Guardians of the Holy Grail Quotes

“Recently, the authors of From Scythia to Camelot have revealed through
their prodigious research that history also supports the migration of Holy Grail
wisdom from ancient Persia. Authors Littleton and Malcor reveal that the legends
of King Arthur and the Holy Grail arrived in Europe via Scythian tribes known as
Sarmatians and Alans, whose equestrian knights rode out of the Caucasus Mountains
and parts of northern Iran during the first five centuries after Christ and became
assimilated into the Roman provinces of Europe. These Central Asian tribes
brought with them legends of swords, chalices, and knights, which collectively
could have provided the raw material for the Holy Grail legends of Europe. This
appears probable since the Arthurian-Grail legends did not surface in Europe until
well after the neo-Scythian tribes had become established on the continent.
Perhaps the most convincing evidence of a Holy Grail migration from
Scythia are the Nart Sagas, the “Knight Sagas,” which are chivalrous legends
which were passed down among the Scythian tribes of Persia and Central Asia.
Littleton and Malcor suggest that Baltraz, one of the principal figures in the Nart
Sagas, could have evolved into the character of King Arthur via the migration of
the Sarmatians into Great Britain during the Roman Empire. They cite many similarities
between the two figures, including the fact that both commanded a stable
of knights, which for Arthur were his Knights of the Round Table and for Baltraz
were his “Narts.” Both figures also possess almost the exact legend regarding
their last moments on Earth. While dying on the battlefield both Arthur and Batraz
asked their assistants to toss their swords into specific bodies of water, and in
both cases their couriers returned without completing the mission but lied and
claimed that they had. Both Arthur and Batraz detected the deception of their
messengers, and when their swords were later truly plunged into water as asked
extraordinary results occurred just as they had expected. When Baltraz’s sword
reached the sea the water boiled and turned blood red, and when Arthur’s sword
of Excalibur returned to the body of water it originated from it was caught by the

The Nart Sagas also reflect the European Holy Grail legends on one
very crucial point. They refer to a magical chalice, a Holy Grail, that can only be
touched and owned by a “knight without flaw.” The Scythian Holy Grail is the
Nartmongue, the “Revealer of the Narts,” which continually refills itself with drink
at the banquets of Scythian knights, just as the European Holy Grail is reputed to
do at the table of the Arthurian knights. And just as the Arthurian Grail will only
appear to the most righteous of knights, the Nartmongue elevates itself only to the
lips of those knights who are “without flaw.” The Nartmongue also parallels the
European Holy Grail in that it was passed down within lineages of special kings
while eternally protected by an order of knights.
