Possible Royal Graves Dated to the Time of King Arthur Found in Great Britain
Possible Royal Graves Dated to the Time of King Arthur Found in Great Britain New research brings the number of potential burial sites of early medieval Celtic rulers from 2 to more than 20 April 15, 2022 According to legend, King Arthur rose to power in the fifth or sixth century C.E., overcoming adversity to usher in the golden age of Camelot—a singular bright spot in an era often referred to (perhaps misleadingly) as the Dark Ages. In reality, Arthur probably didn’t actually call Britain home during what is also known as the early medieval era. The ruler is widely believed to be either a folkloric figure or a composite of several historic kings. But hundreds of real-life kings and queens did wield power at the time—and now, reports David Keys for the Independent, archaeologist Ken Dark says he’s identified the long-overlooked tombs of up to 65 of them. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart...ain-180979927/ |
