Thus Avalon was bought out by The Snakes.

以下内容来自古墓丽影中文站百科词条：传说中的阿瓦隆

阿瓦隆（Avalon）是亚瑟王传说中的精灵国度。亚瑟在与莫德雷德的激战中死亡（一说重伤），一艘船将他带到了阿瓦隆岛。在一些作者的笔下，亚瑟只是在那个岛长眠，总有一天他会回到英国重登王位。但另一些作者则没那么乐观，他们认为亚瑟确实是死了。

! s' p* J# D4 p1 h) k阿瓦隆的名字很可能是来自凯尔特语 abal，意思是“苹果”（apple）。在不列颠传说中，该岛以漂亮的苹果而闻名。还有人认为它是凯尔特语“Annwyn” 的英语化，Annwyn 意指仙女之地或冥间。在亚瑟王传说中，阿瓦隆四周为沼泽和迷雾所笼罩，只能通过小船抵达。岛上由精灵守护，没有时间和岁月，一切都不会老去。

* Q! r, e% u5 j4 f- `( S. L阿瓦隆也是传闻中耶稣随利马太的约瑟来到英国时所到之岛。在那里建立了英国第一个教堂。在这个传说中，人们认为，阿瓦隆就是今天位于英格兰西南的格拉斯顿堡（Glastonbury）。在凯尔特语中，Glastonbury 又被称为“Ynis Witrin”，意即玻璃岛（The Isle of Glass）。一种有趣的解释是，古代的玻璃镜乃青铜打磨而成，而格拉斯顿堡青葱一碧，颜色具象，故有此名。

另一个可能的地点是圣米歇尔山（Mont St. Michel）。这个传闻中亚瑟与巨人激战的地方建立在沙丘之上。据说利马太的约瑟曾在那里经营马口铁生意。约瑟后来将圣杯带到英国，在萨默塞特（Somerset）的格拉斯顿堡（Glastonbury）建立了第一个教会。据说他也曾带着他的侄子耶稣前往过英国。而圣经上关于耶稣成圣之前的经历保持沉默。
