Sumer 1

It is the oldest language and cultre (known) to mankind. It is older even than the ancient Egyptian heiroglyphics. The pictures in stone of rockets from/to the sky, men with masks as if they were breathing appratises. They are also the first to hve an alien deity (from outter space). Large eyed depicted-like an owl-stone or clay figures. The lexicon has not entirely been decifered even after all these centuries.

When Sumer's language died out, Akkadian took its place and became the oldest written language. Sumerian has never become an international language, though it is believed that there were several dialects. There is no clear deffinition between nouns and verbs. There are 16 consonants: g h k l m p r s t z to name a few and four vowels: a i e u.

Sumer has 4 historical periods: Archaic, Old or Classical, New and Post

Archaic: Before 3100 to around 2500BC. Cuneiformtexts from business and administrations, as well as school texts. Structures and vocabulary of archaic Sumerian is still known, due to challenges with too few recourses.
Old or Classical: around 2500 until2300 BC.  Lots of sources available here. Frist  rulers of Lagash. Business, law, administration and even private inscriptions. Reconstruction of grammar and vocab of old Sumerian.
New: around 2300 until 2000BC. Akkadian gained ground. The Sumerian language became spoken only in Sumer Proper. During Dynasty of Ur, Sumerian returned as the main language of that region, when in 2000BC new people came into the region mainly as Amorites and established the powers of Mesopotamia, their language, Amorite, became the state language.
Post: This variant of Sumerian is really the dying phase of New Sumerian but it would take about 2000 years. Became a writtn language only in cuneiform writing. While their language was dying, this period is the most productive and many old texts were written down first now. Sumerian would gain an importance and status not too different for long has engjoyed in Europe. Even in the beginning of the 4thCBC Sumerian text would be transcribed by scholars in Greek letters.

High Religion

An established  axis of the society. Unique temple structures. Priest responsibilities.

Private Religion

Continued into the level of family and individual, leaving the dealings with the main gods to the religous and political elite. The ordinary men and women revered their special gods and acted out their specific rituals. The High and Private might mingle through annual ceremonies.

Consepts of Gods

There were numereous gods. A city had its own central god, different from the others though certain deities were shared, often at an elevated position, no system was ever developed for a coexistence of the city gods. Gods were revered through man-like status. To each god was attributed important powers. The highest of Sumerian gods was An, who represented Heaven. His wife Ki represented the earth. The highest god below them was Enki at Eridu, Enlil at Nippur, and Innanna at Uruk.. Other gods were Utu at Sippar and Nanna at Ur.

Concept of Man

Myths told that man was created by the gods out of clay with the purpose to serve them (the gods).
There was a clear symbiosis between man and god.. Gods controled human fate. Humans-especially leaders, were in charge of keeping the gods happy.

Mordred1

Legend has it that he is the inbred, illegitimate son of King Arthur Pendragon and his sister. Some stories show that the two had no idea it was th other they slept with, while others depict his sister as a devious woman who used him as vengane against Arthur for 'stealing the crown'. One in particular depicts Mordred as one of the knights of the Round Table who served Arthur, loved him, and was cast out for revealing the traitorous Queen for having a love affair with Knight Lancelot.

The Wikipedia tells Mordred as a traitor that fought nd killd Arthur at the Battle of Camlann. It also says that he was the legitimat son of Arthur's sister Morgause (Morgan) and her husband King Lot of Orkney.

One story tells of Morgause mistaking Arthur for her husband one night.

Arthur raped his sister out of unignorable lust.

The child is born on May Day and grows to kill Arthur. Arthur has all May Day babes rounded up and carted off on a ship that sinks and is the only child to survive. He's rescued and eventually returned to his parents.

He's also portrayed more as a conflicted oppertunist, victim of fate.

APPEARANCES

Dante's Inferno - lowest circle of Hell

14thC. claims Mordred as rightful heir to the throne, Arthur being the illegitimate child. Mordred being the son of Lot and Morause and Arthur and Gawain as traitors who stole the throne from Mordred.

Arthur = strife and war
Mordred = joy and bliss

MISTS OF AVALON

Morgan le Fay is Mordred's mother (Morgause's sister). Mordred is a villian.

