For fifteen hundred King Arthur has remained a mystery. For the
first time, King Arthur - The True Story discovers the historical
King Arthur, his Camelot and his final resting place. The authors
uncover vital evidence for Arthur's historical existence. Centuries
of myth are peeled away to reveal the truth behind the romance, and
the Grail and Excalibur legends. The search for Arthur's Camelot
leads to ancient ruins in the heart of Britain - an incredible Dark
Age city recently unearthed by archaeology. A medieval manuscript
in Oxford's Bodleian Library finally identifies King Arthur's
burial site: the real Avalon.
ANCIENT MYSTERIES / GRAIL "Graham Phillips has now turned his
investigative talents to the search for the Holy Grail. . . . for
anyone fascinated by the intertwining of history and myth." --Today
The popular Arthurian stories of the Middle Ages depict the Holy
Grail as Christ's cup from the Last Supper, which was believed to
have been endowed with miraculous healing powers and the ability to
give eternal life to whoever drank from it. A much earlier
tradition, however, claimed the Grail was the vessel used by Mary
Magdalene to collect Christ's blood when he appeared to her after
rising from the tomb. While many vessels were claimed to have been
the true Grail, there was only one thought to have been the chalice
used by Mary. From Jesus's empty tomb, where it remained for almost
400 years, this holy relic known as the Marian Chalice was taken to
Rome by the mother of the first Christian emperor, Constantine the
Great. It was then smuggled from Rome in A.D. 410, according to the
fifth-century historian Olympiodorus, to save it from the
barbarians who sacked the city. Well into the Middle Ages legend
persisted that it had been taken to safety in Britain, the last
outpost of Roman civilization in Western Europe. This journey to
England, and what happened to the Chalice there, is the focus of
this book. Graham Phillips's research uncovers the secret legacy of
an ancient noble family and a trail of clues hidden in the English
countryside that lead to a mysterious grotto, a forgotten attic,
and the lost chalice. In tracing the relic, Phillips offers the
inside story behind an astonishing adventure that results in the
identification of the historical King Arthur and the location of
one of themost powerful symbols in Western tradition. GRAHAM
PHILLIPS has been investigating historical mysteries for twenty
years. The author of Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt, The
Shakespeare Conspiracy, and The Moses Legacy, he lives in England.
