Also , since elephants skull have a hole in the center , its possible that dwarf elephant fossils are the basis of the Cyclops of Greek mythology. Although this theory is heavily debunked ,int is interesting.

I was just in Greece and inspired to look up this theory. From what I read, it’s not “heavily debunked” but rather there’s just no proof of it.

Fair enough perhaps substitute in "widely disputed" instead.
