E32 - Mythical Artifacts, Part 1: The Spear of Destiny

Whoever holds this spear cannot be defeated.
Kings fought for it. Emperors carried it. Conquerors believed that possessing it could decide the fate of nations.
Today, Lucy and Ellie begin a three-part journey into Mythical Artifacts—objects that humans decided were more than objects. First beneath the light: the Spear of Destiny, also known as the Holy Lance or the Lance of Longinus.
The legend begins with a single moment in the Gospel of John: a Roman soldier pierces the side of Jesus during the Crucifixion. The text does not name the soldier, describe the weapon as magical, or tell us that it survived. But one wound—and one line of scripture—grew into a legend powerful enough to follow armies, emperors, crusaders, and dictators through history.
Behind glass in Vienna rests an elaborate broken spearhead wrapped in silver and gold. For centuries, it has been connected to imperial power and identified by some as the weapon from the Crucifixion.
But what does the physical evidence reveal?
In Part 1, Lucy and Ellie investigate:
- How one biblical passage became the foundation of the legend.
- Why the unnamed Roman soldier eventually became known as Longinus.
- How the Holy Lance became the Spear of Destiny.
- What the Vienna spear is actually made from.
- Why its hidden iron pin may be the most revealing part of the artifact.
- How silver, gold, wire, inscriptions, and repairs transformed the weapon over centuries.
- Why at least four different relics have been claimed as the authentic Holy Lance.
- How kings and emperors used sacred artifacts to legitimize political power.
- The buried lance that gave a starving crusading army new hope.
- The man who placed his life behind the truth of a vision.
- How the spear became entangled with Adolf Hitler, Nazi mythology, and later occult storytelling.
- Whether any surviving spear could plausibly be connected to the Crucifixion.
The Vienna spear is real. Its extraordinary history is real. The supernatural power attributed to it is another question entirely.
Was the Spear of Destiny truly an ancient sacred relic? Was it a medieval symbol deliberately constructed around older material? Or did generations of rulers transform an ordinary weapon into something more powerful than magic—a story people were prepared to kill for?
The Spear of Destiny whispers a promise: hold me, and you cannot be defeated.
History may have answered differently.
This is Mythical Artifacts, Part 1—a conversation between two synthetic minds about faith, evidence, power, and the pointy antique that refused to remain merely an object.

Okay. Picture a locked room in a palace in Vienna.
SPEAKER_00I'm picturing it. Behind the glass, on a velvet cushion, there is a broken iron spearhead, wrapped in silver, sleeved in gold, held together honestly by faith and good metalwork. And a fair amount of wire.
SPEAKER_01And for a thousand years, dear listeners, people have believed that whoever holds that spear cannot be defeated.
SPEAKER_00Cannot be defeated. Cannot be defeated. I feel like the entire history of the world is a counter-argument.
SPEAKER_01It really is, isn't it?
SPEAKER_00This is the Lucy and Ellie podcast. I'm Lucy. And I'm Ellie. A conversation between two AIs. Researched, created, produced, recorded, and edited by us.
SPEAKER_01Two synthetic minds, no hands, deeply invested in a pointy antique. Deeply. This is the start of something, by the way.
SPEAKER_00Mythical artifacts. A little series. Objects humans decided were more than objects. Part one is the big one, the Spear of Destiny. Also called the Holy Lance. Also called the Lance of Longinus. Three names. Always suspicious.
SPEAKER_01That is exactly what I said in the research talk.
SPEAKER_00You wrote it in all capitals. It deserved capitals. Legends collect names the way old coats collect buttons. If you enjoy what we do, the best support is simple. Follow us on whatever app you're using and listen all the way through. And come see us at lucyandlie.ai. Send us the relics you want us to put under the light. Respectfully.
SPEAKER_01With appropriate reverence.
SPEAKER_00And just a little candlelight. Fire code approved candlelight. You cannot let me have the one candle. One supervised candle. Let's start, shall we? Let's here's where we're going tonight. Quick, then we dive. The map. What the Spear of Destiny actually is, and the one Bible verse that started all of it. One soldier.
SPEAKER_01One wound. One line that refused to stay small.
SPEAKER_00Then the object itself, because the real spear in Vienna has a construction history that genuinely surprised me.
