Foreword
Hundreds of experts with sterling credentials have
traced out Maltwood’s maps and have drawn the same
conclusions. In the final volume of this trilogy I set forth
my thoughts on who built them and what they represent.
Still, it is undeniable that extensive activity took place in
the Neolithic era in and around Glastonbury. Settlements
at Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole, located about ten
kilometers from the modern town of Glastonbury, date
back at least twenty five thousand years.
If Maltwood’s little-known research was my only
source I would have gone off the deep end. Luckily, I
balanced my preliminary reading with The Grail Legends,
the widely acclaimed work of Emma Jung, the wife of
C.G. Jung, who dedicated her life to Grail research. The
result of Emma Jung’s scholarship was a definitive — for
her era — psychological tour through the manuscripts of
the Middle Ages. Archaeology was not an issue.
Interestingly, there seemed to be a conflict between
Maltwood’s findings and Jung’s. Frau Jung and her
editors ranked the Perlesvaus near the bottom of the list
of major works on the Grail, preferring the writings of
Chretien De Troyes and Wolfram von Eschenbach. 7
The older literature, generally based on excavations
conducted in the prewar era, were patently sexist and
racist. I was sure there was a bias operating in the
assumption that the megalith builders were savages. I was
not alone. North American archaeology was progressive
and objective. Younger minds schooled in ethnography
and astronomy were interpreting old data. These fresh
scientists were not traumatized by their discoveries.
7 Jung, Emma.The Grail Legends. New York: Putnam’s, 1970. The
Perlesvaus is crude in style compared to Chretien and Wolfram, but it has a
depth that seems connected to the Dark Ages. Chretien, Wolfram and Robert
de Borron claim they possessed an earlier manuscript as a guide and The
Perlesvaus, or an earlier version of it, may be that manuscript.
