Glastonbury Abbey in England is known for a rich and colorful history from its origins as being built by Joseph of Arimathea and the boy Jesus, to being the resting place for King Arthur and Guinevere. However, a four year study shows that those feet in ancient time did not walk upon England's mountains green, and that the Arthurian legend stories were made up by the 12th century monks to raise money to rebuild their beleaguered monestary.
