FreezeHeat - it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merlin hated the Saxons. He was a Druid ( and a brilliant engineer ) and the Druids had been badly treated all through Europe. He placed the sword in the stone so that "anybody" would find it. The moonstone only glowed once every four years at the spring equinox. Arthur, who was the son of a local farmer saw it when he was bringing home a herd of sheep. The rock was a mechanical device which appeared like a real stone. However it was really a water clock based on a clever Egyptian design. The condensed water on the moonstone ran down a hole into the rock, which caused an iota enough extra weight to start the mechanism. The rock "released" the sword just as Arthur approached. Then Merlin proclaimed that Arthur was the future king. He took him away and literally brainwashed him into believing in his destiny, which was to destroy Saxons - the rest is history - ??

That's true.
