they are mentioned as myths because their
historicities have not been established yet.  the
excavations at ayodhya and other mythological sites
have given us nothing.  there is a strong opinion that
the ayodhya is possibly in afghanistan.  the vedic
sarayu is identified with the avestan haroyu, the
present name of which is helmand in afghanistan. it is
possible we might find the copper age rama's ayodhya
there.

the archeological evidence will only provide the date
and time of a possible settlement.  the myth of rama
has grown over the centuries, each rendering adding
newer and newer details.  so in the end, the
historical rama could be very different from the
mythological rama.
