The wine goblets have the last supper engraved in the wood and the word Jerusalum on the goblet.

I found a retailer online selling some hand-carved wooden goblets with The Last Supper carved on them from holylandmarket. They are made of Bethlehem olive wood and are quite chunky and ornate. These may not be precisely the goblets you have, but will indicate the general source. The goblets I found retail for $60 each.

Oh, so would I! I had no idea that such existed. That's seriously impressive. If you are ever in Dublin, I grew up in the suburbs, ten miles away from the main airport, and there is a national park with some original examples of Ogham carving, named after Patrick Pearse.
They date from from the 4th and 7th centuries BCE, and academics still can't decide whether they show Gaelic or Pictish inscriptions. It's great that yours are non-controversial and clear in what they commemorate. You could try offering them for sale on http://www.ebay.com/
Jesus spoke Aramaic, and could read, and write it - there are some villages in Israel where people might still recognise the engraved script on your artifacts.

My god man, you found a bunch of holy grails. If you have the whole set you can sell them to Dan Brown.