2008 episode of The Beginning of the End (tv series Merlin)
Mordred appears as a young druid boy Merlin protects even though he was warned that he'd kill Arthur in the future.

Dead Mordred

WILLIAM FULFORD

Ah woe is me! here lies my brother slain,
   The spear-head broken in his brain.

A hundred knights, with vassals at command,
   We rode to spoil Sir Mordred's land.

All day we rode and ravaged at our will,
   Marvelling what kept the foe so still.

We ravaged till the sun went down; but then
   The plain was thick with steeds and men.

We saw Sir Mordred sallying from his tower,
   With knights and vassals twice our power.

Fast were we spurring for our castle-gate;
   But loud he challenged us to wait.

We turn'd; we stood: they gallop'd up amain:
   Soon shower'd the blows like winter rain.

Sir Mordred singled out my brother dear;
   He spurr'd; I watch'd the flying spear.

I cried with pain amid the battle's din
   To see the cursed steel strike in.

I couch'd my lance at Mordred, but in vain:
   The spear struck well, but burst in twain.

I drew my sword: on ringing helm and mail
   Our blows rain'd furious as the hail.

Then, grasping fierce the hilt with either hand,
   We smote together, brand with brand.

His falchion shiver'd on my stout mailcoat:
   I drove my good sword through his throat.

I felt the steel split the rent mail in twain;
   I turn'd and smote the cleft again.

(I look'd beneath me as I aim'd the blow,
   And saw my brother dead below.)

Right through and through the throat the good sword sped:
   He writhed--he reel'd--he fell down dead.

One fiery thought of vengeance and of pride,
   And then I knelt by Edward's side.

I took his hand; I kiss'd his cheek: in vain!
   Dead, dead! he will not speak again.

And I may ride and ride the wide world through,
   And find no knight so dear and true.

Sir Mordred's vassals and his knights are fled,
   But I still watch my brother dead.

My brother, O my brother! had I died,
   Thou slain my slayer by my side!

For I may ride and ride afar and near,
   But find no knight so true and dear.

Poem of Mordred 1

Time Line 1

33-37 AD - Christianity is said, by Gildas, to have come to Britain sometime during the latter part of the reign of Tiberius Caesar who ruled from 14-37 AD:

Meanwhile these islands, stiff with cold and frost, and in a distant region of the world, remote from the visible sun, received the beams of light, that is, the holy precepts of Christ, the true Sun, showing to the whole world his splendour, not only from the temporal firmament, but from the height of heaven, which surpasses every thing temporal, at the latter part, as we know, of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, by whom his religion was propagated without impediment, and death threatened to those who interfered with Its professors.

And, since Joseph of Arimathea is often credited with being the one who first introduced Christianity to Britain, then it is not too far-fetched to assume that the two must've arrived together. Christ is believed to have been crucified in 32 AD and allowing a year as a minimum time to organize and launch a mission, then Joseph could have come to Britain, at the very earliest, in 33 AD or at the latest, 37 AD. This assumes, of course, that Gildas can be trusted on this point. We report this not to suggest that it is true, merely to include it in the record for completeness.
63 - Joseph of Arimathea came to Glastonbury on the first Christian mission to Britain. Legend says that he brought with him the Holy Grail, which was either a cup/bowl or two "cruets" thought to contain the blood and sweat of the crucified Christ.


184 - Lucius Artorius Castus, commander of a detachment of Sarmatian conscripts stationed in Britain, led his troops to Gaul to quell a rebellion. This is the first appearance of the name, Artorius, in history and some believe that this Roman military man is the original, or basis, for the Arthurian legend. The theory says that Castus' exploits in Gaul, at the head of a contingent of mounted troops, are the basis for later, similar traditions about "King Arthur," and, further, that the name "Artorius" became a title, or honorific, which was ascribed to a famous warrior in the fifth century.


383 - Magnus Maximus (Macsen Wledig), a Spaniard, was proclaimed Emperor in Britain by the island's Roman garrison. With an army of British volunteers, he quickly conquered Gaul, Spain and Italy.


