Spaniards Margarita Torred and Jose Ortega del Rio claim to have found the cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper. There are still a few minor difficulties to be worked out:
The age of the cup in question is estimated to be between 200 BC and 100 AD. However, the first 400 years of the cup's history remains a mystery and scientists cannot prove whether or not Jesus actually ever drank from the cup.

Made of agate, gold and onyx and encrusted with precious stones, the object in León is formed by two goblets joined together, with one turned up, the other down.
It has been known until now as the goblet of the Infanta Doña Urraca, daughter of Fernando I, King of León from 1037 to 1065.
If these two intrepid archeologists can nail down where that cup was rattling around for a paltry four hundred years, they might really have a find on their hands!
