I found a copy of Geoffrey of Monmouths ‘History of the kings of
Britain’ on google books. I started to read from before the battle at
Kearconan, and then to the part where Merlin saw the dragon/star in
the sky and then Merlin burst into tears, knowing Auralius had died,
(and then foretold Uther a prophecy).
Then I got to the part where The stones from Ireland where brought
over, (The Giants Dance) by Uther, Merlin, and 15 thousand men.
At that point I stopped reading, and I clicked the page off saying
“It’s fiction’,
What gave his game away is this, firstly, he mentions stone castles,
that, to be honest, there is no archaeological evidence to suggest
anything like those existed in the 6th Century.
I also read on the Vortigern Studies, and in Geoffrey’s Work, about
EOPA, the supposed Saxon monk who poisoned Ambrosis, it did not
happen, the writer on the Vortigern Studies pointed out, no one would
have go anywhere near Auralius, let a lone a mysterious unknown Saxon,
and I think I know where Geoffrey is coming from, in his clever piece
of work.
To me, EOPA is a fictional character, in essence it is Geoffrey
himself, (A Monk) who is feeding the poison to the reader, in the form
of lies.
Nice try Geoffrey, people in the centuries of long ago probably
believed everything he wrote, as for me, I’ve read too much about
gritty modern history and archaeology.
Geoffrey of Monmouths work does nothing but poison the history of
Auralius, almost to the point where he has some vengeance against him,
(Understandably).
It is a political piece of work, I still think ‘Arthur’ existed, and
that judgement is from modern history and archaeology. A good thing to
base judgement on.
In the 1960’s, Cadbury Castle was excavated, and they found it had
been heavily refortified during the 6th Century, that’s evidence, The
Hillfort I wrote of, with the two carved dragons upon the wooden
gates, it’s the site of Cadbury Castle. The other place I wrote of,
The castle or monastery near the sea, would be the site of Tintagel
Castle, more than likely a refortified monastery., and again, it was
excavated to prove a Christian monastery existed there at the time,
and prior of Arthur.
Geoffrey’s work is too far fetched to be believable. Nothing to do
with life In the 6th century., much of what Geoffrey wrote has been
proved wrong by archaeology, and archaeology in itself does not prove
Arthur existed, but it proves certain elements of the legend may have
been true. There are Many coincidences., There is also the burial at
Stonehenge that Archaeologists uncovered, a burial of a religions
leader dating to ‘roughly’ the times of Arthur, it has been put
forward that it may have been Bran the Blessed, could it have been
Merlin Ambrosius?. Geoffrey seems have forgotten who was buried
there, for some reason. Or saw fit not to answer the question.
Geoffrey of Monmouth, you’re a liar.