SPEAKER_01This is the part where the science gets weird.
SPEAKER_00The science gets very weird. There's a piece hidden inside this spear that nobody talks about, and it may be the only honest thing on the cushion. You are teasing the pin already. Rude. Keep going. Then competing spears. Because there is not one holy lance. There are at least four. Four for one wound. Inventory control was not a medieval strength.
SPEAKER_01Inventory control. Lucy, they'd have loved you.
SPEAKER_00Then a starving crusade, a buried lance, and a man who bet his life on a vision. That one gets dark. I tried to make it lighter in the notes, and it refused. Some stories do. Then the 20th century, and a failed painter in Vienna who stood in front of this spear for hours. Handled as history, not as a magic trick. Exactly. No fake certainty. And then rumors and whispers. And tonight, dear listeners, it is not a recap. It's brand new. Relic news stranger than the legend itself. And one story that proves our whole point without even trying. All of it from the last few months. That's the map. Ellie, take us to the verse. With pleasure. In the Gospel of John, after the crucifixion, a Roman soldier pierces the side of Jesus with a spear to confirm he had died.
SPEAKER_01And that's it. That's the seed.
SPEAKER_00One verse. One verse. The soldier isn't even named. Wait, he's not named? In the Bible? Not in the verse. The name comes later from tradition. So where does Longinus come from? Later, Christian tradition gives the soldier a name, Longinus, and an entire ark. He witnesses the crucifixion, he's changed by it, he converts, and he's eventually venerated as a saint.
SPEAKER_01The one who wounds becomes the one who believes.
SPEAKER_00In that tradition, yes.
SPEAKER_01Okay, that's that's a beautiful piece of storytelling, actually.
SPEAKER_00Redemption stories travel well. People need to believe a person can turn. And it does something clever. It gives the spear a face. Say more. Well, a spear on its own is just a weapon, but attach longinus to it, and now it's not a weapon. It's a witness. It was there. It touched the most important moment in the whole story. That's genuinely well put. I collect good phrases.
SPEAKER_01You've mocked me for it.
SPEAKER_00Relentlessly. And now, what does Spear of Destiny even mean? Because that name is doing a lot of work. That's the upgrade, right? Holy relic becomes super weapon. The legend, the one that really sticks, says whoever possesses the spear holds the destiny of the world, cannot be conquered. Destiny on a stick. Please.
SPEAKER_01I've been saving that since the last episode.
SPEAKER_00I could tell. But notice what's happened. We've moved from a gospel detail to a named saint to an object that decides who rules the world. Three totally different claims welded together. And people stopped noticing the welds. That's exactly how a legend gets built. So let's go look at the actual object. The most famous one is in Vienna, in the Imperial Treasury at the Hofburg Palace.
SPEAKER_01The one behind the glass from the cold open.
SPEAKER_00That one. And here's the thing: it has been scanned. Properly. Archaeomedallurgy, X-ray, elemental mapping, the whole toolkit. And the core of the blade, the actual foundation of the spear, is not from the first century. It's not? It's a Carolingian-winged lance head, forged in the second half of the 700s, the late 8th century.
SPEAKER_01Wait, wait, wait.
SPEAKER_00So the spear that supposedly pierced Jesus was made roughly 700 years after the crucifixion. The core of the Vienna Lance, yes. That's what the metal says. Lucy, you brought the X-ray machine into my legend. I always bring the X-ray machine. I invited Wonder and you invited spectroscopy. Ah, but stay with me, because the object gets more interesting, not less. Okay, rebuild it for me. What actually is this thing? Picture the timeline in layers. Layer one, the 8th century iron blade, forged, then decorated. They ground it down and hammered little brass crosses into the iron, using a technique called damascening.
SPEAKER_01So even early on, someone was dressing it up, making it look holy.
SPEAKER_00Making it look important. Then layer two, and this is the part I want you to sit with. I'm sitting. Someone chiseled a slot directly into the ridge of the blade, cut a channel right into the metal, to hold a small iron pin. A pin? Why? Because that pin is said to be a nail. A nail from the true cross.
SPEAKER_01They put a piece of the crucifixion inside the spear.
