Archaeologists find 'lost' site depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry

[Still Waters]

Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that a house in England is the site of a lost residence of Harold, the last Anglo-Saxon King of England, and shown in the Bayeux Tapestry.

By reinterpreting previous excavations and conducting new surveys, the team from Newcastle University, UK, together with colleagues from the University of Exeter, believe they have located a power center belonging to Harold Godwinson, who was killed in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Bosham, on the coast of West Sussex, is depicted twice in the Bayeux Tapestry, which famously narrates the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 when William, Duke of Normandy, challenged Harold for the throne. The Tapestry culminates in Williams's victory at Hastings, but earlier in the artwork Bosham is shown as the place where Harold enjoys a feast in an extravagant hall before setting sail for France, and again on his return.

I watched The Temple of Doom the other day.  I probably isn't as good as The Last Crusade, or Raiders of the Lost Ark, but certainly superior to the recent sequels.  Mola Ram is probably the best villain behind Belloq.

I live about 5 miles from Bosham.

This is fascinating.
