If they really want them gone for good, they could have destroyed them first chance they get - throw the artefact into a volcano, or throw the keys into a volcano if they cannot destroy the artefact. They didn't need to separate the keys and send them away, they could just seal it in and melt the key.

That way would save a lot of trouble, right? Hear no evil, see no evil.

Interesting theory, but the problem is that you are appliying the rules of logic to a the mystical, which by definition defies lgic. The original seven knights would not have destroyed any religious relic for fear of the prospect of eternal damnation. The idea of hiding something so that a future "saviour" can utilise it in order to save the world has existed since the time of the old testament. Religious traditions foretll the coming of the messiah (Jewish), the second coming of Christ (Christian) and the appearance of the Mahdi (Islam). Secular traditions include the awakening of Timur the lame (Tamerlane), the awakening of Arthur and the knights of the round table, the retrun of Charlemagne and the return of Temujin (Ghengis Khan). A group of learned people steeped in such traditions would certainly hide something in such a way that only the foretold "ruler of the world" could find, and seven keys spread around the world fits the bill.