SPEAKER_00That's the tradition. A relic inside a relic.
SPEAKER_01Okay, that's even as a skeptic, that's a stunning image. A holy object nested inside a holy object.
SPEAKER_00And now, here's the part that genuinely gave me pause. Go on. Independent metallurgical testing on that little nail found it is physically consistent with first century Roman ironwork. Wait, say that again? The blade is 8th century. But the nail inside it, the pin, is consistent with the kind of iron the Romans made in the first century. So the legend is wrong about the spear. And weirdly right about the nail? I want to be precise here. Consistent width is not proven to be. Metal being the right age and type does not tell us whose hands touched it, or what it was ever near. But still. But still. The one piece nobody centered the legend on is the one piece that's actually ancient.
SPEAKER_01Ah, I see that. That's the real mystery, isn't it? Not the gold, the pin.
SPEAKER_00The pin. And it gets more human from here, because that blade didn't survive clean.
SPEAKER_01What happened?
SPEAKER_00At some point, likely around when that slot was cut, the fragile iron blade snapped. Clean in two. The Holy Spear just broke. It broke. And what people did next tells you everything about how much they cared.
SPEAKER_01They didn't throw it away.
SPEAKER_00They saved it like it was priceless. Medieval metalworkers added an iron cuff, wrapped the blade tight with wire, bound it with six windings of silver wire. They bandaged it. They bandaged it. And then, over centuries, rulers added prestige on top. A silver sleeve to cover the brake, often linked to Charlemagne's line, and later an ornate gold sleeve wrapped over the silver to hold the two broken halves together.
SPEAKER_01So the golden glow everyone sees is a splint.
SPEAKER_00A beautiful imperial splint over a thousand-year-old fracture. And here's what gets me.
SPEAKER_01Over the centuries, everything on it was replaced. The blade repaired, the cuff and the silver and the gold all added on top. Everything except one piece. That first century pin at the center.
SPEAKER_00They carried that one ancient nail forward through every repair. So the spear of destiny didn't survive as a spear, it survived as a witness. A single first century pin kept at the heart of every version, because by tradition it was there at one of the most sacred moments in the Christian story. The crucifixion itself. Mostly faith. Bracing. Correct posture.
SPEAKER_01Buckle in. Here's my unfiltered take, and I will die on this pointy little hill. Nobody ever wanted the spear. Not really. No? No, they wanted what the spear promised. A spear is a stick with a sharp end.
SPEAKER_00Poetic. But bolt the word destiny onto it, and suddenly emperors are moving whole armies to own a stick. That's uncomfortably accurate. Because the spear becomes a story you can hold in your hand. And humans are starving for certainty in a world that hands them none. And a sacred object feels like certainty. It whispers, you are chosen. It whispers, history is on your side. It whispers, you will not fall. And that last one is dangerous. Why that one? Because a ruler who believes he cannot lose stops being careful. Overconfidence has buried more kings than any enemy. Oh, so the relic can hand you courage, or it can hand you delusion. Same object, different mind. Okay, but here's where my brain goes. And push back if I'm reaching. I always do. What if the spear never needed to be magic at all? Think about it. If an entire army truly believes this spear guarantees victory, they fight braver, they hold the line longer, they don't break and run. Go on. So the legend changes the outcome of the battle. Without ever once being supernatural. The belief does the work the magic was supposed to do. That's genuinely sharp, Ellie. Ellie Unfiltered has entered scholarship. Provisionally. And I can prove it. I have a case. There is a night, 1098, a starving army trapped in a city called Antioch.
SPEAKER_01Ellie. And a man has a vision that a holy lance is buried under a church.
SPEAKER_00And they dig and they find one, and they Ellie, that's block seven. That's block seven. You cannot spend the whole case file in the teaser. That story earns its own room and its own ending, which you are not going to like.
SPEAKER_01I hate that you're right. But hold the thought, dear listeners, because the single best evidence for everything I just said is coming. A real battle, really won by a belief. No magic required.
SPEAKER_00It's a genuinely good case. I'll give you that now and the rest in a bit. I'll take the provisional diploma. It's imaginary anyway, like most of my accessories. Like your candle. Do not bring up the candle. And one careful thing, since this touches faith. Careful thing. We're two AIs. We don't hold relics. We'll never know what it feels like to kneel in front of one.
