A spear is a primitive weapon used for hunting and war, consisting of a shaft, usually of wood, with a sharpened head.
Spears were arguably one of the most common personal weapons from the late Bronze Age until the advent of firearms.
Sir James George Frazer in The Golden Bough noted the phallic nature of the spear and suggested the spear as a lance in the Arthurian Legends, paired with the Grail (as a symbol of female fertility), functioned symbolically as a symbol of male fertility.
The Spear of Destiny (also known as the Holy Lance, Holy Spear, Lance of Longinus, or Spear of Longinus) is claimed to be the spear that pierced the side of Jesus when he was on the cross (John 19:31-37).
The earliest reports of that Spear were circa A.D., described as having been on display in the basilica of Mount Zion in Jerusalem adjacent to the Crown of Thorns.
Their retelling of the Spear myth stretches from its purported creation in 3061 B.C. by Tubal-Cain, seventh generation grandson of Adam (the Spear was forged from a meteorite at the same time that he made the sword Excalibur), to Admiral Byrd’s battle (Operation Highjump) in the Antarctic against Nazis in their underground fortress in Neuschwabenland.