388 - Maximus occupied Rome itself. Theodosius, the eastern Emperor, defeated him in battle and beheaded him in July, 388, with many of the remnant of Maximus' troops settling in Armorica. The net result to Britain was the loss of many valuable troops needed for the island's defense (the "first migration").


395 - Theodosius, the last emperor to rule an undivided empire, died, leaving his one son, Arcadius, emperor in the East and his other son, the young Honorius, emperor in the West. At this point the office of Roman Emperor changed from a position of absolute power to one of being merely a head of state.


396 - The Roman general, Stilicho, acting as regent in the western empire during Honorius' minority, reorganized British defenses decimated by the Magnus Maximus debacle. Began transfer of military authority from Roman commanders to local British chieftains.


397 - The Roman commander, Stilicho, comes to Britain and repels an attack by Picts, Irish and Saxons.


402 - Events on the continent force Stilicho to recall one of the two British legions to assist with the defense of Italy against Alaric and the Visigoths. The recalled legion, known as the Sixth Victrix, was said by Claudian (in "De Bello Gallico," 416) to be "that legion which is stretched before the remoter Britons, which curbs the Scot, and gazes on the tattoo-marks on the pale face of the dying Pict." The barbarians were defeated, this time, at battle of Pollentia.


403 - Victricius, Bishop of Rouen, visited Britain for the purpose of bringing peace to the island's clergy, who were in the midst of a dispute, possibly over the Pelagian heresy.


405 - The British troops, which had been recalled to assist Stilicho, were never returned to Britain as they had to stay in Italy to fight off another, deeper penetration by the barbarian chieftain, Radagaisus.


406 - In early January, 406, a combined barbarian force (Suevi, Alans, Vandals & Burgundians) swept into central Gaul, severing contact between Rome and Britain. In autumn 406, the remaining Roman army in Britain decided to mutiny. One Marcus was proclaimed emperor in Britain, but was immediately assassinated.


407 - In place of the assassinated Marcus, Gratian was elevated "to the purple," but lasted only four months. Constantine III was hailed as the new emperor by Roman garrison in Britian. He proceeded to follow the example of Magnus Maximus by withdrawing the remaining Roman legion, the Second Augusta, and crossing over into Gaul to rally support for his cause. Constantine's departure could be what Nennius called "the end of the Roman Empire in Britain. . ."


408 - With both Roman legions withdrawn, Britain endures devastating attacks by the Picts, Scots and Saxons.


409 - Prosper, in his chronicle, says, "in the fifteenth year of Honorius and Arcadius (409), on account of the languishing state of the Romans, the strength of the Britons was brought to a desperate pass." Under enormous pressure, Britons take matters into their own hands, expelling weak Roman officials and fighting for themselves.


410 - Britain gains "independence" from Rome. The Goths, under Alaric, sack Rome.


413 - Pelagian heresy said to have begun, by Prosper (Tiro) of Aquitaine in his "Chronicle."


420-30 - Pelagian heresy outlawed in Rome (418), but in Britain, enjoys much support from "pro-Celtic" faction. Traditionalists (pro-Romans) support Roman church. During this time, according to Prosper, Britain is ruled by petty "tyrants."


429 - At the request of Palladius, a British deacon, Pope Celestine I dispatches bishops Germanus of Auxerre and Lupus of Troyes to Britain to combat Pelagian heresy. While in Britain, Germanus, a former military man, leads Britons to "Hallelujah" victory in Wales.


c.438 - Probable birth of Ambrosius Aurelianus, scion of the leading Romano-British family on the island.


c.440-50 - Period of civil war and famine in Britain, caused by ruling council's weakness and inability to deal with Pictish invasions; situation aggravated by tensions between Pelagian/Roman factions. Vacated towns and cities in ruin. Migration of pro-Roman citizens toward west. Country beginning to be divided, geographically, along factional lines.


c.441 - Gallic Chronicle records, prematurely, that "Britain, abandoned by the Romans, passed into the power of the Saxons."


c.445 - Vortigern comes to power in Britain.


