#kingcharles #coronation #stoneofdestiny
There's just one more day until the King's Coronation and one of the more ancient traditions is the inclusion of the Stone of Scone.
King Charles will be the latest in a long line of monarchs to have been crowned atop the stone.

There's a scottish tradition that monks from arbroath abbey replaced the stone with a fake prior to longshanks stealing it. In any case, the stone should remain in Scotland forever. The fact it is still literally slotted undearneath the throne, as done by longshanks, is a massive disrespect. At least place it beside the crown jewels or something

[@TheTraveller20081]

It's slotted into the coronation throne specifically so the the monarchs of Scotland continue to be seated on it for their coronation. The King of the United Kingdom is the King of Scotland, remember?

The stolen Stone of Scone was recovered from Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950 ! On the Dead Sea Scroll's solar calendar, after the Vernal Equinox starting the next Biblical Year, it was placed on the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey on the 11th April 1951. With a 21st March Vernal Equinox that year, this means that the Stone of Scone was placed on the altar of Arbroath Abby on the last seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: a Holy High Day ! So in the same BIBLICAL year: • 1951 was 3400 years and the 68th Jubilee after the Exodus from Egypt ! (Working with a 4BC birth of Christ) • Before the next Vernal Equinox King George VI died on the 6th of February 1951. • Queen Elizabeth II immediately ascended the throne - although only later coronated. i.e. The Stone of Scone was recovered in the Jubilee 7x7 49th year of 1950, and later placed on the High Altar of Arbroath Abby on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - in the Jubilee 50th year of 1951 ! The Declaration of Scottish Independence drafted at Arbroath Abby and dated the 6th April 1320, was also in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: The vernal equinox was the 20th March that year and the 7th April was the 4th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that year: the day of Christ’s resurrection on the Biblical annual calendar. So 631 years later (6+3+1=10), on the last 7th Day of Unleavened Bread, being a High Day, the Stone of Scone was placed on the High Alter in the ruins of that very same Arbroath Abby, wrapped in the “Saltire” or “Saint Andrews Cross” - the national flag of Scotland. Saint Andrew was the brother of Peter, and also an apostle and disciple of Christ. In the 1320 “Declaration of Arbroath” the Scott’s claimed to be Israelites who migrated from Egypt to Spain to Ireland and then to Scotland ! Legend has it that the Stone of Scone would sometimes groan when a king was crowned on it. It is now apparent that the Stone of Scone had a flaw in it. It had a faint fracture that could be the cause of the noise when some weightier kings were crowned sitting on it: the fracture gradually progressed further and further under the weight and hence the “groans”. When it was removed from beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950, it finally broke into two pieces in the process. The smaller piece was secretly returned to Scotland almost immediately and the larger piece was returned sometime later. Once re-assembled and re-enforced into the semblance of one stone, it was placed on the alter as described above. When it was later back in Westminster Abby, Queen Elisabeth II was coronated on a broken Stone of Scone - what is the significance and implication of that as we see history unfold ???.,.

Its called the Lia Fail. And it actually probably originated in the middle East Phoenician kings, then from red haired Scythians from Iberia?(northern spain??) that migrated to Ireland. It comes from the law of "Razin" which kings where crowned on a stone. The bearer of the sacred stone had the rights to the land. It used to be in Argyll Scotland (ancient kingdom of Dalriada)! way waaaay older than 1000 years. As Ireland was settled bronze age. So the stone could be bronze age BC time onwards. They say that this stone is Perthshire (Scuin) sandstone which means it's not the original one. So Charlie's is likely not the real stone. It looks like a bit of a castle ruin to me 🤣 ....or it could be a replica.....or I could be full of shite 💩🤣 Probably I'm fully shite I'm no expert in these silly things.
