I hope the author decides to take it further and expand on this, because I found it phenomenal.

Never thought I'd listen to an article about how King Arthur is a cyborg, but that was interesting to say the least

[DrFranklynAnderson]

At first I was annoyed because Guinevere traditionally doesn’t have any children, but then it got to the bit about Sir Bedivere and that was genius. He was the knight tasked with returning Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake, here bringing Guinevere the code to start a new clone of Arthur, fulfilling the prophecy of Arthur being the Once and Future King. Then I looked up the other names, and turns out they’re from sources older than the medieval tales I’m familiar with.

Gwydre: mentioned only once as a son of Arthur who was killed by a king turned into a boar in one of the oldest Arthurian stories.
Hilde: found in an Icelandic saga, but I can’t find an English translation easily online.
Amr: killed by Arthur himself, the size of his grave changing whenever someone went to measure it: 6’, 9’, 12’, or 15’.
Archfedd: a daughter listed in a Welsh genealogy.

Mordred of course is the traditional destroyer of Camelot, here wielding the sword he stole from Arthur and later killed him with in the Alliterative Morte Arthure.

I could just imagine as Guinevere was describing Stielenot, the researching there was just thinking "Oh boy here we go again". Great work

[thaumaturgeslit]

Always excited to see new fun SCP readings.

I love how this channel visits the more lengthy, more obscure SCP’s instead of the more popular ones.

[sirgideonofnir]

No matter what setting. A "Once and Future king" is always my favorite

[fabriziobarone]

I just finished reading the entry on my own and I will only say one thing: "He will know that you have found this."

Hey man, i just wanted to thank you for introducing me to the warhamner 40k universe. I subbed to your channel simply for the SCP content, but discovered many new things such as the cthullu mythos and 40k. Keep up the good work

[itsphisty]

I work nightshift at a hotel and regularly have 3-4 hour periods where I am sitting at a desk w nothing to do. Your vids make the nights go so much better. I’d love more of the 40k lore vids I’m new to ttrpgs and it’s on my bucket list to play it

[RuefullyUrs]

Never heard of this canon, but I really love the "mechanical Camelot" idea!

[aidkik]

Can't imagine they'd let him be born? This "mordred" according to the story single handedly whiped out an entire technologically advanced kingdom like 1600, 1700 years ago, AND he's still he's a documented scp already I think I'd at least hear what day old Arthur has to say

[spicyLEGO]

The Foundation should keep Arthur as a contingency plan against the Broken God fanatics

[benjaminotalora]

Something I noticed with the description of the broken god according to guinevere, it sounded a whole lot like the factory. The mention of rust and their desire to end the universe is very much in line with that particular scp

[shupasopni]

Biopunk future tech Arthurian legend is so fucking cool. I want more of this! Either through the already existing canon or the author taking the concept further.

[a.k.]

Thank you for creating all your content!

[warlordsquerk]

One thing I really like about this one, at least compared to the several others I have seen, is that it is quite unusual. Things seem much more based in normality, well, compared to the lovecraftian alternatives and the being the SCP Foundation meets is friendly, wants to talk and explains most of what they don't understand. While I love mystery and enjoy some love craft style stories, I appreciate them more when I get some variation, especially such a significant variation as this. I wonder how many similar SCPs are out there... I will have to keep watching...

[mattrodriguez]

This is why I love the the SCP universe. So many origin stories that find ways to tie into other parts other canons. Great stuff as always, TES.

[יובלבן-דוד-שד]

The best way to start the week is with a new SCP

[kryptocyde]

Man thank you for your consistency, and quality. Appreciate you still doing SCP readings!
