One of Ambroses' more intriguing claims can be found in his 1954 best-seller, Periodic Table: The Early Years. Ambrose claims that the first reference to the Periodic Table in history was in 5th/6th century England. Says Ambrose: Unlike what legend would have us believe, The court of King Arthur featured the Kinghts of the Periodic Table. That Round Table nonesense was just, well nonesense according to Ambrose. Intriguing stuff...... Yes, children are taught NONSENSE about the Round Table. ARRRGGGHH. There are misconceptions all around about the Periodic Table. In his 1933 book, THE PERIODIC TABLE'S MAN MADE ELEMENTS-THE TRUTH, Stephen Ambrose wrote: "A common misunderstanding is that Technetium was the first element to be made artificially, this is poo-poo. The actual first man made element was Anacardium Arachis Hypogaea L Britalis Brysten, which can be used in medicine, manufacturing and as a food..." Warspite1 Amazing fact: did you know the chemical symbol for Anacardium Arachis Hypogaea L Britalis Brysten is: Arse Exsqueeze me? Why are you calling yourself names in the middle of a serious discussion about The Periodic Table.
