However, the nonsense that most caught my attention César Vidal is one included in your Lies of the story ... common use, nondescript hodgepodge in which, again, some poor typesetters had to manage to get a book where there is none, by the use of line spacing of a finger width and lyrics of body 24, with the o as roscones of kings.
Vidal devotes a section to destroy the alleged lies that have been said about King Arthur and it dusts the theory advanced in 1924 by the American writer Kemp Malone, that this character would actually Lucius Artorius Castus was a Roman soldier of the second century AD who know only through a funeral stele found in Podstrana (Croatia) which lists its honorum cursus, ie the various posts that the deceased exercised over their lives.
However, Malone's theories do not stop being a concatenation of assumptions that can not bridge the gap between it Artorius chronological Century II and the character that presents the Bard Taliesin Briton fighting the Saxons in Battle of Mount Badon, which, according to the monk Gildas, would have taken place in the year 494, end later corroborated by other sources such as the Welsh chronicler Nennius.
In the movie King Arthur -a tale of fiction, after all, "also based on the work of Malone, the writer tries to disguise this inconsistency by a vague hint that the protagonist would be the last member a long family saga Artorius. But Vidal is not necessary simply no justification, and thus begins by recounting the Lucius Artorius Castus life half-century-AD-II, and later going on to describe their involvement at the Battle of Mons Badonicus and other events of the late V.
When one reads this and tries to mentally reconstruct the editorial process that made it possible, from the wording of the text at the hands of one of his black , monitoring of it by Mr. Vidal, his commitment to the Editor The subsequent work of editing and layout, until finally the product reaches the hands of tens of thousands of readers, one can not help but wonder ... is that no one has noticed that a guy can not live more than three hundred years?
In April 1953, Albert K. Bender, the editor of a magazine of American ufology, announced with fanfare at last had evidence that would prove beyond doubt the presence of aliens among us, which would be published in the next issue. However, when it hit newsstands in its place appeared an article which claimed that such evidence had been stolen by mysterious men dressed in black, members of a shadowy government agency.
Thereafter, they began to be increasingly frequent cases of UFO experts could not prove the veracity of his research, because their evidence had been stolen by those mysterious Men in Black . All this, rather than undermine the credibility of his statements, precisely helped increase it: after all, what better proof that the government was in contact with extraterrestrials that interest to conceal the evidence to prove it?
Apparently, no one suggested that, in fact, the Men in Black , despite being members of a powerful organization that alien technology has never been able to prevent the truth will be published in some magazines that are sold in supermarkets. Nor has questioned the sense that it may have secret agents always dress alike, even though tons e-paper even two movies starring Will Smith, which tells us about the Men in Black .
And after this digression, we return to the above. The key to success lies in César Vidal have given some support to a particular historicist ideology. In Spain there are good historians of leftist and rightist historians good, but none of them says the same as him. His work is completely unpresentable and disengagement with respect to absolute academic, but he blames a conspiracy "politically correct" to hide the truth about history, orchestrated by liberals, nationalists and homosexuals. And if someone criticizes some aspect of his work, precisely because it is part.
After all, what better proof of the existence of a conspiracy to manipulate the history that the criticism directed at whom the complaint?
