Just because something is written does not make it so.

At most, we can say that it is a fact that such things are recorded in several lore texts. However, what is written in those lore texts looks suspiciously like mythology or one of the branches of mythology such as cosmology. And, generally, mythology and cosmology are known for being culturally specific parables and metaphors and are not known for being literally true - otherwise, it really would be "Turtles! All the way down."
