Sorry, i made a recent post regarding the sun god connection with King Arthur.
- King Arthur is mythological, no real archeological evidence has ever been found.
- 12 Knights =12 Disciples = 12 months of the year
- Lionness - wiki says otherwise but one cant help but still see a connection with the Sun. Seven is of course another Sun related number as in 7 planets+sun+moon.

Deriving from a false etymology of Lyonesse, the 'City of Lions' was said in some later traditions to be the capital of the legendary kingdom, situated on what is today the Seven Stones reef , some eighteen miles west of Land's End and eight miles north-east of the Isles of Scilly.

- Camelot is based on "cam" the name the ancient egyptians gave to their home land.

Name
The Welsh form Gwenhwyfar, which seems to be cognate with the Irish name Findabair, can be translated as The White Enchantress, or alternately The White Fay/Ghost, from Proto-Celtic *Uindo- "white, fair, holy" + *seibarV(V=vowel) "magic" (cf. Old Irish sÃabar "magic"). [1] [2] [3] Some have suggested that the name may derive from "Gwenhwy-fawr" or Gwenhwy the Great, contrasting the character to "Gwenhwy-fach" or Gwenhwy the less;
- Arthur was involved in 12 battles

How much of this narrative was Geoffrey's own invention is open to debate. Certainly, Geoffrey seems to have made use of the list of Arthur's twelve battles against the Saxons found in the 9th-century Historia Brittonum , along with the battle of Camlann from the Annales Cambriae and the idea that Arthur was still alive .

SORRY
I was asked for the book taht goes into this detail, unfortunately i cant find, i got a replacement Kindle the other day and dont remember all the books that were on it. I will have to search my PDFs etc.
Other points of interest is that the name Arthur can be traced to ancient Egyptian and was related to the sun or horus in some way. Without the book i cant get into further detail.
I believe in short what we are seeing with the Arthur story is an attempt by man to transform the Sun and its journeys in the Sky into a real man, a bit like the story of Horus. Over time the legend added some local historical elements which is why the story seems quite different from something Egyptian. However we can see by examining particularly the etymology of the key figures that there is a fit for ancient Egyptian religion in there.
