The basis of my post is an ancient celtic poem, detailing one of Arthurs "voyages"
It is called Preiddeu Annwn (Spoils of the In-world) and although most people accept it as a normal story and ignore the "supernatural" properties of the story i believe they support the case of stargates and indeed an under or "In-world"
i would just like to say that i have also done extensive research into the "underworld" theory and i agree with "Undo" completely, i was just wondering if you were aware of the stories i unearthed concerning King Arthur. An ancient welsh poem was written about arthur and his decision to go to the underworld to seek the holy grail (Then called simply"The Cauldron")
The way they start there voyage is most odd, and is what caught my attention. A man called Lleminawg sticks his sword into an artifact of some kind and a great light opens up from within, like a curtain of light the men pass through.
"My first song was of the cauldron itself,
for nine maidens kindled it with their breath -
Of what nature was it?
Pearls were about its rim,
it would not boil a cowards portion,
Lleminawg thrust his flashing sword
Deep within it;
And before dark gates, a light was lifted.
When we went with Arthur - a mighty labour -
Save only seven none returned from Caer Fedwydd."
He took a selection of his best men. And as the story goes they visited 7 cities (or were they) and at each place they met challenges which they had to overcome.
When they had travelled to one "city" they were met with a huge wall, lined with men.
"six thousand stood on its walls,
it was hard to speak with their leader."
The poem says that it was " hard" to communicate with the beings. They eventually spoke to Arthur, said for him to come up to them alone, for the others where not aloud.
The writer wrote, "only seven men returned that fatefull day"
My point is, did they go to different cities, countries or planets? As the writer says that his words are true, more so than any bards stories or rumours, as he was there. This is the second to last verse and the last verse of the poem.
"I merit more than empty bards,
Who know not the day, the hour, the moment,
When the chick was born,
Who have not journeyed
to the courts of heaven,
Who know nothing of the starry collared ox
With seven score links in its collar,
When we went with Arthur - that sorrowfull journey -
Save only seven, none returned from Manawyddans Caer.
I know more than the weak willed clerks,
Who know not the day of the kings birth,
Nor the nature of the beast they guard for him.
When we went with Arthur - lamentable day -
Save only seven, none returned from Caer Achren "
the reference to the starry collared ox is obviously Taurus with the pleiades on its collar. Why mention this, seven places, and seven score starry collared constellations in the court of heaven? Obviously its up for discussion, i just thought this was interesting as i had never seen or heard this discussed at all before. Also imprtant to note that the writer wrote historical accounts, not works of ficction or dragon slaying legends, very interesting.
I'll see if i can find a link to the poem although it is very hard to find, and it is important to remember that just because it is a "poem" does not mean it was fiction. Poems were simply the media that historians and writers used to keep records of tales and great events.
I have found sveral links to the poem but have all been translated much more "Liberally". The version i read was in a book called Arthur and The Grail Quest, written by John Matthews. It has the more traditional translation which does not replace words because they make more earthly sense, in short, it is translated as it was meant to be heard at the time.

So here goes, (and if you're here
to bash my religion I will not respond as this is a THEORY).
