Mythology gives way to ancient history.
King Arthur is a mystery. His story has been told by numerous generations, but it remais just a story. many of the ancient monuments you can visit across Cornwall now have Arthurian legends attached to them.
The story of King Arthur is perhaps the most exported. one version of the legend suggests that Arthur was a Cornishman and that Cornwall was his kingdom. The castle of Tintaqel is now associated with Arthur. it's true past forgotten.
We can say for certain that the term Arthur has become a collective name, absorbing stories of a hero of the ancient people and their rulers, forgotten kings and great warriors. Who were these ancient powers that have been consumed by the Arthurian legends we know today?
History suggests there were not many people here in prehistoric Cornwall & the early Stone Age. These forgotten folk grew over the centuries with migration for Europe, Ireland, Wales and the rest of the UK. Cornwall became divided into small kingdoms, each with their own rulers, deities faith and folktales.
Invaders came to conquer the UK, driving people from one area to another. The legends of their own heroes moved with them. Even the invastion of Julius Ceasar in 55 B.C. led to further stories of a hero which have since been devoured into modern Arthurian ficiton.
Cornwall has remained an outpost of ancient times; retatining much of its forgotten past in the ancient sities you can now visit.
We can get a glimpse at our forgotten kings and deities by looking at sities such as Lanyon Quoit found between penzance and Lands End. Modern myth tells us that King Arthur used the stone top as a dining table beofre his last battle. The Arthurian legend essentially desecrates this well-preserved burial chamber of one of our real ancient kings.
