I like how the Brits try so hard to justify their belief in myths. And Arthur was a myth, just like Robin Hood.

Every ancient and great civilisation has its myths and legends.

Historians, though, disagree as to whether or not Arthur was real. The same is true of Robin Hood.

I keep hearing Arthur is a synthesis of various legends and heros in Britain, associated with the retreat of the Romans, and the invasion of Angles and Saxons. They are interwoven with both Christian and Druid mythologies. There might never have been an Arthur.. certainly no Guinevere, Lancelot, Galahad, Merlin and Excalibur.

Isn't christianity very interesting the apostles up there in the heavens while we ponder our existance here crucified on flesh set to the trials and tribulations assigned for us by the creator, here in the underworld. There has always been an Arthur.

14. King Arthur. # The Horde wars and the conquests of a latter epoch of the XIV-XVI cc. were falsely inserted into the Life of Arthur-Christ. For example the story of the Battle of Kulikovo has been inserted. In it Arthur is identified with Khan Dmitryi Donskoy (Emperor Constantine) and also with the Biblical David. The well-known battle of Arthur with a fierce giant is David fighting Goliath. That is once again the Battle of Kulikovo.
# The well-known wizard Merlin is a magus-sorcerer and also the Holy Spirit of the Gospels, and also (in some of the fragments of chronicles) the Emperor Andronicus-Christ himself.
# King Uhter is King Herod, and in other fragments it is the Holy Spirit who procreated Christ (Arthur).
# The story of Arthur's birth is the Gospel story of the Immaculate Conception and the Nativity of Christ.
# In the Life of Arthur the story of John the Baptist is inserted.
# The notorious traitor Modred or Mordred who rebelled against Arthur is the reflection of the Gospel King Herod and also to a greater degree - Judas Iscariot. The scheming Judas is also reflected in the image of King's Arthur 'unfaithful wife Guinevere'.
# The cycle of legends of King Arthur was created quite late, in the epoch of the XVI-XVII cc. The story of Christ is fantastically entwined here with much later events, mainly of the military history of the Horde. It's no coincidence that the name ARTHUR coincides with the word ARTA or HORDE.
# The famous Round Table of King Arthur and the meeting of twelve of his best knights at the Round Table is a recollection of Christ's famous Last Supper, when at the same table not long before Christ's death all 12 of Jesus' apostles gathered together [XP], ch.7.
A great deal is written about King Arthur and the Holy Grail. The literature dedicated to the Arthurian legends and their reflection in the fictional literature of different epochs and different people is truly vast. Now such a keen interest towards the persona of Arthur makes perfect sense.HOW IT WAS IN REALITY

In the county of Cheshire, in north west England, there is steep and thickly wooded sandstone ridge, Alderley Edge, which is the area's chief topographical feature and overlooks the Cheshire Plain.

According to local legend, there is a cave within Alderley Edge in which Arthur and his knights lie sleeping. The story goes that a farmer was on his way to market at the nearby town of Macclesfield when he was stopped by an old man who offered to buy the white horse he was planning to sell. Refusing the low offer, the farmer rode on. Despite much interest, no one bought the horse at the market. On the way back, the same mysterious man appeared and this time the farmer accepted the offer. Leading him to the hillside, the old man laid a hand on some rocks, which opened to reveal iron gates at an entrance into the hill. Within the hill, the astonished farmer saw the great king and his knights, together with their mounts, asleep in a vast cavern. The horse was for one of the knights, and the farmer received a bag of gold for it before he fled, hearing the gates clang shut behind him.

To this day, King Arthur and his knights aren't dead - they are merely sleeping within the cave.

Above Alderley Edge is a bearded, weather-beaten face. Under it is written 'Drink of this and take thy fill, for the water falls by the wizard's will'

The inscription would no doubt indicate when it was chiseled into stone. Have you a picture of it? Leaving that out was no doubt an oversight.

I think he was cremated and his ashes were dumped off the Ark at high tide, so good luck with that one! :)

He disembarked in Sumeria and married again, the Arc was sold to a dung merchant in need of a barge, eventually it floundered in the Euphraties broke up and was washed into the sea where the fish.
