1300-Year-Old Ancient Stone with Latin Writing and Christian Symbols Discovered

We all know that archeology isn’t as exciting as the “Indiana Jones” movies made it out to be.

Every ancient discovery can’t be accompanied by Nazis and daring escapes and torrid romances and forbidden relics and more Nazis.

Sometimes even the most interesting archaeology stems from (ahem) rather boring circumstances. Just consider what scientists found at Tintagel Castle, a Cornish ruin long associated with King Arthur.

For ages, archaeologists have searched for solid proof showing that Tintagel was actually Arthur’s birthplace.

And while they haven’t found that, they discovered something almost as interesting.

Examination of a windowsill in the 1,300-year-old castle turned up writing — quite fascinating writing. The ancient stone slab was scrawled with words in two different languages, namely Latin and Greek.

What’s more, the two-foot-long slab bore various Christian symbols, and the style of the letters resembled that of various illuminated manuscripts. The writing, though, was fragmented.

Archeologists were able to discern two names (“Tito” and “Budic”), the former of which was Latin, while the latter was Celtic. Other fragments included the word “son” and “two men.”

Some experts think this hints at a vast, multi-ethnic royal court, perhaps something not unlike one that would’ve produced King Arthur. English Heritage curator Win Scutt found the discovery particularly captivating.

Archeologists were able to discern two names (“Tito” and “Budic”),

Are they sure it wasn't "Shire" and "Baggins"?
