Two historians claim they have found the Holy Grail, not sitting in a long forgotten tomb or cave filled with snakes, but in a museum. But maybe it’s too much bling for a carpenter to afford.

Made from gold, onyx and other precious stones, the cup isn’t exactly a modest object to be drinking wine out of. But in the book ‘Kings of the Grail’, Spanish historians Margarita Torres and José Manuel Ortega del Rio claim that the Holy Grail has been right under the public’s nose, perched in San Isidro Basilica León in Spain.

The problem is that the document that traces the origin of the cup back to Jerusalem was written in 1037 CE, more than a thousand years after the Grail’s story begins. And that’s where the trail stops. In that time period, trading in religious relics was a lucrative business, with many fakes earning big bucks.

Thus the thousand year old parchment is as credible as a comic book proving that being bitten by a radioactive spider makes you able to shoot crap from your wrists.
