It’s amazing how many people believe King Arthur is just a legend despite the overwhelming archaeological evidence that both he and Camelot were real. When will people finally accept the truth?
Arthur to me, is like the Troy and when Greek fought that they’re saying Troy never existed but now they might’ve actually found it
Mythology may be true. We do not know. I hate when they say oh, it’s a mythology they don’t know.
I just watched the documentary and it said they just found a pendant and some bodies but I didn’t hear nothing about sword
that there is no evidence no primary source from the time to confirm that King Arthur was ever a real person.
60 some ppl we're kings or queens ran Britons, and none were named Arthur. Thanks ever much
Thanks for your work and time ❤❤❤
Theres a seed of truth in most mystic figures in history. Usually romantize in medieval and later histories. Imagine the stories we've never heard. I bielive the minions was the seed of Atlantis. Doggeerland the great flood. Fishermen found the new world a century or two. Maybe I'm wrong.
Not unlike all the other English takes on the History of Britain. Pity.
Charlemagne's life was converted into "King Arthur" by limited, unoriginal minds!
I believe continued patient historical research and archaeology will undoubtedly reveal the truth as more evidence is being uncovered. It's absolutely fascinating and such a beautiful story. I believe if they do one day find the evidence it should be made into a Christian Shrine and highly protected from thieves and vandals!
If the legend of King Arthur is real undoubtedly he is one of humanities greatest hero's!
Why have they hidden him👀
Camelot is NOT Cadbury – which doesn't even date to the right period. Camelot is (pretty obviously) Camulo Dunum, modern day Colchester, which was the original ROMAN capital of Britain – the one sacked and burned by Boadicea. This fact clearly points to the critical context of the original legend (not the Geoffrey of Monmouth fiction), it was the attempted restoration of the Pax Romana in Britain. It is clearly related to what was happening in the Kingdon of Soissons just across the Channel at the very same time. Arthur's authority was not based on any "Celtic" tribal domain but on Roman imperial tradition. He is REX but not a mere "king". When you frame it in these Roman terms and documented historical facts it makes sense, otherwise it is meaningless garbage – which is all the Tintagel/Glastonbury/Cadbury nonsense amounts to.
Matt Lewis is awesome
Why did you add a second show from 20 years ago
SO MANY OF YOU HAVE KNOWN ALL THIS ALREADY !!
very good program, well presented and enjoyable
Of all the heroes in human civilization, none inspire me more than two of the UK's greatest champions; Arthur Pendragon and Robin of Locksley.
Although they are mere "legends" in the eyes of our modern society, they embody what being TRUE heroes is about…which is something we've lost in our "sophisticated" modern world
