Who is the man on the right of the King watching as the King gets shot all to hell with 20 arrows protruding from his body, and what does the bowman on the
right have around his neck?

I would say it is quite possibly a Celtic warrior on horseback with a javelin/spear.
The question is, whether that artistic form is similar to whatever else has been found in England. It is obviously stylized. And I still think the tack on the horse is a good indication of where it came from. |

In reply to some of the questions.
if it were a little bit earlier in time i might be persuaded to think you to have a Hopewell on the helmet , but the time frame you gave is off a little bit . granted there were 500 nations in America by the time Columbus hit land so maybe the natives kinsman are unknown. but that style he is represented with is screaming south to me . keep posting these theroys any way and i will at least entertain the ideas. we have all heard the name Madoc before , but i do not agree with boren that he was the first Aztec king . Firstly, having researched into Welsh Inidan's which were exterminated as a result of the Spanish conquests and diseases they bought with them I have not been able to find anything that can be used as an illustration so maybe you might be able to find something in that area. The whole idea of the excercise was to bring these facts to you in hope others will follow up my research for your own satisfaction so bear with me. I was unaware of Boran's book and his claims about Madoc being their first king. I do not go along with that theory myself. Madoc was a Christian the same as other Britain's it its claimed the Welsh indians still practiced some for of Christianity and had bibles with them some of which may still to be found in America. I did not know the King Arthur was ever proved to have actually lived(I don't know much), also the man on the horse does not look like any red Indian I have ever known or seen any representation of(facial features look African, as well as the hair). What are the other plates on the helmet depicting? Arthur is heavily documented in many ancient documents including the Bruts, Mabinogion, The Welsh Triads, Geoffrey of Monmouths history of the kings of Britain and many others including the researches and writing of Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett who use those documents and many others in order to get to the real history. i though maybe the other plates were more Pagan , but i don't know much either Strange you should say that, I too am puzzled but two images on the front of the Helmet, however there is a clue on the purse depicting Gilgamesh. I feel sure that those images on the front of the helmet are in some way connected to the story but have not followed it up. Who is the man on the right of the King watching as the King gets shot all to hell with 20 arrows protruding from his body, and what does the bowman on the right have around his neck? Your guess is as good as mine but on a guess considering they were Christians a priest praying for Arthurs soul. As for what one of the guys has around his neck, the pic is of such poor quality that I wouldnt even hazard a guess but as a longshot it could be a quiver for is arrows? I dont know, do you? I would say it is quite possibly a Celtic warrior on horseback with a javelin/spear. Hmmm The word Celtic is an invention that started in the 17th century. Nowhere are the ancient Britains described as being Celtic which was what the Gauls (french) were called. and he does look more African , but so does a lot of stuff from mexico / south But having said that, how do you know what the native indian's looked like in those days? Did you have a Dr. Who time capsule to go back and check? hehehe no one knows its just an artistic representation that depicts certain things to different people. that painting is way cool though, i will give you that, is there any way to date it? Yeah that painting's what connects Britain to America and it was a well known story in the 11th century when that church was built. We believe the painting is 12th century being carefull there. It is the icing on the cake though for you guys in America especially those interested in your heritage and culture. It also sheds more light and credibilty about the Madoc stories some of which have been misdated by about 600 years. As the Sutton Hoo treasure is dated by others as being 7th Century it brings more crecibilty to the Madoc story. I hope that helps clear up a few questions. I also hope some of you can now make progress with your own research into this fascinating subject. regards alan

Caesar glossed over his writings in order to impress the Senate and much that he wrote was exagerated.
He also lied about the way the Briton's dressed comparing them to the Gaul's who he described as being naked and painting their bodies in woad. When it comes to matters regarding Caesar, it is far more reliable to turn to Strabo the Greek geographer who writes: "He came not clad in skins like a Seythian, but with a bow in his hand, a quiver hanging on his shoulders, a plaid wrapped about his body, a gilded belt encircling his loins, and trousers reaching from the waist down to the soles of his feet. He was easy in his address; agreeable in his conversation; active in his dispatch, and secret in the management of great affairs; quick in judging of present accuracies; and ready to take part in any sudden emergency: provident withal in guarding against futurity: diligent in the quest for wisdom: fond of friendship: trusting little to fortune, yet having the entire confidence of others, and trusted with everything for his prudence. He spoke Greek with a fluency that you would have thought he had been bred up in the Lyceum, and conversed all his life in the Academy of Athens. A section form my own unpublished book. |

