King Arthur is thought to have been born at the royal palace of Tintagel in Cornwall that has been for long considered mysterious. After recent excavation at the site, archeologists uncovered the remains of the palace that could help confirm the truth about the king that has passed over to generations.

The archeologists unearthed a wall that is almost a meter thick that they say might belong to the palace of King Arthur who ruled an ancient south-west British kingdom, known as Dumnonia during the 6th century. King Arthur has remained a topic of discussion regarding the truth behind his existence as it is speculated that his character was a product of fiction.

But now it seems as archeologists have found evidence of the palace at Tintagel. It could prompt many to think that he really existed. The palace at Tintagel is believed to be the birth place of Arthur. Its evidence can be traced back to earlier legend that was written by a Welsh cleric known as Geoffrey of Monmouth.

The wall found at the site of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall is believed to have belonged to a palace built between the 5th and 7th centuries. The period coincides with the time when the king was born at the site, as written in “History of the Kings of Britain,” in the 12th century by Geoffrey of Monmouth. The palace was abandoned at the end of the 6th century or beginning of 7th century.

“It is showing there could indeed be some truth behind the earliest stories about King Arthur’s birth at Tintagel. If nothing else, it means the legend about where Arthur was born isn’t so fanciful after all and deserves further investigation”, said Graham Phillips, author of “The Lost Tomb of King Arthur”.
