I doubt that this is the Holy Grail.

The "grail" would be fancy as it was used for a special occasion. But, all those jewels?
It DOES have a "beaten-up" look but I DON'T think it's the Real McCoy.
Do YOU?

A fancy grail? With gold and jewels? Did you actually read the article or simply look at the photo and then post your comment? Had you read the article, you would have learned that the cup is made of alabaster and dates to the 1st century. The gold and jewels are part of a 2nd cup that holds the original. Did you not catch this?
