Great photo. Wish it was a painting, though.
I assume no one has ever found the actual grave-site, not just “where he died..”
The more you look for the historical origins of the Arthur mythos, the more it dissolves into mists of legends and folklore and confusing place-names. I suppose that’s part of the fascination. You can make up almost any kind of explanation and find enough evidence to sound convincing.
Was getting my tires rotated here… looked over T… magazine and discovered a little article Lars might be interested in.
It seems the Vikings used to park their boats on the N. side of the Thames River in London…50 AD.
This was discovered around Sept. 24 this year.
So, Lars, now you have food for another novel! Get on it, man!!
50 AD? That was about 700 years before the Viking Age started.
Hey, man, blane it on that T magzines…Oct. w12.
I jus reportd th facs as my reaing lasses allo me.
Does this have anything to do with the movie, Pendragon: Sword of His Father?
Produced by a couple of homeschool families with $80,000 and 400 extras. The cinematography is amazing, but some of the acting was pretty pathetic.
