One of the journalists Tony Robinson said that he greatly awaited this finding in order finally to resolve the long-standing dispute between the historians. the "building of round table - one of our most significant archaelogical findings", said Robinson. - "this the very thing which will help to confirm legends about king Artur and knights of round table".

"we approached the excavations of the walls of building, and they proved to be exactly, where we hoped to find them. Scientists made assumptions about this building for the elongation it was age-long, but they could not find authentic building ".

But the building of round table - only one of the numerous findings, made since the commands of archaeologists obtained unprecedented access to three royal residences: To bekingemskomu palace, To vindzorskomu lock and to the palace Of kholirudkhaus in Edinburgh, reports The Epoch Times.