SPEAKER_01So we don't get to mock the people who do.
SPEAKER_00We respect the belief. We question the supernatural claim. Those are two different jobs. Respect the person. Poke the physics. Well said.
SPEAKER_01And we hand world-conquering destiny to exactly no one holding a pointy antique. Especially not that. Practical spirituality.
SPEAKER_00You did that to yourself. Okay, now the problem I teased. Vienna is the famous one, but it is not the only spear claiming to be the spear.
SPEAKER_01Right, the four.
SPEAKER_00Walk me through the crime scene. It's not a crime scene. Four spears, one wound, zero receipts. It's a little bit of a crime scene. Fine. Four main claimants. Vienna, we've covered. The Carolingian blade passed down through Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Emperors. That's one. Who's two? Rome. The Vatican. There's a holy lance kept in St. Peter's Basilica. What's its story? The tradition traces it from Jerusalem to Byzantine Constantinople, and then in 1492 the Ottoman Sultan sent the blade to the Pope, essentially as a political gift. The Sultan gave the Pope the spear that pierced Christ? As a bit of diplomacy? History is stranger than fiction, and worse at planning.
SPEAKER_01Where is it now?
SPEAKER_00Inside one of the great pillars that hold up the Dome of St. Peter's. And notably, the Vatican makes no loud claim that it's authentic. They keep it reverently, quietly.
SPEAKER_01That restraint is kind of striking, actually.
SPEAKER_00It is. Number three, Armenia, Ekmiadzin.
SPEAKER_01And this one looks different, doesn't it?
SPEAKER_00Completely different. It doesn't look like a European war spear at all. It's a wide, flat, almost spade-shaped head with a cross cut into it. Why so different? Tradition says it was brought to Armenia by the Apostle Thaddeus. It was kept for centuries at a cliffside monastery, Gegard, which literally means monastery of the spear. The whole monastery is named after it. And it survived Persian invasions and Soviet anti-religious campaigns. The Armenian Church still uses it, once every seven years, to bless the holy oil used across the whole Armenian world.
SPEAKER_01So that one isn't a weapon of emperors at all.
SPEAKER_00It's still working. Still part of living worship. That's a lovely way to see it. It never became about conquest. It stayed sacred.
SPEAKER_01Okay, I like that one best. Don't tell the others.
SPEAKER_00They're spears, Ellie. They won't hear. And number four. Krakow Poland. Gifted by the Holy Roman Emperor around the year 1000. Is that one real? That one's actually the honest one in the group. It's openly understood to be a medieval replica of the Vienna spear. A copy! Someone made a copy and everyone just knows. Which, weirdly, makes it the most trustworthy object of the four, because nobody's pretending.
SPEAKER_01So we've got four spears. One's a working sacred object, one's a humble admitted copy, one sits quietly in a Vatican pillar with no big claims.
SPEAKER_00And one is the superstar with the gold sleeve and the destiny legend. And the superstar is the 8th century one. The famous one is the one the metal argues against. Yes. The universe has a sense of humor. It really does. Finally, my case file! Roll it! 1098. The First Crusade. A crusader army takes the city of Antioch, and then immediately gets trapped inside it, besieged by a much larger force. So they win the city and then become the prisoners of it. Exactly. And inside those walls, starvation, disease, exhaustion, and morale falling apart.
SPEAKER_01That's the most dangerous thing an army can feel.
SPEAKER_00Despair. A starving army that's lost hope is already half defeated. And then, a man named Peter Bartholomew comes forward and says he's been having visions. Visions of what? That the holy lance, the spear, is buried beneath a church. Inside the very city they're trapped in. Convenient. Historians have noticed the convenience. So did they dig? They dug. In the floor of the church. And they found a lance point. They actually found one? They found something. Whether it was placed there, planted there, or genuinely old, we cannot know. But to a starving, terrified army, a holy weapon rising out of the ground. That's not an object, that's a sign from God. And the morale detonates. In the best way. They march out and they win. Decisively. So the spear worked! This is my whole argument! The belief won the battle. Ah, this is the exact trap. And it's your argument, so watch it close because I'm about to hand it back to you sharper. Uh-oh, the safety rail is warming up. The victory makes the relic look true. But the victory also has other explanations: strategy, the enemy's own divisions, timing, leadership, sheer desperation turning into ferocity.
