As with "the Spear of Destiny" I am sure they made damn sure "Mona Lisa" is the original they have in possession. The age of radio carbon testing has made it extremely difficult for forgers to operate. Although the Italian who was arrested with the painting could have produced a "perfect copy" in the two years he held it in his possession. Afterall he was a painter. Of walls and celeins atleast...

Cartaphilus who was a Jewish shoemaker used it to pierce Jesus during the crucifiction and was sentenced to walk the Earth until the end of days. This person is still alive and has been trying to get his hands on it so that he could use it to in effectively end and wipe out the Earth so he can die

There is still a highly Catholic Military Order, namely the "Knights of Malta", the former Johannite Order, who rivalled the Templars.
- All are ordered disbanded and stripped.
then to reappear sometime in the 1930's Germany where Hitler had it
And where did he first see it? At around twelve, he saw the spearhead being exibited at Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
- Vienna is in Austria and it was moved out of Vienna around 1914 before the First World War broke out to hide it.
Cartaphilus who was a Jewish shoemaker used it to pierce Jesus during the crucifiction and was sentenced to walk the Earth until the end of days. This person is still alive and has been trying to get his hands on it so that he could use it to in effectively end and wipe out the Earth so he can die
There is a whole bunch of stories and traditions concerning the spear and some name the centurion Longinus, others Panthera, and now you relate him to a Jewish shoemaker. Can you please direct me to a place where I can read the myth you present?
- It is not a myth. Cartaphilus pierced Jesus with it during the procession in an attempt to stop the pain he was feeling. He thought he was doing a good thing that backfired upon him. No links exist due to the sensitive nature of the topic at hand. You have no faith if you try and poke holes in everything everyone says. That gets nothing constructive accomplished.
Put the rod, reel and tackle box away and stop phising for holes.
Cartaphilus: When Jesus was carrying His cross, Cartaphilus jeered 'Go on! Faster!' Jesus quietly replied 'I go, but thou
shalt wait till I come'. This anecdote originated in Armenia during the 13th century; later it found its way to Europe.
