Hello people, tonight in a documentary I saw the Holy Grail.
Ha!, you say, we heard that one before.
SPOILER WARNING!
Anyone making it his life's task seeking the Holy Grail,
or seeking the Philospher's Stone should stop reading now!
Recently an overlooked inscription on the base of the "Holy Grail of Valencia" has been found: they are arabic letters, which have been translated
as "Lapis Exilis".
That means that the simple stone base cup of the vessel is the Philosopher's stone, or Holy Grail. I could now write a book about this Earth
shattering discovery, but I'm too busy otherwise.
The age and provenance of the stone vessel has the right credentials.
The Holy Grail is not recognized by the Vatican as having mystical powers, although the first popes celebrated mass with it.
What is interesting, is that the base of the vessel is identified as being the vessel of the last supper, bearing the Arabic inscription. The simple
stone vessel can be traced to the year 250, when it was given to the church. The vessel is identified as coming from between 50 BC to 50 AD.
This image I have rotated, so that the real "Holy Grail" is on the top. You must imagine this without the gold-encrusted embellishments. Carpenters
had no money for them.
The church then incorporated the "Grail" into the chalice of Valencia, and the popes sipped their wine from the wrong end. It is like (unwittingly)
turning a cross upside down and kissing it.
Therefore: here are a few links (I have not found a picture of the difficult to find and decipher Arabic lettering, which are the clincher in this
story:

All other claims worldwide have been dispelled so far, with the
exception of this one. And, for the Indiana Jones fans - it's not meant to be wooden, it's meant to be made of stone.
Spanish academic revives speculation about authenticity of the Holy Grail
Even more peculiar things get when we know that the Holy Cup ('Santo Cáliz') from the cathedral of
Valencia has an Arabic inscription that is read as 'alabsit sillîs' which comes close to our 'lapsit exillis'."