446 - Britons (probably the pro-Roman party) appeal to Aetius, Roman governor of Gaul, for military assistance in their struggle against the Picts and the Irish (Scots). No help could be sent, at this time, as Aetius had his hands full with Attila the Hun.


c.446 - Vortigern authorizes the use of Saxon mercenaries, known as foederati, for the defense of the northern parts against barbarian attack. To guard against further Irish incursions, Cunedda and his sons are moved from Manau Gododdin in northern Britain to northwest Wales.


447 - Second visit of St. Germanus (this time accompanied by Severus, Bishop of Trier) to Britain. Was this visit spiritually motivated, to combat a revived Pelagian threat or was Germanus sent in Aetius' stead, to do whatever he could to help the desperate Britons?


c.447 - Britons, aroused to heroic effort, "inflicted a massacre" on their enemies, the Picts and Irish, and were left in peace, for a brief time. Could this heroic effort have been led, again, by St. Germanus?


c.448 - Death of St. Germanus in Ravenna. Civil war and plague ravage Britain.


c.450 - In the first year of Marcian and Valentinian, Hengest arrives on shores of Britain with "3 keels" of warriors, and are welcomed by Vortigern. This event is known in Latin as the "adventus Saxonum," the coming of the Saxons.


c.452 - Increasing Saxon settlement in Britain. Hengest invites his son, Octha, from Germany with "16 keels" of warriors, who occupy the northern lands, to defend against the Picts. Picts never heard from, again.


c.453 - Increasing Saxon unrest. Raids on British towns and cities becoming more frequent.


c.456 - Geoffrey of Monmouth tells us of a probably fictitious, but entirely believable event in which Saxons massacre 300 leading British noblemen at phony "peace" conference. Ambrosius' father, possibly the leader of the pro-Roman faction, may have been killed either during the Saxon uprising or this massacre.


c.457 - Death of Vortigern. Vitalinus (Guitolinus) new leader of pro-Celtic Pelagian faction. Battle of Aylesford (Kent) in which Ambrosius, along with sons of Vortigern, Vortimer and Cateyrn, defeat Hengest for the first time.


c.458 - Saxon uprising in full-swing. Hengest finally conquers Kent, in southeastern Britain.


c.458-60 - Full-scale migration of British aristocrats and city-dwellers across the English Channel to Brittany, in northwestern Gaul (the "second migration"). British contingent led by Riothamus (perhaps a title, not a name), thought by some to be the original figure behind the legends of Arthur.


c.460-70 - Ambrosius Aurelianus takes full control of pro-Roman faction and British resistance effort; leads Britons in years of back-and-forth fighting with Saxons. British strategy seems to have been to allow Saxon landings and to then contain them, there.


c.465 - Arthur probably born around this time.


c.466 - Battle of Wippedesfleot, in which Saxons defeat Britons, but with great slaughter on both sides. Mutual "disgust and sorrow" results in a respite from fighting "for a long time."


c.466-73 - Period of minimal Saxon activity. Refortification of ancient hillforts and construction of the Wansdyke possibly takes place during this time.


c.469 - Roman emperor, Anthemius, appeals to Britons for military help against the Visigoths. Reliable accounts by Sidonius Apolonaris and Jordanes name the leader of the 12,000 man British force, Riothamus. The bulk of the British force was wiped out in battle against Euric, the Visigothic king, and the survivors, including Riothamus, vanished and were never heard from, again.


c.470 - Battle of Wallop (Hampshire) where Ambrosius defeats Vitalinus, head of the opposing faction. Ambrosius assumes High-kingship of Britain.


473 - Men of Kent, under Hengest, move westward, driving Britons back before them "as one flees fire."


477 - Saxon chieftain, Aelle, lands on Sussex coast with his sons. Britons engage him upon landing but his superior force drives them into the forest (Weald). Over next nine years, Saxon coastal holdings are gradually expanded in Sussex.


c.480 - "Vita Germani," the Life of St. Germanus, written by a continental biographer, Constantius.


c.485-96 - Period of Arthur's "twelve battles" during which he gains reputation for invincibility.


