Oh Oh I know *Raises Hand and Waves*

Backup animatronics for all the future presidents of the U.S. with dates of office pre-marked for clarity. :) *Just a joke really*

Or seriously, lets see it'll have to do with some kind of relic probably of one of the big three monotheist religions since those are the only ones that get REALLY irate at a little humor. Any religious relic from any one of those important enough to get in a plot will have enough cross-over into the other two, however it'll probably avoid anything islamic because of the worldwide furor that can ignite. Kay two left. Probably an early Cold War setting, thinking. Possibly a very early judeic relic pre-Moses era.

Idea 1: Something that proves Abraham defied god when he threw out Ishmael at his wife's behest? Maybe somewhere in the Caucuses down into possibly Iran (Iran was a big covert playground of the early cold war)
Idea 2: Something almost sure to offend somebody Noah's Ark resting high in the mountains of Turkey atop a glacier spotted by an early CIA reconnaisance plane.
Idea 3: Potentially offensive to monotheist in other way maybe? A relic of some ancient pagan god with actual power? That would almost inevitably offend people.
 

Spanish horror actor Paul Naschy once proposed a horror TV dealing with a bunch of evil characters looking for the crown Lucifer wore when he was cast out of heaven. I have no idea if there's any basis to that myth (i.e., Lucifer having a crown), but that would make for a good, controversial story.

Similarly, Christ's Crown of Thorns would be another good one (I don't know if someone else mentioned that).

The typo has been corrected. Apparently he meant McMuffin

It's a fossiled McMuffin sandwich. Why the Nazis want it? Do tell.
