Скачать или смотреть King Arthur Is Roman and Nobody Wants to Admit It

King Arthur — the sword in the stone, the Round Table, Camelot — is the most iconic symbol of British identity in history. Over a thousand years of books, movies, poems, and political propaganda. And almost every version of it gets one thing wrong.

Arthur wasn't British. He was Roman.

The evidence has been sitting in plain sight for a century, carved into actual stone, studied by actual scholars, and largely ignored by the version of history most people get. In this video, Alex Arnold follows the evidence from Julius Caesar's first landing in 55 BC through the fall of Roman Britain, the Anglo-Saxon migrations, the Viking settlements, and straight to the door of a real Roman military officer named Lucius Artorius Castus — the man whose name, cavalry command, and warrior legacy may be the historical seed of the greatest legend Britain ever claimed as its own.

Facts over feelings. Always.