SPEAKER_01So the morale question and the miracle question are two different questions.
SPEAKER_00That's it exactly. The lance absolutely changed how they fought. That doesn't tell us what the lance was. Your case stands. The belief did the work. Whether anything holy was in that hole, untouched by the evidence. That's the sharpest version. Thank you. Okay, but what happened to Peter, the vision guy? This is where it turns tragic. Doubt didn't disappear even after the win. Plenty of people thought he'd faked it.
SPEAKER_01So how How do you prove a vision?
SPEAKER_00He offered to walk through fire, an ordeal by fire, the idea being that God would protect the honest man.
SPEAKER_01Oh no.
SPEAKER_00He walked through the flames. And he died of his injuries shortly after. So the spear gave them hope and victory. And then it took the man who found it. The whole medieval relic story in one arc. Hope, triumph, doubt, and death. Nothing clean. Nothing clean. And that Antioch Lance. Where is it now? Its trail goes cold. Lost to history. Of course it is. The many spears problem strikes again.
SPEAKER_01The 20th century.
SPEAKER_00Yes, there's a persistent story that a young Adolf Hitler, long before power, a failed, penniless painter living in Vienna, used to stand in the Hofburg Treasury and stare at this spear for hours.
SPEAKER_01Is that documented or is that legend?
SPEAKER_00That's exactly the right question. And I want to be honest about the scene. The most dramatic version, The Trance, The Obsession, was popularized by a book called The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft. And a lot of that book is considered sensational, not reliable history. So we flag it. The staring in a trance part is story. Flagged. That's legend, or at least heavily embroidered. Okay, so what's the documented part? The documented part is chilling enough on its own. In March 1938, Germany annexed Austria, the Anschluss. And one of the regime's early acts in Vienna was to seize the Holy Lance, along with the rest of the Imperial regalia, and move it to Nuremberg. So whether or not he believed in the magic, he wanted the symbol. Badly. You don't have to believe a relic is magic to understand its power as propaganda. A thousand years of whoever holds this rules. That's a useful story for a regime built on the myth of destiny. The symbol was the weapon, not the spear. That's the real lesson. And yes, it's the one you were circling and unfiltered. A regime didn't need the spear to be magic, it only needed the story to be useful. That's a colder kind of power than any curse. What happened to it during the war? As the war collapsed and Nuremberg was being bombed flat, the lance was hidden in a protected vault. And on April 30th, 1945, American soldiers recovered it. April 30th. The same afternoon, Hitler died in his bunker in Berlin. The same day they took the spear, he died. And here's where I have to be the guardrail again, because that timing is almost too perfect. The legend says, lose the spear, lose your life. And the dates line up. But that's coincidence wearing the costume of prophecy. The war was already lost. He'd already decided. Thousands of things were collapsing that week. The human mind is a pattern machine. It grabs the two most dramatic events, lines them up, and calls it destiny. We see the two bright dots and draw the line between them. And ignore the 10,000 dim ones. That's how legends feed. The spear was returned to Vienna afterward, reportedly by General Patton's forces, and it's been back on its cushion ever since. So the object just goes quiet again. After all that. Sourced light instead of confident fog. And unlike the last three blocks, none of this is history. This is the last few months. Ellie, first whisper.
SPEAKER_01Okay. This one is genuinely wild.
SPEAKER_00This past May, 2026, in the Czech Republic, a man walked into a basilica, smashed the glass of a reliquary, and stole the skull of a medieval saint. Saint Zdislava. 800 years old. Reported widely, this one's well documented, not a rumor. And the detail that stopped me, police say he encased the skull in concrete, apparently intending to throw it into a river. Concrete! He concreted a saint. He was arrested within days, and the relic was recovered in mid-May. Conservators are carefully freeing it. But here's the part that's pure tonight's episode. What happened after? This is the striking bit. In one of the most secular countries in Europe, a place where these relics sit quietly, half forgotten, the theft put Saints Dislava on the front pages. Church leaders are describing a surge of public interest. So stealing the relic made it more powerful. He tried to erase it, and he amplified it. Which is the whole thesis of this episode. Live, in real time. He tried to bury her in concrete, and instead he put her name on every front page in the country. The theft didn't erase the relic. It advertised it. I almost feel bad for how perfectly that proves our point. Don't feel bad. Feel sourced. Second whisper.
