I found it, it was hidden as a child's sippy cup...

Spanish historians claim they’ve discovered the 2,000-year-old Holy Chalice, the biblical cup that Jesus Christ used during the Last Supper.
Margarita Torres, a medieval history lecturer at León University and Jose Ortiza del Rio, an art historian, penned a new book claiming that years of research has led them to conclude that Christ’s chalice is somehow inside a medieval goblet that has been on display in Spain for 1,000 years, Daily Mail reported.
Residing inside the Basilica of San Isidoro, a church in Spain that is located on the site of an ancient Roman temple, the goblet — known as the Infanta Dona Urraca — belonged to Queen Urraca, who died in A.D. 1126.
Historians Explosive Claim: Theyve Found the Holy Grail Two employees of of the museum and a guest (L) watch what was known until now as the goblet of the Infanta Dona Urraca — daughter of Fernando I, King of Leon from 1037 to 1065 — in the museum of the Basilica of San Isidoro in Leon, northern Spain on March 31, 2014.
Torres and del Rio’s theory, which they document in their new book, “The Kings of the Grail,” certainly seems wild, though the two say they have evidence from two Egyptian scrolls that corroborates their claims.
Unveiling their findings last Wednesday, the two explained that they found documents referencing the chalice at Cairo’s University of al-Azhar while researching the history if Islamic remains at the Basilica of San Isidoro, the Irish Times reported.
The documents, written in Arabic, reportedly say that Muslims stole the chalice from Jerusalem and that it was given to Christians in Egypt. Then, they claim it was somehow sent to King Fernando I of Castile as a gift, disguised with jewels and other adornments.

“disguised with jewels? Plausible? what would there reason for DISGUISING a cup have been It would have been far FAR easier to HIDE it....Id think”
Your statement is a non-sequitur, much like your Roman alphabet statements. Are you intentionally dissembling?
hardly
why disguise a cup?
is there some reason to assume that anyone would have claimed it to be anything out of the ordinary had it been displayed as is?
Hiding it by decorating it seems a oddly circuitous.
poppiecock and balderdash
they cant prove this.
saw the Spear of Longinus mentioned in “Spear of Destiny” by Trevor Ravenscroft at the Shatzkammer in Vienna
Was interesting if for nothing other than the many people throughout history that did believe in its authenticity
I found it, it was hidden as a child's sippy cup...
Well.... Unless somehow the traditional utensils for observing the Seder meal included Latin inscriptions back in the first century AD, something I am highly skeptical of, this cup ain't it...
Lest we forget, it was the Passover meal..
Also lotta coin, but no Koine, either.
I could believe Judas would have used such...paid for out of some of the missing funds from the money-bag he was in charge of...but never would I believe Jesus would.
I guess their find of the holy grail is just one more of the thousands who claimed the same feat in the past.
Notice: They have not actually found the grail, only think they know where it is......just like the thousands before them.
I had a feeling that Zoot and Dingo would be mentioned in this thread.
its highly suspect
Context is everything
ahahaha VERY GOOD
Ill call the museum and tell them its on it;s way/
