[quote]Two historians claim they've identified the holy grail that Jesus drank from at the last supper, according to AFP.
León University medieval history lecturer Margarita Torres and art historian José Manuel Ortega del Rio make the claim in their book "Kings of the Grail," published last week.[/quote]

No word on if it makes you immortal or not yet.
Bullshit, Jesus wouldn't drink from a cup that extravagant
if indiana jones taught me anything drinking from that will turn me into a skeleton
that doesn't look like something jesus would use
I wonder if an angel descended from heaven and gave the scientists a testimonial of proof that this was the real Grail :v:
That looks so incredibly badly made it's not even funny.
looks kinda wonky

[quote]The researchers' investigation "led them to identify the upper part of [the Doña Urraca] goblet, made of agate and missing a fragment as described in the parchments, as the grail," according to the Guardian.[/quote]
It's had a bunch of extra bits stuck on over the years.
How would a carpenter afford such a cup?
[quote]In 2011, two medieval Egyptian parchments were discovered that mentioned the chalice of Christ, saying it was taken from Jerusalem to Cairo. From there, records show that an emir in Muslim Spain received it as a reward for helping the Egyptians during a famine. Finally, it arrived in Christendom in the 11th century after being presented to King Fernando as a gift.[/quote]
I wouldn't be surprised if all the expensive stuff was added to it by the previous owners
It looks like its got old smarties and moldy kidney beans stuck to it wtf
[QUOTE=Explosions;44431007]How would a carpenter afford such a cup?[/QUOTE]
Simple, it was donated to him by a devotee.
:v:
The real cup was made of wood and wood only, the gold gilding would've been added later in order to ordain it properly to signify it's importance as a holy relic. Problem is, there's like 4 other ones that have the same plausibility as being the real grail as well, how can you prove this to begin with anyway?

If you don't turn into a skeleton when you drink from it, it's probably real

Wait for the second coming and ask.

I would have said that the original cup would be something incredibly plain, but now you mention it, it's pretty much a given that some idiot would cover it in gold bullshit to give it the preconception we all have.

"Uumm... aww jee it was like, 2000 years ago lot's of shits happened since then idk, ask my dad"
Just by looking at it I can guarantee if you turn it over it would say "Made in China."

Hey, whichever idiot did that was probably just trying to show their love for the Lord. Or they were trying to get some sins cleaned up.

It could just as easily been a badly interpreted IKEA assembly piece.

I agree, probably been treated like a bible belt car bumper.
that does seem to be the vatican's approach to most things, now that you mention it
[QUOTE=Rents;44431078]Wait for the second coming and ask.[/QUOTE]
Hey bro, you want a drink?
"Sure, lemme get my cup"
turns out to be this

Yeah hah. It's sad that people think Jesus would have drank out of what looks like a 13th century goblet when, y'know, he died like 2014 years ago.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;44430970]Bullshit, Jesus wouldn't drink from a cup that extravagant[/QUOTE]
[I]If[/I] that is the real Grail, the gold and shit got added on over the centuries by the church and random owners. The original would be buried inside.
Retrieve DNA samples and create Clone-Jesus
Thats not the cup of a Carpenter
[QUOTE=Protocol7;44431124]Yeah hah. It's sad that people think Jesus would have drank out of what looks like a 13th century goblet when, y'know, he died like 2014 years ago.[/QUOTE]
More like 1985 years ago. He died in like 30 AD.
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;44431162]Retrieve DNA samples and create Clone-Jesus[/QUOTE]
Nope, there wouldn't be nearly any usable DNA left to even clone an apostle. Not after what they did to that cup.
I was expecting the Badage Boys
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;44431185]More like 1985 years ago. He died in like 30 AD.[/QUOTE]
Huh. I always thought AD meant "after death," but a quick google search debunks that. Learn something new every day.
Damn, Hitler was right!

Yeah it's funky. I guess people weren't really good at keeping records back then.