for those who read the above regarding Caesars writing's I decided to find a couple of pictures from my library to prove that the ancient Britons were a
highly civilised nation.
the first one is King Llud, he had two son's and at one time there was a statue of him and his son's on show at Ludgate Circus a part of London that still bears his name. However that statue was taken down and put into hiding. I tracked the statue down but it is a terrible state of disrepair having been subjected to centuries of atmospheric wear and tear. No attempt has been made to restore it and put it on public display for all to see. Yet another attempt by the British Establishment to hide and conceal the real history of Britain. It was King Lluds brother Cassivellaunus who on two occassions in 55 BC and 54 BC sent Caesar packing after his ships suffered great damage by the High Tides.
Caracatus = Caradoc who was betrayed and handed over to the Roman's note the state of dress in both images.
On close inspection of the Llud picture they are well armed, well dressed befitting a Royal Family. It was a shame Lluds son Arfarwy was a traitor and is mentioned in the Triads as such. |

of course the rider could be a woman..with that long hair. the little man on the horse could represent son or daughter of the famous warriror or such..or more
metaphorically children or the clan/people of the rider.
could be guy on ground is wearing chain mail. i would expect this represents an actual battle or event. a tale well known among some group of people at the time. random thoughts..celts against the romans or.. boudaciea..came to mind. philip and alexender another thought..with alexander being the little guy. if so maybe it came from phillips tomb....but who are they fighting? if south american which it reminds me of as the guy on ground has a flat face whereas the horse riders have slanted foreheads..it makes me think of that town where the maya or was it aztec..holed up and and a battle with the spanish. some of the last rebels... the sheilds too have a motif i think that can be found in several countries..perhaps including down south. |

Interesting theories Desert Moon, you are right about one thing Chain mail body armour.
The one thing that interests me is for a ceremonial helmet that was declared as being Saxon, what is this image doing on a Saxon helmet when there is no record of Saxon'x visiting America in that time span? Some of the members know about the Madoc story which is mentioned in the thread and some also know of Welsh speaking Indian's. My hope was to get more background information about this fascinating image and the story it is trying to tell. Maybe some of the members who have made a study of native american indians may of heard of an event, or folk tale that explains this image? Ship burials were common in Britain, there are at least four others, known and located but never investigated be the authorities, I wonder why when they too might contain treasures similar to those found in the Sutton Hoo burial ship? It makes no sense at all that these potential treasure sites are totally ignored by the Establishment unless the fear undeniable disclosures being found within them that might discredit the current versions of history invented by Bishop Stubbs and Edwin Guest in the 1850's. Since this was recovered nearly 100 years ago, in 1939 the helmet has kept it's little secret and is now disclosed. Numerous people have suggested the image is of South American origin. I had not considered that to be honest because to me indians are indians and no one knows what the Welsh speaking indians looked like. Were they similar in appearance to the South American culture? Legend has it that there are supposed to be Bibles used by this race of people still in America... If this is the case has anyone heard about them or know if they still exist, and where they might be found? Those Bibles could be worth a great deal of money if located, they might be versions of the Nag Hamadi because they were Gnostic Christians. Alan |

i have been looking at your painting from the church wall and going through the codex Mendoza for most of the morning . i think you said that you figure the
painting to be 12 th century or something , can you nail that down any more . there are some remarkable similarities to a couple of costumes in the Aztec
manuscript with the native garb from your painting . nothing really exact but very close .there are several myths about white bearded gods visiting the
Americas before Columbus . kind of trying to give an guess as to what that painting might represent . thank you for sharing it

Hi Kanabite
Thanks for making that entry, I have just been on the phone to one of my contacts a Richard Wyer, The church it seems was built in 1120 but maybe an extension of an earlier church. Bear in mind that both Nennius and Gildas state Christianity began in Britain in 35 - 37 AD. So it is quite possible that this was one of the walls of an earlier church that was built on the spot. There is also a story that a family related to King Arthur lived nearby and because of the family connections the painting was done as a sort of memorial to King Arthur. It is also interesting that the church had connections with the knights templars too. Although I did not go into that with Richard. Richard who is getting on in his years knew of someone who was able to recognise the tribe these indians were from by the head dress, but that person has passed on as we all will one day. I hope the above is of some help to you, thanks for your input alan |

thanks again | ||||||

i am also very interested in the connection between your church and the knights Templar, not to overshadow the Arther part but both connections . . this
painting may have been drawn in a very similar fashion to the Aztec picture books . that holds true with more possibilities than just the style, but it is
still very interesting.

This church was evidently a possession of the Knights Hospitaller¹ and the order had a subdivision of priests and chaplains as well as Knights (drawn from the
nobility) and brother servants
The Knights Hospitaller wore a black mantle, but that may not have been true of the other classes of the order. I do believe that the Hospitallers were part of the Knight Templar order. It is known that the Templars were at one time one of the largest land holders in Britain. In London just off of Fleet Street there is a knights Temple which is part circular. The Temple is still in use and contains the remains of some of its knights. Outside in the courtyard is a famous statue of a horse with two mounted knights on it depicting they were poor. I myself have not done much research into the templars concentrating my efforts into Arthur and the Sutton Hoo treasure which I stumbled upon by accident more than luck. I guess curiosity got the better of me and I had to ivestigate further. Incidentally there were several bowls found on the ship too... What is strange about them is the fact they have the star of david engraved in the base. This could also tie in with the 10 lost tribes of Israel who are believed to have migrated to Britain in 1600 BC I will try to find the image of Gilgamesh too and put it up here for all to see as it may interest some of you nice people. regards alan |

