In November 1917, that great archaeologist, Flinders Petrie, addressed the British Academy and correctly announced that a large portion of British History had been criminally neglected.
He was referring principally to the work of the 8th Century monk Nennius and that of the 12th Century's Geoffrey of Monmouth, both of whom had been (and continue to be) ditched, abused and defamed by modernist historians.
The research into their credibility by historian Bill Cooper has proved definitively that their authenticity is remarkable when their histories are compared to contemporary sources across Europe.
"So what?" will be the response of many people.
The situation is that these histories allow countless nations and tribes to trace their origins back to The Table of Nations in Genesis in Genesis 10 & 11 - which modernists have designated "pious fiction".
Cooper's work lends enormous credibility to the Genesis account and effectively proves a significant portion of it to be a genuine and reliable historical document.
If Genesis has credibility, then our atheistic academics are in real trouble.
I wonder why they could possibly have rubbished Nennius and Geoffrey of Monmouth? It could not be dishonesty, by any chance? Surely, they could not be trying to undermine the truth of the Scriptures. Could they?
Nennius does not 'edit' his history for which he is criticised by modernist historians. (????!) What this actually means is that his history, unexplained and unexpurgated, is actually much more valuable than most. His honesty is 100%.
