In every legend there are grains of the truth scattered throughout. It takes a special person that has a passionate and keen mind to see those grains of truth as they truly are. I believe that Graham Phillips is such a person. Often differences in language lead to misunderstanding and confusion. His analysis and conclusions are all very convincing, especially about the names of Arthur (the bear) and Uther Pendragon (the terrible head dragon) being battle names and not actual names. We will all know the truth when (not if) they finally do an archeological excavation at Graham's proposed burial site.

Written in modern English, more likely a fraud from the Victorian era

The difference between amateur and professional historians is the amateur's ability to obsess over the details of one particular event, historical figure, or geographical region. A pro can't do that and retain their reputation. Amateurs can afford to be wrong! Pros can't. Lynn Picknett pointed out the success of the amateur who found Richard III's grave, and an incredibly unlikely place. Philippa Langley is now referred to as a British historian when at the time she was the President of the Richard III fan club and spent a decade putting together the clues necessary to find him. Pros don't have that kind of time to dedicate to one project like that.

Said in another way amatures are free to follow the evidence, where "pros" are often stubbornly holding on to what they wrote in their last book or spent their lives preaching because new discoveries could have devastating consequences for their careers... Like Egypt and "egyptology" for example.. "Pros" are more like pastors desperately clinging on to an old religion rather than scientists and thats why people dont consider it a real science, because its not..

I never think about that, Arthur being a title instead of a name.

What's amazing is that the whole area where he ostensibly lived is still as undeveloped as it was 1500 years ago, except for the removal of the swamp. To find an undisturbed 1500 year old grave of an important leader in the middle of nowhere would be a great find.

Plausible to me is the Annals of the Welsh Priests. Arthur in around 520 AD the victorious recording of an Arthur in the Battle of Badon between Britain's and the Anglo-Saxons. Arthur dies 20 years later in the Battle of Camlann. Arthur was a real Welsh Warrior - not a glamorized armored Knight/King. Arthur ruled from Welsh city of Viroconium or Wroxeter Roman City. Post Roman Society in Western Britain. "Arthur" as a title is plausible. After all, "David" of the Bible has been more than once referred to as a Title and not his real name. I'm convinced to the explanation around 31 Minutes into this documentary. "A pretty compelling case". Yes. Thank you.

Because they don't want it to be an amateur who discovered it. Same way in Egypt they keep a lot of secrets because there is mounting evidence from ametours that a lot of the pyramids etc were built a long time before the Egyptians arrived there. Or at least the whole history of the place will be changed. Same all over the world actually but specifically these things.

His theory makes so much sence.

This is so very interesting. Love Graham.

I’m convinced. Well done. Hope to see more ❤❤❤❤

I am very sad that there was no King Artur

Most of these “experts” seem to be the very same self important “know it alls” one would expect them to be. It’s not just the facts, if at all, that draws people to the “once and future King”, and the mythology. It’s the desire for something greater. A fantastic tale that “could” be true, and not only that but that you can even GO to these very same places mentioned in the stories. A fantastical tale that they can be a part of.

There may have been a hero, then they added aspects of Charlemagne such as a special sword and his Paladins under different names to create a British hero in the same mold.

The first guy that said he would have had leather armour obviously forgot the romans had metal armour at least 200 years before. Remember until the 18tj century it was thought the hittites were a fabrication and never existed.

King Arthur is a composite of several king warriors from Brittany to Cornwall and Wales. Legends, myths, and embellished tales all have grains of truth in them that makes the stories believable.

Not sure what more could be expected here. Clearly this individual owain was at least a majority person in the Arthur story. Certainly elements of other men may have been added to the Arthur legend but he was clearly a significant portion of it

Possibly a post-Roman war leader who might have been a descendent of a retired Roman soldier who might not have even been from Rome but one of the other 'provinces' controlled by Rome. Much of the rest is down to the French.

In terms of Cornwall, that you so readily dismiss, not only was it one of the last holdouts of the native Britons and therefore an area where the legend of Arthur would have survived into the middle ages. There is the small matter of the substantial high status artefacts found at Tintagel which date from the period that Arthur was allegedly active against the Saxons. Indeed, the mediterranean pottery and artefacts found there far exceeds anything found in the rest of Britain including the negligible contribution of Wales. Similarly, no other part of Britain has an equivalent to the Artognou slate found at Tintagel in 1998, the meaning of which is still open to debate, but suggests an important Dummonian sub-king, who might have been the inspiration for Geoffrey of Monmouth placing Arthur and Uther Pendragon/Gorlois at the most important trading centre in early medieval Britain, Tintagel, Cornwall/Keronw.

I hate to cast aspersions. But. I think the Glastonbury monks may have been scammers. Since I was a twitterpatted girl, I have believed that " Arthur " was a Romanized warlord, trying to hold his tribes together to keep the land. He lived with a sword in his hand, and slept in the saddle. Or on the ground, under his cloak. HE was MY king. A great War Bear.

It will be wonderful though if we only have time machine and go back in time to figure out everything.

I favor the story, though fictionalized, told by the film, KING ARTHUR (about 2004). Artorius was a Roman-Briton who lived in the 5th C. He commanded knights who were indentured slaves serving Rome until Rome abruptly abandoned Briton in about 456 AD.

