Walking with Wizards - a photo on Flickriver

            Glastonbury is steeped in history, myth and legend. It is reputed to be the location of Avalon, the magical site of the court of King Arthur, the knights of the round table, the Lady of the Lake and the wizard, Merlin et al. 

People from all over the world flock in their thousands every year to soak up this ambience. Glastonbury is unique.  

But it seems -

Glastonbury legend was 'fabricated by 12th century monks desperate to raise cash'

Archaeologists find that Glastonbury's links to Jesus and King Arthur were concocted to attract pilgrims.

The famous legends of King Arthur and his round table, among other ancient myths, were stories made up and peddled by enterprising monks at Glastonbury Abbey to make some cash, say researchers. What’s more, these legends muddied modern research into the site by “clouding the judgement” of past experts.

These are the claims being made recently by a team archaeologists from the University of Reading in UK after a four year study. 

And its still going on today.
