PRESS RELEASE: Compelling discoveries and "Revelations of the Masters" provide evidence of Camelot. A newly released book may finally prove the historical existence of a legendary king and his magical Merlin.

KING ARTHUR LORD OF THE GRAIL
Author, Kaye Hennig and Photographer, Terrance Hennig

A writer's quest led a couple to the discovery of a marvelously sculpted cave containing monuments that they believe were created by the Merlin. DesignMagic Publishing has just released a coffee-table size book that contains images of monuments the author believes were created as sculpted portraits of the legendary Arthurians.

After over a decade of study and site research, clues contained in art, architecture, music and drama led the couple to the discovery of evidence of King Arthur. Their book contains 280 documentary photographs revealing ancient art that provide evidence of the lost kingdom called Camelot. The author of this fascinating tale presents compelling interpretations of the symbols and images found on the ancient sites that the couple believes are connected to a lost dark-age people, the Arthurians. The story of her quest and of their discoveries is combined with the photographer's stunning site photographs. The result is a beautifully designed and artfully presented work, one that could provide the world with a real history for King Arthur and his followers.

Here is a book that may finally explain how a historical people vanished and disappeared into the shadowy world of myth and legend.

This tale of discovery first began as a search for physical evidence of a legendary kingdom. In the end, it became something else - the author's spiritual quest, an attempt to understand the beliefs of the ancients and to discover the truths that lay hidden behind the secrets of the grail. As each site finally gave up its secrets, King Arthur, the man, was revealed, resplendent in his cape and golden crown and identifiable in all his roles and majesty, appearing as "The Young King," "The High King," "The Warrior King", and finally in his most important role, as the head of his Round Table, "The Grail King". Following in the footsteps of King Arthur and his Merlin, the couple identified the territory and researched the sites in the Borders area of England and Scotland that they believe contain evidence of the beliefs and activities of these ancients. In the process, they discovered a lost world...one where ancient queens were revered in hidden chapels, where Grail priestesses kept sacred secrets, and where worthy kings, knights and nobles, who are still remembered for their adventures, sought to 'achieve' the grail. And ultimately, the legendary notables introduced themselves, revealing their faces in the sculpted portraits left in the Merlin's burial cave.

In the remains of dark-age ruins, in dark caverns and underground crypts, and in the medieval castles and abbeys containing art created by later "Lords of the Grail", the couple discovered stones and carvings. They identified messages and lessons left by the Arthurians that disclosed their dangerous secrets, identified the nature of their treasures, and explained the reasons they became legendary. The author completed her Grail quest, pinpointing the locations of the King Arthur's Grail Castles, his Isle of Avalon and the Merlin's Grail chapel sites, revealing the clues and interpreting the hidden messages that were concealed there in the art, information that helped unlock the mysteries surrounding the identity of the Arthurians, their spiritual beliefs and the closely guarded secrets of their Grail.

Then in a startling and compelling conclusion, the writer deciphered coded messages in works of "masters" that provided corroborative evidence of the couple's discoveries and that disclosed links between the ancient Arthurians and medieval orders and other related organizations. Documentation of the existence of the Arthurians was discovered by the author, concealed in a tale by the world's first novelist Miquel de Cervantes, who wrote 'fact' disguised as 'fiction' during the time of the Inquisition. Before Cervantes revealed his own knowledge in his greatest work, there was another illustrious individual who the author identified as a "Lord of the Grail".

Hidden in works of art created by the Renaissance "grand master" Leonardo da Vinci, an elusive individual whose connections have often linked him to mysterious orders and to the secrets of the Grail family, the author identified portraits and symbols that the couple could relate to the images they had discovered on the Arthurians' sites in Britain.

In the end, it is left up to the reader to consider the evidence, visit the sites, and come to their own conclusions. The couple knows, however, that ancient energy has lifted the veil that obscured the past and they believe that,

"Reason will prevail over romance." and "Legend will become history!"
