For a long time, it was introduced to tourists as the glass of 1 1 century queen Urraca. But two historians say that, in fact, it is undoubtedly the holy grail used by Jesus. In an explosive report, two historians expounded the results of their three-year "scientific research".
They pointed out that decisive evidence from Egyptian historical documents proved their theory. According to these scientists, this onyx container was made between 200 BC and AD 100, and was placed in a medieval wine glass decorated with jewels. Two medieval documents written in Arabic show that Muslims stole it from Jerusalem and gave it to Christian groups in Egypt.
Historians say that centuries later, around A.D. 1050, it was given as a gift to King Ferdinand I of Castile, just to thank the Spanish for helping Egypt during the famine. But at that time, it was covered by many decorations.
This cup is inlaid with gold, engraved with patterns on the edge, and decorated with a lot of pearls, emeralds, amethysts and sapphires. The Egyptian king wanted to pay tribute to Ferdinand I with such gorgeous and precious objects. St. Istrow's church has been kept in the storage room of this museum until it was opened in the 1950s.
