Druids and King Arthur: Early Britain Perspective
The book provides an exploration into the beliefs and origins of the Druids, examining their potential role in the story of King Arthur and the founding of Britain. It traces the origins of the Druids to eastern Europe around 850 B.C., where they brought a cult of an underworld deity, a belief in reincarnation, and a keen interest in astronomy to early Britain. The research draws upon a variety of sources, including medieval Welsh tales, the archaeology of Stonehenge's Salisbury Plain, the legends surrounding the founding of Britain, the cult of the Thracian Horseman, the oracle of Dodona, popular Arthurian mythology, and the basic principles of prehistoric astronomy. The work concludes that Arthur was originally a Druid cult figure and that the descendants of the Druids may have founded the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex.
