One of the men of the Quraysh was angered by this and went to Sanaa. He slipped into the church at night and defiled it.

In 570, Antonius Placentius said that in the valleys of Mount Sinai there was a monastery in which the monks spoke Greek, Latin, Syriac, Egyptian and Bessian.

That obsession is reflected in Trevor Ravenscroft’s 1982 bestseller The Spear of Destiny, which has fixed his version of the legend in the minds of many today. It was Ravenscroft’s works that laid out that whosoever might hold the spear would have the power to conquer the world but losing it meant instant death. The history of those who actuall ...
