King Arthur Pendragon loses human remains legal battle

A druid who went to the High Court to try to stop researchers examining ancient human remains found at Stonehenge has failed in his legal bid.

Self-styled druid King Arthur Pendragon wanted the remains found in 2008 to be reburied immediately.

He was fighting a Ministry of Justice decision allowing scientists at Sheffield University to analyse the samples for five more years.

His bid was rejected at a High Court hearing.

One more example of what it makes when the appetite for money erases other values such as ethics and morals.

At the end of the day this was a battle for a pile of old bones. It seems to me that there are far more important battles worth fighting at the moment that could assist the living and those yet to be born into this world.

I would say that this case highlights a serious problem with much neo pagan thinking in that it seems to value the past much more than the future. Just look at King Arthur himself strutting around in a white robe, wearing a crown and carrying a sword. Do you think the real King Arthur were he alive today would dress so absurdly? He'd more than likely wear an Armani suit I'd imagine!

You mean that there's money in it for "King Arthur" and that's why he's trampling on scientific ethics and morals? Damn bastard... :P

I was thinking of the money coming from ratings/recycling as everything which catches the attention of the medias sells and every meat might it be dead or alive -if only the time of flashes on it- vultures turn into gold.

Being not a dog I don't care for buried/unburied bones and have no clue about that King Arthur of this shabby insignificant story. :lol:
