Yes, it is serious and this is a major mistake. How about:
"Arthur being mortally wounded at Camlann: no, how about Arthur being
killed in America by Native Americans, and his body brought back to
Wales for burial. "
Now, this is what I'd call a deep insight. Goes beautifully with the
Minnessota Vikings and
KRS conspiracy. Actually, not so long ago there was a discussion (on
SHM) of the
fighting options of the Vikings (close enough to Arthur & Co) and the
Native Americans with
one side strongly arguing in a favor of the stone weapons. IIRC,
everybody agreed to a
suggestion that if the invaders had time to open a brewery/distillery
and introduce the natives to
the advantages of the distilled liquids, there would be no fighting
whatsoever. In a view of
this conclusion, I'd assume that Arthur had been killed before this was
done or, perhaps
because he was trying to keep store closed on Sundays.
"Why do many regions in the UK claim Arthur? Because there were two
Arthurs, who fought at separate times and in separate places. "
Probably this means that there was more than two Arthurs, one per
claiming region....
"Arthur ll's cousin Madoc Morfran then journeyed to the USA
[Now, it looks like the readers are a little bit confused on identity
of a person who went to
the USA so it is not unreasonable to assume that actually this was
Winston Churchill]
in the 6th Century
[I always was suspicious about all these stories of Boston Tea Party,
American
Revolution and especially about French cooperation (who would believe
_this_) so 6th
century is OK by me]
and vast amounts of evidence are provided for the reader in this
respect."
Which clearly points to WC being 'real' Arthur: a lot of information
about his visits to the
USA.
"I read the book in amazement. This wasn't what those boring tutors had
taught me at school. It wasn't what my Priest told me in church....
[I'm really impressed with the British system of education: it should
be really hard to teach
someone _that_ stupid to read and write]
....Away from the digital playground I went to my local library to see
if what Berkley writes is true; that my history has been perverted,
altered, done away with and destroyed. Sadly and surprisingly, what he
says is true "
It would be probably pointless to ask this stupid cow _how_ did she
discovered the Truth.
My suspicion is that, when in the library she was hit on a head by a
book falling from the
shelf (or by a librarian who lost patience) and after this the Truth
was revealed to her...
"These stones and ruins can be seen by anyone who comes to Wales, -
I've checked, - yet the english establishment, which has forced english
language and history onto the Welsh, and denied their own history and
language for centuries, persist in knocking Wilson and Blackett. "
And the Truth is that it is all a malicious plot of the Perfidious
Albion. Probably arranged by
the Victorians...
