    Cambusmaelok, shortened to Cameluk (that's what Edward 1st called it), corrupted to Camelot means monestry of Saint Maelok. He was a 6th century Saint and prince of Strathclyde and fleed "Scotland" to Lugo in North West Spain, he attended the second council of Braga 572ade. His daughter was taught by Saint Bride. Before Saint Maelok this location was the place of the chapels called after Aaron and Julius / Julian the roman. It is also the birthplace of Saint Patrick.

    With all due respect, "I trust the Brittish Mainstream Academia about as much as I do the Smithsonian".
    I dont doubt the Archaeologists have a professional skill, I doubt the "Forced Narrative".
    The Cornerstone of Science and Academia has always been: "Freedom of Thoughts", to entertain alternative Theories for further Explorations and Discoveries.
    Authentic Academics adhere to the "Standards of Science and Research", which requires:
    ("With mind fully Open free of any predetermined Beliefs, Theories, Opinions ..........and allowing the Research Methodologies to extract the greater facts.")
    Science based Research and Studies, like Genetics/DNA and Geophysics are revealing a whole other reality. Lab based Science and it is Repeatable ...
    The truths never change and they are emerging, inspite of Corporate and Academic Egos, and the fear based rules.

    Interesting that Scots were participating in the siege of Newark against their Stuart king... I also know that Oliver Cromwell's army were in Inverness! They built a citadel as it was called there, down by the harbour, at around 1650. and 40 years later, that citadel was no more! Totally demolished, with only a very handsome clocktower left standing, which local historians believe was there before the citadel.

    DON'T believe ANYTHING from this woman. BRITAIN is the LARGEST ISLAND in the WHOLE OF EUROPE! IONA was an IRISH monastic foundation. SHE deliberately fails to mention that COLM CILLE( his real Irish name) and his monks were from IRELAND. COLUM CILLE and his missionares were the product of IRISH culture. Colum Cille was even from one of the ruling IRISH families.

      Except they were called Scoti. TBH you can see Ireland very clearly from Kintyre and Isley. I think there was always political and cultural entities across the North Channel.

      @@davidbarrass The fact is she deliberately omits to mention that Colm CILLE and his fellow missionaries were from Ireland. People with no knowledge of the Irish monastic Foundations would likely be amazed that the Irish Monks went to many countries spreading a love of art and learning. Lindisfarne, Bobbie, ST. Gall were among many others founded by the Irish missionaries. People watching Alice Roberts's documentary would likely be surprised also to learn that Colm Cille was a member of a royal Irish family. The Irish monks even inhabited The Faroes and Iceland BEFORE the Vikings. She also repeats her usual falsehood ''we're only a small island'' This is a blatant bit of misinformation. Britain Is a BIG ISLAND------the biggest in Europe. This LIE is peddled by many also with a racist, foreigner hating agenda.

    It was Saint Patrick who taught Saint columba and Patrick was from Strathclyde. Columba converted the Scots who were a small insignificant tribe from Ireland and North/ west Scotland, he did not convert Scotland as it did not exist for another 700 years. Strathclyde had a Christian presence since 350ade.

    • @alicemilne1444
      @alicemilne1444 12 днів тому +5

      St Patrick was long dead before St Columba was born, so P definitely was not C's teacher. And nobody knows exactly where Patrick was born anyway. What is known is that P was Romano-British. Strathclyde is a name that emerged centuries later.
      The Scoti were not a tribe. It was a collective name that the Romans gave to raiders from the east of Ireland. They raided from what is now southwest Scotland down to the Midlands of England.
      The Scoti were never in the North of Scotland. Those were the Picts.
      And the name "Scotland" was invented by English monks, not by the people actually living in Alba.
      The Gaelic Kindom of Dál Riata, to which Columba sailed in 563 AD, existed from around the 4th century to the late 8th century. What is now called Scotland started out as the Kingdom of Alba in 843 AD.

      ​​@@alicemilne1444 The current chronology is way off with saint Patrick. Saint Patrick was taught be saint Serf in Strathclyde which had a christian presence since 350ade. Saint Serf 500-585ade. Saint Patrick was a contempory of saint Bride, refer to one if saint Bride's miricales involved saint Patrick. Saint Bride taught the daughter of Lok / Log/ saint Maelok. Saint Maelok attended second council of Braga 572ade just before the death of saint Serf. Therefore Maelok born around 520ade, Patrick about 525ade. Worst year in history 536ade world wide famine , prepetual winter and then plague for about 5-10 years. About 540ade there was a civil war in Strathclyde as a result of limited resourses, Patrick aged 15 was caputered and put into slavery. The hymn of saint Fiacc says Patrick was born in Nemphlar this is Nemphlar near lanark and it us still called DalPatrick today. Again Saint Partick on his returm to Ireland perhaps about 560ade taught may Irish saints including Columba 521-597ade. Columba was forced to leave Ireland and convert the pagan snake worshiping Scots (not Britains / Welsh of Strathclyde). Saint Patrick's well in Lanark, ruins of saint Patrick's chapel at Dalziel.
