The Myths of History
© Copyright 2013 MJ COSTA, All rights reserved
There are Scholars (PhD people) who want you to believe that
Mythical Persons of History and Literature are real. Take King Arthur for instance. His fabled Sword Excalibur was said to be
found in a stone, that once removed shall make one King of England (etc.). This story was actually based on Alexander
the Great and the Gordian Knot, whereby if the Great Knot was undone the person
would be Ruler of all Asia. Alexander
inserted his sword and untied the knot or by cutting it. Alexander went on to Conquer the Persian
Empire. Arthur was said to be based on a Welsh King.
Another Example was the Trojan Horse of Homer’s Odyssey. It was a large empty horse structure given as
a gift to the soldiers of Troy; hidden inside were soldiers waiting to be released
when opened at night so they could infiltrate the enemy camp. This was based on Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose 3
during the Battle of Megiddo, whereby he had fruit baskets brought inside the
enemy camp, containing his soldiers. He later
conquered Megiddo after a long siege.
