Arthur probably didn’t exist. Guinevere certainly didn’t. Even if they did, there’s no reason to assume any particular location would be the location of their tombs.
Plus, according to the legend, Arthur’s supposed to be alive and in the mystical island of Avalon, waiting until he is needed to return and become king again. These guys needed to look up their Geoffrey of Monmouth.
Basically, it would be like digging to find the tomb of Uncle Sam and his wife.
Or they had tombs made for them and they remained empty because Arthur is alive on the mystical island of Avalon
Yaknow, pharaoh pyramid rules - they built those suckers when the dude was still alive. But one dude just didn’t have to use his “pyramid” cause he floating on an island.
Fun fact, he was actually right in the original version — there hasn’t been a queen of England since 1707, when the kingdoms of England and Scotland were replaced with one kingdom of Great Britain
There was no title “king of England” or “queen of England” as of that date, in the same way that there is no king of Sheffield. There’s a king whose kingdom includes Sheffield, yes, but it’s not the kingdom of Sheffield
I don’t get it.

No joke: Uncle Sam was a real guy and Ive been to his grave. I forget if his wife was there (or if he had one).

There is no Easter Bunny. There is no Tooth Fairy. There is no Once and Future King of England!

Sort of. But they were still kings and queens of England, just also other kingdoms too.

I always assumed it was similar to how QE2 was the Queen of Canada, making our monarchy separately and independent but parallel to the UK monarchy.
It was up until the Acts of Union 1707. Ireland got a similar treatment in 1800 (and then reduced to Northern Ireland later, of course)
So far!
… though I expect if there is one, it’s that shitty hologram/AI technology hybrid
I just had the most amazing idea for a post-apocalyptic roleplay campaign.
Arthur is alive and hanging out just north of Ardougne