The first image is that of Gilgamesh who is seen with arms outstretched holding two Lions.
The purse that was found in the Sutton Hoo ship has one either side of the purse. Was it a talisman of good luck or a memory of their heritage ie the ten lost tribes if Isreal? If you want connections to the Knights Templar, take a good look at this one, it is a dish found on the ship and is on display at the Britsih Museum, so no photoshop trickery as anyone can take a similar picture. Notice the Start of David, a typical Jewish symbol but take a good look at the crosses, hmmm they look very familiar and are easily recognisable as symbols of the Templars. That is going to get some of you guys thinking now and adds even more strength to my belief that the ship is British and not Saxon, I feel sure with this evidence the Saxon theory is getting very thin.
Finally I decided as a gesture of good will to show you one more picture as someone commented about the shield. Even that did not pass my attention and sitting in the Museum of London is such a shield on display. Naturally the Museum staff are not going to admit that Julius Caesar came to Britain after defeating Gaul in an attempt to conquer Britain too. Nothing is mentioned of this event that happened in 55 - 54 BC with Lucan writing that Caesar showed his back on the enemy that he attacked. Instead, the very large collection of weapons recovered from the River Thames are described as VOTIVE offerings to the water gods. Strange how all those weapons together with numerous sculls recovered from the Thames are not connected with a series of raging battles in which the dead dropped their weapons where they died, only to be recovered many years later. It is documented that Cassievelaunus had 4000 chariots lined up along the north banks of the Thames at the Isle of Thorns. Which is now the Houses of Parliment. Nearby and opposite stands a large monument to Boadacea on her chariot.
Something is very wrong with British History the way the Government and Establishment tell a different story from the truth. |

Cool stuff!
I have recently read somewhere (and I can't remember where) that Columbus actually had maps of the America's before he set sail. Probably acquired from the Norse, and he acquired them through his wifes father. That whole finding a new spice route thing I think is just another load of rewritten historical crapola. Briton isn't the only place where everything is rewritten. History gets rewritten all the time, which makes finding the truth about anything very hard. I do enjoy your pictures and your take on things. History is stranger than fiction. Thank you for sharing. |

sorry to get off topic here , but maybe you could give us some background on this one :
Handout images showing the front and side views of a gold cup decorated with the heads of two women. An ancient gold cup mysteriously

Hi Kanabite,
I did see that in one of the papers over here I also saw it on tele. The interesting thing about this is that it is claimed to be 2000 years old a wonderful find. Who the woman is supposed to be is anybody's guess. However, dont take my word for it but there are certain give away signs like the snakes. Many of you already know the dignificence of reptiles with the pharoes who nearly always are depicted with a snake. Now it may suprise some of you yanks that Arkenhaten had a daughter who married the king or Ireland. In fact her name is associated with Scotland strange as it may appear but there is more to this than meets the eye. Lorraine Evans wrote a book called Kingdom of the Ark. Scota was a very powerful woman being the daughter of a pharoe. She is buried in Ireland too Alan Wilson wanted me to go over there and check out the burial site. Unfortunately the Irish do not like detectors of any kind as the threat of having mine confiscated was sufficient to put an end to that little treasure hunt. Would A. Wilson reveal what he knows to the so called authorities? In fact he has tried on many occassions but the establishment have their own set way of doing things. Maybe they are just waiting for him to kick the flaming bucket and go in and use his already published knowledge which in my opinion is stealing anyway. Treasure hunting is lost cause especially when Governments take over all your research and grab or steal the rewards. I once wrote an article about a Alan Robinson who discovered the Gilt Dragon in Australia. The Western Australian Museum took hm to court over the find trying to claim it and he beat them in court. So the Govt changed the laws which he again beat but he coudnt beat the new laws they introduced he eventually hung himself in Long Bay Jail but I think he had too much to live for and was topped by who knows just to silence him and get him out of the way. He wrote a book called IN AUSTRALIA TREASURE IS NOT FOR THE FINDER. Didnt the same thing happen to Mel Fisher? the guy who found the ATOCHA? |

Allan , interesting i wonder how they determined it to be 2000 years old . i am not familiar with the woman but the serpents joined together facing each other
does intrigue me a little bit . there must be a little more to it than what was briefly described in the post . it does not appear to be so much cast ,more
like pounded out . i wonder where it originally came from ? it is a very beautiful artifact and i am surprised with what you claim to be extreme government
meddling that it would be allowed to be auctioned off . I think the article said it was expected to bring in a million dollars . you don't get that kind of
money for fakes .that cup probably could tell a great story , to bad it can't talk.
