The search for a lost kingdom reveals ancient evidence of a legendary king and his magical Merlin. A quest for truth discloses coded messages and images left by the masters that provide records of the Arthurians and their sacred sites, revealing keys to unlock the Secrets of the Grail. Tales of King Arthur and his illustrious kingdom called Camelot have inspired writers, historians, artists and musicians for over 1300 years. Were they real, historical individuals whose exploits were so amazing and whose characters were so exemplary that they became characters of legend? Or were they nothing but the product of myths and imagination...wishful thinking on the part of those who want to imagine and to believe in a better world than that in which they live? Following a decade of research, a Seattle writer and her husband, an architectural designer and professional photographer, set out on a journey that would take them from the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees and the mountains of Bavaria to ancient hill forts on the rolling hills of England and seaside caves and cliffs of Scotland, hoping to find evidence of a 5th and 6th century historical kingdom they believe was the source of the Arthurian legends. The search for the ancients quickly turned into another sort of journey...a quest to discover the truths behind the intriguing stories of the elusive Holy Grail. In the absorbing story of a personal quest, the book chronicles the couple's adventures and discloses the discoveries made in the borders area of Scotland and England as they sought to locate the sites of the ancients, following in the footsteps of King Arthur and his Merlin. Amazing photographs reveal the weathered images, ancient symbols and portraits that could help restore the lost Arthurians to their place in history by disclosing their real identities and discovering the truths about actual people, who for centuries have occupied the shadowy world of myth and legend.
