Discovery of King Arthur: The First Physical Evidence, a Stone Carving of King Arthur, Has Been Found in Scotland Friday Harbor, Washington Friday, June 17, 2005. The image of an ancient king, sculpted in colored stone has been discovered in southern Scotland. This portrait in stone matches descriptions of a lost king of ancient Britain, known to the world as the legendary King Arthur. The giant stone head, nearly 40 feet above the ground, tops a cloaked image and shows an ancient royal wearing a heavy gold crown. In weathered stonework this noble face is shown with red hair and a red beard. The clothing under his dark mantle appears to have originally been carved from gold-colored stone. Over his right shoulder one can see the chipped remains of a giant heart-shaped shield of stone with what appears to be a sword piercing through the heart. - 2005-06-19
