King Arthur and Pharaoe ?

[gordi]

Hello All,
 
Recently, I read a part of an old book written in Old French. This one was saying that King Arthur really existed except that he was not in search of the Grail but simply a warrior in the pay of England, named by some "terrible bear". Behind a legend, there is always a bit of truth for those who seek ...

Now, this same book mentioned that there was a certain Gatelus and Scota (daughter of a Pharaoh) who came to Portugal and then, they went to Ireland. When we look at an old map, Ireland was called "Hibernia" and it was considered as a "Sacred Land".

So why did England deport as many Irish as slaves or others? Just as the Acadians of Canada?

Finally, to return to the story of "Gatelus and Scota," I would think that perhaps Pharaoh Akhenaton did not die of poisoning as history taught us and that he simply refugee in Portugal with all his family ... just like the "Three Marie" in France ".
 
I’m just giving you a part of the hsitory that I read in french and I would like to know what you think about that ?

P.S. Sorry for the traduction ;-(

Hi Surya!

Nice to meet you.

I'm from Scotland and (by my understanding) the name Scotland came from the Scotti (or Scoti) tribe(s) who came to Scotland from Ireland.
They were apparently given the name Scotti by the Romans?
There are ancient gaelic legends that mention Scota, the Egyptian princess or pharoahs daughter but I'm not too familiar with them.
Perhaps, if she really did flee to Ireland/Scotland that's where the Romans came up with the name Scotti?

Interesting subject, thanks for sharing,
G
