It is said to be the weapon with which Roman legionary Longinus pierced Jesus Christ’s side after his crucifixion.

    I reckon that the Americans kept the original and gave a counterfeit copy to the Austrians

    Keep on mind the lance is only a lance it doesn't possess magic powers.
  • A thrilled historical coverage documentary about this Holy Lance......through existence several Holy Lance's as ceremonial spares ( Lance's) ,real Lance disappeared ...

    Interesting documentary, but the narrator's pronunciation of the word "hypothesis" at 32:24 and 45:02 is downright embarrassing.

    Innocent the 8ths tomb has Christopher Columbus’s signature on it. Columbus flew the flag of the templars on his ships.. there’s also a rumor that Giovanni cybo was a knight before he was pope innocent the 8th…
  • We are talking about the spear of. destiny. It first showed up publicly in the hands of Charlemagne when he defeated the Moors. It again showed up when it was stolen by Hitler when he raced to Austria, broke in to the museum dedicated to the Holy Roman Empire, smashed the protective glass on the wall and stole the spear. His victories followed. After D-Day , the USA was still embroiled in the Pacific. In Europe, a lieutenant discovered a bunker in which the spear was stored amongst a ton of Nazi Loot. Theb same weekend we dropped the A Bomb on Hiroshima.

    Umm - the Roman troops used a pilum - not a spear with a head like that!
  • @Andy_Babb
    Yeah this spear found a thousand years after a crucifixion in a city with spears buried everywhere is definitely the exact same one. Totally logical. 🙄 biblical history is pretty fascinating (the real history, not the fiction) without having to add in fake artifacts

    10:14 “this would make explain” lol so it’s definitely AI narration. I get it’s cheaper and easier but wth! It’s so frustrating when I want to listen to a really interesting topic at night and get that awful computerized voice
  • @Andy_Babb
    He said Longinus wrong lol is this another one of those AI narrators? I miss human narrators 😞
  • @MrSebby13
    The part where you said "In 1946 The American Government returned it to the Austrians" That's laughable, as the American Government would never do such a thing. LOL Maybe it really is in a crate somewhere at Area 51 lol
