Kind of hard to not know about them.

"2.)  You can't summon them. They simply have to just wake up when they feel the land is in trouble." The land was in trouble when Godzilla attacked.

" 3.) They were not a plot device in Gojira, hence not being able to wake up and fight Godzilla." We're talking about the GMK timeline, not the Gojira timeline.

1.) when there is one book about them in the whole world and no body else seems to know what they are, then yeah. Also, they called Baragon Godzilla. If everyone knew about the legend then they wouldn't have called him that. they also had to give the monsters code names according to the legends, which were given to the monsters due to the girls dad knowing their names.

2.) Godzilla was attacking a city first of all, and that was also a minor misconception on my part. you technically have to break the statues, but that just really works as an alarm clock.

3.) Gojira is part of the GMK time line. how you don't know this is beyond me. For starters whats her faces dad references it and says he lost his parents in the event, it is specified that Godzilla is the dead corpse of the original possessed by angry spirits who died in WWII, it is also flat out obvious with the design of the suit. They were not part of Gojira, hence not being able to be awakened for the movies purposes. The year long gap in between those movies is also super large. Those are the reasons why Japan could not have done it.