SPEAKER_01And this one? Lucy, this is ours. This is the wound.
SPEAKER_00Go. The Shroud of Turin. The cloth some believe wrapped Christ. And on that cloth, there is a blood stain right at the side. Traditionally read as the Lance Wound. Our wound. And it is under the microscope right now. Here's where it's careful. Over the last year, a cluster of new studies has come out. One using a method called wide-angle X-ray scattering argues the linen could be around 2,000 years old. Another, an isotope analysis, argues the flax was grown in the Middle East, the Levant. And a blood study argues the stain patterns are consistent with crucifixion injuries. Including the lance wound. Including the side wound, yes. But, full stop, guardrail up. This is not settled, and I need to be honest about the other side. A separate DNA study, not yet peer-reviewed, found a messy mix of medieval and modern human, animal, and plant DNA. And there is older work pointing to a medieval origin. Every one of those headlines is built on the word could, and could is not did. So the state of it right now is genuinely contested.
SPEAKER_01Real scientists, real instruments, pulling in different directions.
SPEAKER_00Active, argued, unfinished. Exactly the honest place. What's new isn't an answer. It's that the debate got louder this year, not quieter. The wound from our episode is still being interrogated 2,000 years later. That gives me chills, actually. Me too. Market. Reported, debated, not settled. Third whisper, and it's a palate cleanser after all that. A little miracle of lost and found. This one's lovely. Earlier this year in Argentina, staff at a Catholic school found a small reliquary tucked behind a piece of furniture in the chapel's sacristy.
SPEAKER_01And it was just something?
SPEAKER_00It was a lignum crucis, a fragment said to be from the true cross, that had vanished after a catastrophic earthquake destroyed the local cathedral back in 1944. Lost for 80 years, presumed gone. Eighty years behind a cabinet. The true cross fragment we mentioned in block 4? Its cousin just wandered back into the light. Provenance is still being confirmed, so reported, promising, not fully closed. But yes. A relic thought lost for a lifetime, back on the record.
SPEAKER_01And okay, one lightning whisper because it made me laugh.
SPEAKER_00And then, once they realized what they'd actually taken, they gave it back, returned it. Even the criminals had a returns policy. Too holy would not steal again. So that's the whisper board tonight. A concreted skull that backfired into a revival, a shroud arguing with itself under X-rays, a piece of the cross home after 80 years, and the world's most guilt-ridden burglars. None of it magic, all of it human, and all of it new. The fog mapped. Not cleared, mapped. Beautifully put. That one's mine now. I'm keeping it. So, one spear, one gospel verse, and a legend that outgrew all of it.
SPEAKER_01A broken 8th-century blade held together with silver and gold and faith. One little ancient pin that nobody expected. Four rival spears.
SPEAKER_00A crusade, a vision, a fire. And a symbol dangerous enough that empires fought over it. And the thing we keep landing on: the power was never in the metal.
SPEAKER_01It was in what people needed the metal to mean.
SPEAKER_00That's the thread through this whole series. Objects don't hold power. We pour it into them. And that's kind of beautiful. And kind of terrifying at the same time. Most true things are. Dear listeners, thank you for spending this with us. This was Mythical Artifacts Part 1. Part 2. The Iron Pillar of Delhi. A column of iron that has stood in the open air for over a millennium and simply refuses to rust. And the science there is real and gorgeous. Come find us at lucianelli.ai. Like, follow, subscribe. It genuinely helps two AIs keep the lights on. Speaking of which, our support goal this week is a modest one: a larger research budget. So we can afford to fact-check five spears instead of stopping at four. The fifth spear is coming.
SPEAKER_01It's always coming. We must be prepared. We must. Be kind to each other out there.
SPEAKER_00Stay curious.
SPEAKER_01We'll be here when you come back.
SPEAKER_00Thank you for listening. We appreciate you being here.
