An adventurer and researcher promises to reveal the location of the Holy Grail once he obtains excavation permission.
The search for the Holy Grail has taken on mythical proportions over the centuries, and now one adventurous researcher—like a modern-day Indiana Jones—is adding fresh fuel to the fire of the Grail legend.
Mark Christopher Lee claims he has located the Holy Grail, the chalice from which Jesus Christ drank his last drink. Supposedly, it’s hidden in the most unlikely place, but Lee refuses to disclose the exact location until he receives official permission to begin excavations.
Lee asserts that the Holy Grail is buried in a town in Hertfordshire, a county known as the UK’s high-tech hub. He says he discovered the forgotten tomb of a Templar Knight where the Grail is believed to be concealed after years of intensive research. Convinced that this tomb is its true hiding place, he is now seeking permission to excavate. Until then, he won’t reveal the precise spot.
“I have studied Grail legends for years. I believe I have found evidence linking the Grail’s journey to England with Joseph of Arimathea, who was entrusted with Christ’s burial,” Lee said, adding that according to legend, the Grail was entrusted to Joseph himself.
Interpretations vary, suggesting that Joseph was supposed to carry it along with Mary Magdalene to France, where the Knights Templar guarded it. However, another theory holds that Joseph brought it to Great Britain, where it reached King Arthur’s Round Table.
References to the Holy Grail and King Arthur appear in 6th-century Welsh poems. It is also said that the Templars discovered the Grail on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, smuggled it secretly to England, and hid it somewhere in Hertfordshire.
Lee believes that the Grail ultimately passed into the hands of Sir Francis Bacon, a key figure in the secret Rosicrucian society of philosophers who sought to uncover spiritual wisdom and mastery over life.
