Sword In The Stones
Historians who believe England's King Arthur wasn't even a Briton have built a huge sword in the stone in what they believe is his final resting place in Podstrana, Croatia.
The group say Arthur was really Roman general Lucius Artorius Castus who stayed on in Britain to unite ancient tribes while his Roman leaders were leaving.
His story was made famous on the big screen by Clive Owen in the movie Arthur, based on the work by British historian John Matthews who is expected to visit the monument.
Hundreds of British fans have already visited the tomb and thousands more are expected this summer, say memorial officials.
"The general was born in a tiny village in Roman occupied Croatia and rose to great heights in the army. His mother Igrayne is believed to have given her name to a nearby village called Igrane.
"We are not trying to take anything away from Britain. Arthur was a great British king, but we have to respect his roots," said one local historian.
