A cup, a chalice, a cauldron or the most powerful bloodline on Earth that has been in power for millennia before recorded history? The Holy Grail has become so many things to so many people. Over a vast period of time its story has evolved, changed, morphed, merged and been manipulated. We are told it originated with the man called Jesus Christ, that it was the chalice which caught his blood as he died upon the cross. And yet, it already existed in order to do so as it was already held sacred and dear to those with forbidden knowledge and this is why it was used to collect the holy blood of the most holy man. It has become a corner stone of Royal power and holds a secret so powerful that it could bring down a religion followed by over a billion people. Is it a gift from ancient aliens or even a relic of Atlantis? The real truth is much more interesting, and much more powerful.
