Mysteries and Monsters: Episode 230 The Polychronicon Of Merlin, Joseph & Arthur with Mark Olly

<div>Imagine the most popular heroic story ever written, one which spans three millennia &amp; goes to the very heart of the largest religion in the world, but which has now almost entirely devolved into myth. Ignored &amp; avoided by the establishment, shunned &amp; unexplored by archaeologists &amp; historians, consigned to the back-rooms of academic study, yet everyone knows the characters &amp; the plot - the tales of King Arthur &amp; his Knights Of The Round Table.<br> <br> But no-one knows the reality! Or do they? In Mark Olly's latest book, The Polychronicon he unpicks the confusion to reveal the reality of Arthur to prove there is always a kernel of truth in most legends. <br> <br> The book can be found <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Polychronicon-Merlin-Joseph-Arthur/dp/B0BKS5ZZ6J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NXOJ7Q380A3A&amp;keywords=polychronicon+mark+olly&amp;qid=1680451746&amp;sprefix=the+polychroni%2Caps%2C376&amp;sr=8-1">here: </a><br> <br>  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.