It's a riddle. Arthur means "art on Stone", the story of the sword is "magically" engraved in the stone. I found one of these stones, there are probably many. Its made of Quartz and when you put it under a flashlight it reveals ancient images, I find them by the rivers effortlessly because no one has thought to do what I do yet, come see and be amazed. It Unites man because it shows the civilization we think is just cave men....actually makes us the cave men. My short reel

Oh so many theories regarding Arthur. The turn of the 5th Century and the last legions had left Britain. All that remained were the veterans who had accepted land grants and their families . Arthur, if that was his name, would probably been the senior Roman commander remaining. The round table a magnificent way of retaining equality. And Camelot. Well that was Camelodium..…. All past history.

Sorry but I believe that the Story was based upon real People! Although their Names could be different! Sounds like Graham Phillips may have found him and it makes sense!

He was a kid at start.he lost his true love.he had to for give his true love.his sister son was his undoing.he was a righter arfor of story.the pin told it Who wood that be today.

You know what Grahams' theory when proven correct, would tell you? That Arthur the man in his lifetime was just as important as President Zelensky in our time. He was real, he fought/defended his home and his people. Those people who are only mentioned in the stories of the Druids, as they weren't Christian enough to be written down in history books. Those people who are as real as the people around President Zelensky. Merlin, second-in-command/advisor Ygraine, wife of Uther, mother to Arthur. Of a tribe connected to the druids. Mordred, Arthurs 'nephew' thus son of Arthurs sister. Morgana, mother of Mordred, (half)sister to Arthur, connected to the Druids. Guinevere, Arthurs wife and definitly Christian as she was found in a Christian Grave. Morgause, Ygraine's sister. Lancelot, Arthurs bestie/ soldier who caused a scandal when he run of with Arthurs wife. (Nope Gwen isn't buried with Arthur. She is buried with Lancelot) Knights of the Round Table, Arthurs soldiers and best friends. Excalibur was most likely a gift sword from the druids given to Arthur. The holy grail is Mary Magdalene's tomb. They already went looking for it in 5AD. How amazing. The worst battle in Arthurs life went long on after his death. It's Druids vs Christians. Now if Graham is proven correct, it tells you that the Druids were as able as the Christians to preserve their history. They didn't need written books, they did it by telling stories. Stories which were so strong they are still alive in 2023 AD. Now. Will the people of today allow the Druids to share their stories or are they just going to keep saying it's nonsense?

Mary wasn’t the holy Grail

there is a much earlier docs om detta and so much better.

um, actually? the archeology doesn't support a germanic invasion. nor do genetics? so i'm confused about this. is this maybe pre2019?

I think King Arthur is real person but his story is exaggerated like what we do in movies now especially Hollywood, we exaggerate stories. Same thing happened here but it's a real history based on real person but just exaggerated. The round table, Camelot and the Excalibur are probably exaggerated.

When do you become a professional? I've been watching Graham for over 25-30 years now.

The real King Arthur may be found. At troubled times. And he is dead

If they do a digging on that place where Graham Philips pointed, it would beat king 👑 Richard III discovery. Graham Philips may not be professional archeologist but just like the one who found king Richard III she is not professional either. I do believe Graham Philips is right just like the one who found king Richard III. He found king Arthur.

Who was first wife

Graham Phillips doesn't know his ar*e from his elbow. He calls Wroxeter /Viroconium/ but capital V in classical latin represent U and the town was pronounced /Wiroconium/. Likewise he mangles Rhyd y groes, pronounced /Hreed uh groice/ to /Rid ee gross/. He hasn't a clue. The idea that the battle of Camlann was fought near Rhyd y groes (Ford of the cross) derives from the Dream of Rhonabwy which is very late (late 12th or 13thC) and is a satirical story of a dream. He is also wrong that "dragon" in Welsh is the same word as in English. It is not. The Welsh word is "draig" or in old Welsh "dreic". But Uther is never called Pendraig or Old Welsh Penndreic, he is Ythyr Ben Dragwn, Uthyr Pendragon, Uthyr Bendragon. He needs to learn some Welsh before pontificating on Arthur.

he's not wearing "leather armor". he's likely earing mail if he's got money; a simple gambeson or thick layered garment if he doesn't. stop with the tired "leather armor" garbage; unless it's been hardened with wax or is a suspension to support metal plates.

Nice thought, but it doesn’t ring true to me. People would feel it if it were true. Use your intuition. I agree with the Rev Fanthorpe. Look up the dude Vortigern. Read his story. Written AT THE TIME. Vortigern stole Arthur’s “kingdom” ( to us these days reminiscent of a city suburb) back in 443 when Arthur was enslaved by the Romans. Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote of the “rise” of Vortigern after the death of the Roman king Constantine lll

The surprising thing to the point of being funny is the false notion that supposedly the "mother" of Jesus and Joseph of Ramatima came to Britain and founded a church - when it is known for sure that the first Christians were all Jews And that in order to belong to the group of Jesus the Jews you had to convert So it is not possible that Jesus' mother was a Christian in the sense you mean, Only after the great rebellion in 147 AD, there was a separation between Jews and Gentiles in Jesus' movement. Mainly, the life expectancy of the people then reached the age of 30+ so to reach an extreme age as it is implied here (because of the dates of arrival) really does not make sense in general.

Maybe because yanks the United States used to be a British colony and upon independence all British history and myths and literature books were inherited in the US causing accessibility and perhaps just a thought, Americans descend from Britons citizens before it was independent. American history used to extend into British history. By analogy Arab empires in North Africa still historically descend from a continuation of Arab culture. A maghrebi Arab has access to the same history as the Saudis. Just by analogy.
