The Holy Kingdom - The Quest for the Real King Arthur
The Holy Kingdom: The Quest for the Real King Arthur – Adrian Gilbert, coauthor of the bestsellers The Orion Mystery and The Mayan Prophecies now turns in his latest book to one of the most popular subjects in the New Age movement –King Arthur. This explosive book uses ancient historical records to show that Britian was never fully conquered by the Romans but retained its culture, its royal families intermarrying with the Caesars. With the coming of Joseph Arimathea in A.D. 37, its kings became converts to Christianity and the island became the secret home of many of Jesus’ followers. Out of these crosswinds blowing from Rome and Judea emerged the Holy Kingdom that would eventually turn the whole Roman Empire to Christianity.
Yet the destiny of the Holy Kingdom did not end with the conversion of Rome. It led to a resistance movement which for a century or more held the forces responsible for the collapse of Europe in the Dark Ages. Two British kings, both named Arthur – one, Arthur I of Warwickshire, the fourth-century son of the emperor Magnus Maximus, the other his sixth-century descendant and a king of Glamorgan – stand out like beacons in a darkening world. Their careers rolled into one elaborated upon by the medieval poets, they became the single King Arthur of myth and legend. As a result of research going back forty years, the authors are able to reveal the location of the graves of both Arthurs, the burial place of the “true cross of Christ” and many other mysteries. This astounding book corrects the falsified notions of history perpetrated by earlier scholars to reveal a deeper and more exciting visions.
This edition includes incredible illustrations, maps, historical family trees, as well as a section of color research photographs in the middle, making this book a must have for anyone on a quest for Camelot or the Holy Grail.
