Yes but those like Pendragon lewis and so on are notorious for turning up at every photo opportunity, spouting rhetoric without checking on historical presidence or archieved information and claiming that the antiquarians of the late C17th were correct. Modern archelogy has tipped most of those peoples theories straight out. Like conspiracy theories peiople will cling to that which they like rather than that which is founded in reality.