486 - Aelle and his sons overreach their normal territory and are engaged by Britons at battle of Mercredesburne. Battle is bloody, but indecisive, and ends with both sides pledging friendship.


c.490 - Hengest dies. His son, Aesc, takes over and rules for 34 years.


c.495 - Cerdic and Cynric, his son, land somewhere on the south coast, probably near the Hampshire-Dorset border.


c.496 - Britons, under overall command of Ambrosius and battlefield command of the "war leader" Arthur, defeat Saxons at the Siege of Mount Badon.


c.496-550 - Following the victory at Mt. Badon, the Saxon advance is halted with the invaders returning to their own enclaves. A generation of peace ensues. Corrupt leadership, more civil turmoil, public forgetfulness and individual apathy further erode Romano-British culture over next fifty years, making Britain ripe for final Saxon "picking."


c.501 - The Battle of Llongborth (probably Portsmouth), where a great British chieftain, Geraint, King of Dumnonia, was killed. Arthur is mentioned in a Welsh poem commemorating the battle.


508 - Cerdic begins to move inland and defeats British king Natanleod near present-day Southampton.


c.515 - Death of Aelle. Kingdom of Sussex passed to his son, Cissa and his descendents, but over time, diminished into insignificance.


519 - Kingdom of the West Saxons (Wessex) founded with Cerdic its first ruler.


c.530-40 - Mass migration of Celtic monks to Brittany (the "third migration").


534 - Death of Cerdic. Cynric takes kingship of Wessex.


c.540 - Probable writing of Gildas' "De Excidio Britanniae."


c.542 - Battle of Camlann, according to Annales Cambriae. Death (or unspecified other demise) of Arthur (according to Geoffrey of Monmouth).


c.547 - "Yellow" Plague hits British territories, causing many deaths. Ireland also affected. Saxons, for whatever reason, are unaffected by it.


c.570 - Probable death of Gildas.


c.600 - Welsh bard, Aneirin, writes poem, Y Gododdin, alluding to Arthur's prowess as a warrior.


c.600-700 - Original Welsh triads probably composed; only later, medieval collections survive.


c.830 - Nennius compiles Historia Brittonum.


c.890 - Compilation of Anglo Saxon Chronicle is begun, perhaps at the direction of Alfred the Great.


c.970 - Annales Cambriae compiled.


c.1019 - Earliest possible date of composition for the Legend of St. Goeznovius, a Breton legend, which, in its preface, mentions Arthur and calls him the King of the Britons. Date is disputed as some scholars think this legend should be dated later than Geoffrey of Monmouth.


c.1090 - Professional hagiographers, such as Caradoc of Llancarfan, Lifris and others, write various saints lives, some (St. Gildas, St. Padarn, St. Cadog, St. Iltud) include mentions of Arthur and his exploits.

Merlin 2

A most obscure period in Brit history details come from the epoch of 410 (Roman evacuation of Britain) to the close of the 6thC. There are three facts within the epoch clearly:
1.There is the aggression of the Teutons and the pressing of the Celts westwards to the country known as Devon, Cornwall, Wales, the English Lake District, and a stretch of land northwards along a certain line to the rock Alcluith, or Dunbarton.
2.There is the splitting up even of this retreat of the Celts by the battle of Deorham, in 580, gained by Ceawlin. The result of this battle was the severance of th Celts south of the Severn from those of the north - briefly, Cornwall from Wales.
3.There is the second severance of the Celts by the battle of Chester, in 617, when they were defeated by Athelfrith, King of Northumbria.

The uniformity of the Cymric line of power broke; continued in is dated states, rendered impossible. A constant struggle between Celts and Teutons. A patriotic story. Names chiefly given:

Vortigern

Aurelius

Ambrosianus

Myrdin Emrys / Merlin Ambrosius

Uther Pendragon

Arthur

Merlinus Caledonius (known as Silvestris, or the Wylt)

Merlin's been a historical figure in the back of Britain's minds...

