Though I'm impressed with what science and technology has accomplished, I'm also thankful for what they've NOT discovered. Case in point: The Arthur Legend - A recent slab of stone discovered near the old Tintagel castle in England contained the word "Artur" (or something like it) and so rekindled interest in this dusty old story. I hope that's all they find on this subject. Uncovering only tiny bits of evidence allows our imaginations to take over, and I think we need this from time to time. The Arthur legend may be nothing more than a silly bedtime story, but I would be sad to find out exactly what (if anything) really happened all those centuries ago, especially if there were a logical explanation for everything in the story.
Sometimes less is more. 🙂

@mchill saidI was listening to a talk about this last night from GK Chesterton. I don’t recall the name, I want to say “Return of the future King”

@hakima saidI was just thinking the same thing!
“...when the legend becomes fact, print the legend...”
from “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence”
That's some incredibly good karma there my dear.
I remember that I heard Michael Wood quote that in one of his earliest doc's. A classic!
