King Arthur
In the summer of 1998 a team of archaeologists digging at Tintagel in Cornwall, England, uncovered a 20 cm piece of slate. It had a few barely visible works scratched on it, yet it unleashed a wave of controversy. Could this be the final proof that the legendary King Arthur was not a myth, but a real king? Using archeology, literary expertise and analysis of the stories of King Arthur, this film uncovers the truth behind one of England's most heroic figures. Far from being a medieval king who ruled all England in a golden Age, it seem that if Arthur existed at all, he was a brutal but successful general living in Dark Age Britain. Location filming includes many sites associated with the legend of Arthur: Camelot, the Roman King Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, Cadbury Castle in Somerset and Tintagel in Cornwall. Scientific investigation of King Arthur's round table in Winchester reveals it to be a medieval fraud. But at least it seems that Arthur and Queen Guinevere were probably buried at Glastonbury Abbey, and deductions can be made from an artifact that Arthur's last journey to the Isle of Avalon really did happen.