Vortigen and Aurelius Ambrosianus beyond burning of Uriconium - 410 to 583 - whispers of a name: Merlin. M associated with V; he's his vates, standing in the same relation to Aurelius Ambrosianus, friend of Uther, the one who presides over Arthur's birth. Friend and associate of Gwenddoleu, who fell at that great battle of 573's Ardderyd. Also said that he had been met by Kentigern within the wilds of Drummelsier, on the Tweed, in the wood of Caledon. Apparently, Merlin had gone by the name Laloicen, as being present at the court of Rydderch Hael, the king of Strathclyde, who'd died the same year as Kentigern in 603 or 614.

His other names used are:

Ninian

Ketigern or Columba

Merlin was at Ardderyd, not the Merlin or Myrddin the Bard, enchanter or Ambrosianus. But Vortigen could have been the original Merlin, the enchanter. A guy who died in 623 (or later) as it shows from the "Avallenau", not born in 470 or 480.
There were two Merlins. The latter one is who some believe was the true Merlin. While a third wholly legendary Merlin arose in the imagination of romantics of the 11C.
Merlin, the vates of Ambrosianus is called Myrdyn Emrys or Merlnus Ambrosius named by the Welsh Merlinus Caledonius, Silvestris, Wyk, or the Wild.

ME - born of a nun or vestal virgin and an incubus or spirit of the air.
By St. Augustine : the word 'Myrdin' (or Merlin) indicates this decent.
Merlin C had no such origins; said clearly reguarded as the son of Madog Morvryn, descendant of the great Cymric family, founded of the man Coel Godebawc, closely related to historically famous Urien Reged.
Merlin did have twin sister. Constantly associated with him in sufferings and poetry; sepperating to mark him off from Merlin Ambrosius.

First historical kingdom in the Valleys of the Clyde and Upper Tweeddale - a haunter of Coed Celydon/Wood of Caledon.

ME had been mistaken for King Aurelius Ambrosianus. It would appear that he has Roman descent, Romanized Britain; mother, a vistal virgin.

Around 617, the anhialation(?) of the semi-pagan party.

DEATH OF MERLIN

In the Wood of Caledon is where Merlin supposedly met his mortal doom at the hands (stones2) and clubs of Meldred's servents-Prince of the place. It's said that Meldred had then thrown Merlin's body into the river.

He was sent out to sea in a ship of glass, and passed away, beyond the horizon, disappearing in light, never to be seen again.

Cornwall reguards him having been enclosed by the wiles of a woman in a craige on Cornwall coast.
He is shut in an enchanted bower or castle, whose walls, though of air, are to him of aclmant; and while the wily woman, his lover, can go in and out to him, he cannot stir. (she may very well be Nemue or Lady of the Lake. not sure yet.

Old Merlin's lying quietly in a cavern/hall beneithe the Eildons, along with Arthur and his knights, in an enchanted sleep, from, when it's finaly broken some day by a vigerous bugle-blast, (sounds like the angels blowing thier horns when one of the Christian seals is broken) they will emerge to restore the Cymri, and redress the disorders of the world.

Merlin worshiped "fountains, woods, stones, etc." Interogated the stars, and gave himself up to the magickal practices of the time-forbidden by Councils and punished by the Church. If he was baptized, it made him Chritian only by name. Merlin was basically a bard, seer, 'reflection of his age.'

He spoke/wrote (bitterly) of priests, monks, and bishops. Called it the evil of the country, he'd very much appeared lovingly in his worship of nature.

Quite the poet this man was. They show his love and happiness in and about the woods, particularly Apple trees. He ais of birdsin his words:

"Listen to birds whose notes are pleasant. O, little pig! Hear thou the melody and chirping of birds by Caer Reon."

Merlin 1

Black was never considered a Druidic color.



Story tells that Merlyn was the man born of unknown origin (or mere magick) who was King Arthur's visier, also his reason for birth. It is also depicted in early stories of him being changed away from mankind and fled to the forest after a war he witnessed. A man who gained and lost consistantly throughout life.

