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.

Oh, wicked, bad, naughty Zoot! She has been setting alight to our beacon, which, I just remembered, is grail-shaped. It's not the first time we've had this problem.

So what, I have George Washington’s hatchet.

The head has been replaced 7 times and the handle 12 times but it’s still his hatchet.

[NathanR]

Nor Greek either.

Bammy's been reaching for the HG.

Now, he has no chance?

GREAT!

though the two say they have evidence from two Egyptian scrolls that corroborates their claims.

Just like the Book of Mormon.

Yes, but is it reformed Egyptian?

[rdl6989]

Call me skeptical.

There obviously couldn’t be.

The disciples deserted the room and scattered that night when the soldiers took Yeshua. the cup would have been fired clay in all likelihood anyway, and would have born no special characteristics.

Yup.

Presumably someone who wanted to prevent it from being chipped or scratched, and wanted the carrying case to be as beautiful and respectful as they knew how to make it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If the encrustation was supposed to be a case, then oughtn’t it to permit removing the original cup?

This is probably just another symbolic replica. Let’s never forget what the cup symbolizes which is the Lord Himself.

Tie her down on a bed and spank her!

[Mannaggia l'America]

You mind if I call a buddy of mine to take a look at it?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Not interested. Already got one, you see.....

[MeshugeMikey]

Im no expert on the “grail” but Im guessing as its called the holy grail it had something to do with Jesus.

Jesus Wasnt a Roman. why would he have had a ROMAN cup?

[spokeshave]

....and if it turned up in the White House...Obama would send it back.
