Is the mythic Avalon really mean some kind of island or was it an optical illusion?
1. Was the Avalon the tidal island like Mont-Saint-Michel?
There is a possibility, that the mythic Avalon is the tidal island like some kind of Mont Saint-Michel on the coast of France, but if that thing is true, the island itself would exist only in the memories and myths. When we are thinking about this part of the story of this island, where the bodies of dead kings were taken that island might be on the drylands because there have been made many dams in Southern England after the written of Beowulf chronicles. The thing is that if the Avalon was the tidal island, there could be some kind of underwater ridge, what connects the island to the land, and the witches have used that ridge to walk on that island.
And if the Avalon was on the drylands rest of the time, that place was easy to cover from the people, who were not allowed to see the ancient rituals. The position of that place could be hidden by many ways, and sometimes I have thought, that this island might be in the middle of an artificial pond, what was made by damming the river, maybe especially for this kind of rituals, where a remarkable man was buried.
2. Was the Avalon caused by some kind of Fata morgana?
But there is another explanation for that place, and that is that entire Avalon was on the drylands. The thing is that there could be fata morgana or some kind of optical trick, what made people believe, that the king was taken to the island. That optical trick might be that there would be some hill, what rises above the fog, and that would be thought of as an island.
Or the thing where the sun is shining in a certain corner would cause an effect, where people is hard to recognize, where the line of the clouds is beginning because the entire world is red. And that optical effect would cause that something, what is not physically existed can be believed as the island.
There is a possibility that the men, who took the body of the king to the place, where the boat was waiting, were really tired because that ritual must, of course, be made in the certain night. And they would not recognize that the boat was pulled on the mud, and of course the persons, who are called as "witches" would cause fear by using horns, what mission was too afraid those people, who were chosen to that ritual. And of course, one demand for those people was that the person was really superstitious. What happened at that place is a different story.