Doctrines of Druidism were written by Christian monks that distorted or lost its history of memory on the Priesthood. The Patriarchal systems tend to be male while Matriarchies were female. Thus Dryad is also reguarded to female shamans in the Pheryllt and the Greeks use male to Druidai and female Dryadae.
The earliest known depiction of this magickal man comes from Geoffrey in year 1136 based on an amalgamation of previous historical and legendary figures. Later tales expand to Merlyn the Wizard. He's said to have been born a cambion born of mortal mother and sired by an incubus, who he inherited his supernatural powers and abilities. He grows to ascendant Sagehood and brings about the birth of Arthur. He is his advisor until (as some say) he falls bewitched and imprisoned by the Lady of the Lake.

Merlin derives from welsh Myrddin, the name of the bard Myrddin Wyllt, one of the chief sources for the later legendary figure. Geoffrey of Monmouth Latinized the name to Merlinus. Gaston Paris told Geof that Merlinus was a better choice over the regular Merdinus to avoid Anglo-Norman word Merde, for faeces.
Carmarthen derives from the town's previous Roman name, Moridunum.
Geof's Merlin is primarily based on Myrddin Wyllt (AKA Merlinus). Caledonensis, and Aurelius Ambrosius, mostly a fictionalized version of historical  war leader Ambrosius Aurelianus. The former had none to do with Arthur and lived AFTER Arthurian period. Lore states that he fled civilization to become a 'wild man of the wood' in the 6th C.
Geof knew this when he composed Prophecies Merlini (Prophocies of Merlin), which he swore werer the mans actual words.
King Vortigern's tower fell each time it was rebuilt before it was done and wisemen told him to sprinkle its fouondation of a child without being born of a father. Ambrosius was rumored to be that child and when presented to KV, he told him why his tower continuously fell:
Beniethe the foundation was a lake which contained two dragons that destroyed the tower by fighting. One Red, the other white.

The White Dragon = Saxons

The Red Dragon = British

Geoffrey's Merlin is begotten on a kings daughter by an incubus.

Their final battle is a portent of things to come. Merlin creates stonehenge, a burial site for Aurelius Ambrosius.
Merlin transforms Uther Pendragon to look like Igraine's husband and enters Tintagel, the enemy. Here, he fathers Arthur with Igraine.

Lewis Thorpe notes that Merlin disappears and does not tutor/advise Arthur Robert de Boron portrays Merlin begotten by a devil on a virgin as an intended Antichrist. The plots foiled when the expecting mother informs her confessor Blaise of the problem and they immediately baptize the boy at birth, freeing him from the powers of Satan. RdeB gives his Merlin character the abilty shapeshift.

A re-write in the 12thC. consisting of the Holy Grail brought from the Middle East back to Britain by followers of Joseph of Arimathea and the HG is recovered by Arthur's knight Percival.

Described to be found in the forest of Northumberland by a follower of Uther's disguised as an ugly man tending to a herd. Then appears as a handsome man and later a beautiful boy. Years later he approaches Arthur as a peasant, described as tall, black and bristly, and as seeiming cruel and fierce. He finaly appears as an old man with a long beard, short with hunchback, in old blothes, carrying a club to drive beasts away.

Gwenddydd is Merlin's twin sister. He's also said to have four brothers.

Grandson of King of Demetia (Dyved) It is said that Nemue wasn't a normal mortal in which Merlin fell in love with. Rumor has it that he was imprisoned by the lady of the Lake and she had him teach her his magicks and he ended up falling in love with her.

Merlin is also said to have transported the stones of Stonehenge. Some say it was from Ireland. Some say he had nothing to do with (associated) Arthur.

Either way, he was popular in the Middle Ages.

In the Idllys of the King, Tennyson makes him the creator of Camelot. Mark Twain makes him out as a villian with a picture where Merlin has Tennyson's face.

Odin's Rune Song

I know that I hung on a windy tree nine long nights,
wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin, myself to myself,
on that tree of which no man knows from where its roots run.

No bread did they give me nor a drink from a horn, downward I peered;
I took up the runes, screaming I took them, then I fell back from there.

