  • Archeologists, tech experts, divers, magnet searchers and filmmakers are searching ponds and waterways in Britain for King Arthur's legendary Excalibur sword.  Here's what we know: 
  • It's one of the most famous objects in history 
  • Said to possess magical powers and to be associated with the rightful sovereignty of Britain
  • As he lay dying, King Arthur threw Excaliber into a lake
  • Experts have argued over which lake for centuries
  • Project developments so far:
  1. Several possible locations have been identified
  2. Filmmakers are trying to find it first for a TV series called Weird Britain
  3. Project start was in Cornwell
  4. If the sword is magnetized, magnetic search devices have the edge
  5. Key problem is identifying the lake it's in and if the lake still exists from the 6th century
  • The goal is to establish that this legend of history is true
  • Imagine if they succeed!
