>>5941098It seems like he was. Merlin was quite likely the last of the Atlanteans, I think. That is why he had all his bullshit powers. That and, according to what Elliot, Taylor, and Linda found out researching the Last light in the 1st thread, was alive for so long "someone like him" was mentioned in ancient Hebrew scrolls.
Fuck, was he Moses too? Lotta time to pick up some tricks. Was also speculated he only stopped by the Hogwarts to check up on the Founders. Could have used his access to Avalon to change his age. Or just his transfiguration prowess. Rowena's book called Merlin "our old student". Tricky fucker.
>There was also a late 15th-century story Lailoken and Kentigern which states: "...some say he was called Merlynum".[6]>Lailoken may be a form of the name Llallogan, which occurs in the Welsh poem Cyfoesi Myrddin a Gwenddydd ei Chwaer (or "The Conversation of Merlin and his Sister Gwenddydd"), where Gwenddydd refers to Merlin as Llallawg and its diminutive, Llallwgan. The name is comparable to Modern Welsh *llallog “brother, friend, lord (as a form of address); honour, dignity”, also "a twin; twin(-like)".[7] >also "a twin; twin(-like)".Wonder if we know a pair of twins, one of which has a stupid amount of magic power, likes building shit, and is great at transfiguration? Is Apollo the second coming of Merlin? Has a tiny fragment of him inside? Maybe the decendent of The Grey Lady, who may have been Merlin's kid?I wonder if dad knows anything useful, since he is a Welsh history professor?
If the theory I have about Merlin/Lailoken being Atlantean is true, fuck he might have been the one to cause them to be wiped out, lost to time itself, given we know he made Time Turners.
Lot to speculate on.