Legend says this is the final resting place of Arthur + Morgan Le Fay
This is where Caliburn (AKA Excalibur) was forged. That enchantress Morgan Le Fay is the chief of 9 sisters who live on Avalon. A sea voyage was needed to get there.
Legend has it that when Arthur was gone, brought to Avalon or buried on Brit land, Merlin, in sorrow, disappointment, grief, anger, he took Avalon, and Camelot and vanished. They have not been seen since. Part of legend says that Camelot was in fact created by Merlin, therefore, took the enchanting city as he saw fit.
Some stories say that Morgause and Morgred occupied this place for a time while her belly, feeling betrayed by Merlin and Vivian. She may and may not have gone there if that was an exact case, but to one of her aunts islands.

Atlantis 1

1THE ROYAL FAMILY
Amma - In Yoruba and Benin traditions, she was among the few royal survivors of a great flood when the Atlantic Ocean overflowed very long ago. Amma arrived safely on the shores of West Africa, where she became the first ruler.
Ampheres - One of the 10 original Atlantean kings listed by Plato (in Kritias). his name means 'he who encompasses' or 'fitted or joined on both sides', suggestive of a power center located midway between Western Europe and the Outer Continent of the Americas, such as the Azore Islands, where possible Atlantean remains have been found. Ampheres might be linked to the amphora, or drinking vessel of King Gradlon, kings of the Y's, in Brittany's pre-Christian tradition of a sunked island.

According to the 'Kritias' there were 'numerous elephants' on Atlantis. Apparently Atlanteans used to have elephants and used ivory quite a bit. A 1967 issue of 'Science' magazine reported the discovery of elephant teeth from the Atlantic Continental Shelf running 200-300 miles off the Portuguese coast.
Many specimens were recovered from at least 40 multipule underwater sites along the Azore-Gibraltar Ridge, some at depths up to 360 feet. Tusks were taken from submerged shorelines, peat deposits, sand banks, crashing against ancient, long submerged beach-lines and depressions that formerly contained freshwater lagoons.

Job 26 : 5-6

"The primeval giants tremble imprisoned beneath the waters with thier inhabitants. The unseen world [the bottom of the sea] lies open before them, and the place of destruction is uncovered."

OLD TESTAMENT
Genesis 10 : 2

The sons of Japheth : Gomer, and Magog, and Madai and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

Deuteronomy 2 : 11

NEW TESTAMENT
Revelaton 20 : 8

And will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corneres of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.

Camelot 1

It is said to have been the home kingdom of the great King Arthur and his harlot Queen Guinevere. Its earliest apprearance is in 12C. France romances. A symbol of Arthurian times. Legend has it in Britain, sometimes with real cities-its prcise location is never revealed, though.
Some arguments say that the real Camelot was in the 15C.  and continued to rage today in ppular works and for tourism purposes. (There's also a Camelot theme park). Its first meantioned in Chretien de Troyes' poem Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart dating to the 1170s. Chretien believed Arthur's chief court was in Caerleon in Wales.
13 C. popularized Camelot.
Yet, it was also said that the image of Camelot was created by Thomas Malory in the 15 C.
English historians of the institutions study of the Roman Empire and the sub-Roman Britain suggests The Age of Arthur that of descendants of Romanized Britons looked back to a golden age of peace and harmony under Rome. ----Some claim that it never exsisted at all!
Its name may bave been taken from Roman Camulodunum = king "Fort of Camulos" - an ancient British war-god. Also to have been noted as Cadbury Castle for Arthur. Excavations between 1966 and 1970 confirm that it was refortified in the King Arthur era and was used by a powerful leader and followers of his.

LESS SUBSTANTIAL CLAIMS
Tennyson's description in 'The Lady of Shalott' as 'many tower's Camelot' is more complex sites that include to be Camelot are:

Cadbury Castle

Castle Killbury

Caerlon

Winchester

Viroconium

Rough Castle

Camelot's more complex. In Tennyson's 'Gareth and Ldylls' in there of the king where it is describes a city built to music.

Excavation of 1966-1970 showed a confirm values of Camelot.

"Camelot was never meant to be a consillation. A consitllation is perminent. .. Camelot was meant to be a brief sojourn of earth, to give us a glimpse of what mankind could aspire to. It set an example for us. ... The concepts and ideals established by King Arthur's Round Table were remembered in the hearts of men long after Camelot was no more."
