Did Ramayana reaaalllyyyyy Happen? Really really?

వేదవేద్యే పారే పుంసి జాతే దసరతత్మజే వెధప్రచెద సదాసి సాక్షాత్ రామాయనత్మనః --- The Ramayana contains the very essense of the entire vedas Lately I have been seeing a lot of people talking about the Ramayana and how much truth there is to it and also interesting interpretations on certain aspects of it (especially after having NEVER read the Ramayana and knowing only a few pieces here and there or at most having watched the TV serial, if that's how lucky they got in life).
