King Arthur is merely the hook

[N. Theknow]

It looks unhEnged

Arthur went to Avalon. EVERYBODY knows that!

“He must be a king.”

“How do you know?”

“He hasn’t got s___ all over him!”

Linked to King Arthur?? Really. Let’s ask Merlin.

The English version of “Al Capone’s Vault”

I wonder how much this is costing the good subjects of England.

“a 5,000-year-old tomb linked to King Arthur...”

Maybe they will find directions on how his flour is made.

Fascinating, as always. Here's a little aside...

I've been doing family genealogical research for several years and learned that most of my Mom's ancestors came from what used to be called East Yorkshire. While researching the familial area area a few months back, I stumbled across the Willy Howe Burial Mound. I found it wasn't identified on Google Maps, so I added it.

A couple days ago Google sent me a mail saying 250,000 people had looked at the Willy Howe Mound I'd added to Google Maps. This is an obscure, rather mundane feature and when I added it, I figured nobody would ever see it. I was absolutely flabbergasted to see a quarter million people have looked at that nondescript burial mound.

Turns out the Willy Howe Mound is the source of the "fullest English version of the ‘stolen fairy cup’ legend." from the 12th century.

“Hep Joan! prow Mark! Whether God will or no, We'll have this ark.”

Here it is. It seems that all the ancient burial mounds in England are covered in trees while the surrounding farmland is bare.

...incomplete skeletal remains of several people...

Are they incomplete because they were buried that way, maybe mutilated, or because the tombs had been looted centuries ago?

This is very interesting - thanks for posting! Hope they find Merlin’s book of crafts - grin.

King Arthur: a myth or an actual post Roman chieftain ruling in an era when the written record fell out of fashion. Who knows?

[jimmygrace]

Apparently King Arthur existed PRIOR to Roman Britain, not afterwards, along with Merlin, Tyrion Lannister, and the Hobbits...

[Rebelbase]

The pic of that tomb does not scream Camelot.

Stupid, lazy aliens! Couldn’t even get that picnic table level!
