King Arthur is a myth ~ probably based on some vague figure who surely did not have a wizard casting spells for him.

The Arthurian mythic image does have excellent pathos and tragedy ~ the Once and Future King ~ very familiar plot, but with superior romance.</strong>

Thanks for the Vedas link.

Writings being preserved tells us about their value to those who they belong to more than it tells us about whether they are true, I suppose.

Of course it doesn't, but are you suggesting that seeking the "truth" is an exuse for abandoning rationality?
