what I was told, I just believed it because I wanted to. And in the 1980's, there was no easy access to people who could actually read Cuniform and the like, especially for a working class person like myself who wasn't in higher education. The public library was the only option. There are fewer excuses for avoiding research in the modern age.
That said, I believe that there are lots of lost civilisations to be found, some may surprise us with the skills and technology they had for the age they lived in...but we will never find these civilisations that allegedly had lightbulbs or industrial stone cutting machines because they never existed to begin with.

The method is called "cherry-pick".
