There's a Strange Stone in the Middle of London and Nobody Knows Why

[@Alex_Plante]

When I was 9 years old I picked up a stone on a beach that looked interesting. 50 years later, it's still sitting on my desk. It's always been on my home desk, wherever I've lived, from the age of 9.

[@NightBazaar]

People in the future will come from around the world to gaze at the stone and marvel at the tales of how and why the stone came to be on the desk. Imagine! You could begin a whole new legend! 😲

The idea that Romans placed the rock there as a reference marker in the very center of the roman settlement is what makes most sense, much more sense that the other hypothesis.

[@Emprivan]

Ya, center marker, could be some sort of corner markers way outside also, but center one would be something more important over time. I could see a group put that stone down and say "this is where we will put the statue" once its finished. Original plan got changed, sculpter died with no aprentis. But even today I'll put a big rock where the lid to the septic is. And use big rocks to mark where a sprinkler stubout is burried, if and when I'm ready to extend the line, I know right where to dig for it. It might just say this land belongs to where this rock comes from. Like a flag on the Moon, could be that simple.

[@tsunamitube3351]

I reckon it once had a sword pulled from it...

[@ZherIuck]

Wasn't it the Romans who are well known to have used Limestone to make their cement and build their roads and buildings with it? To have a piece from home and make it the center were all roads meet. On top of that considering its original size it might have also been their measurement standard. Makes sense to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@stevekirkpatrick1612]

For every villain there exists some person or group who thinks they are a hero. Somewhere there is somebody gaining benefit for every action, regardless of how wicked that event is. Now as for complaining that it could be AI, I hope you keep that same level of skepticism for every AI. For the "people who think they are" professionals, i hope you hold that same skeptical nature for everyone who presents you with their (maybe forged, or maybe genuine) certification. Perhaps you could take on the "mental health advocates" who say it's not only fine, but necessary, to completely cut off family members for "voting the wrong way"? You might already be up to your neck in those arguments, I don't know. But this guy has taken a sponsorship from a company that has apparently been helpful for some and he is holding up his end of the bargain. Aside from complaining about them being scammers, what real evidence of actual harm caused by that company do you have? Is it the perpetuation of the "everybody needs therapy" myth? You might be up to your neck in evidence, but that would be against the individuals who falsely claim accreditation on that platform.

[@stevekirkpatrick1612]

Would you also be against an antique store selling items from an estate sale if some of those items turned out to be fakes? There are almost certainly many genuine therapists who are connected to that service, and you can bet there are plenty of frauds too. They always say "you can switch", would an antique store offer you unlimited free exchanges if the 'genuine pirate shipwreck coin' you bought turned out to be a fake?

Back in the late 70s as a little kid, probably 5 or 6 I found two light grey stones on Porthcawl beach (Wales) while on holiday, one was the exact size and shape of a foot and the other was the shape of a heart....and I still have both. For years the heart shaped one was used as a paper weight on my desk, but now both are propped up in my "Knick Knack" (Stuff I've brought back from travels that I found unusual) cabinet at home with a little description of where and when I found them written on the back in pencil. It's amazing how you attach things to memories, as I can still remember decades later where I found them, what the weather was like, the colour of the bucket and spade I was carrying and the clothes my late father was wearing when we were looking in the rock pools.

I don't think so, it was probably used in some kind of construction at the place and is all that is left of it. Whoever moved it moved it a pretty long bit. The British isles have more weird rocks with a huge cultural value, the stone of Scone comes to mind. So the myth probably started in the dark ages about both those stones. If some Roman wanted limestone from Bath for his house or if it was something from earlier is hard to say, many Neolithic megalith project have stones moved from far away so we can't rule that out. Likely though, it was part of some Roman vanity project that got it's weird reputation during the dark ages.

I’m from the city of Amersfoort, that also has a stone. But we know where it came from. It’s a glacial erratic. A rich man had a bet with his friends that he could convince the inhabitants to bring the rock from if’s original position into the city. The inhabitants pulled the stone into the city in 1661, for free beer and pretzels. Amersfoort has the nickname Boulder-city. People from Amersfoort are called Keientrekkers, boulder-pullers. There is also a link with London. In the seventies there was a Boulder-city festival each year. A new stone from another country was brought into the city. One year it was a stone from London bridge.

A fanciful tale. ... In 122AD the emperor Hadrian visited Britain and appointed a new governor. This governor showed his loyalty and gratitude by erecting a large statue of the emperor in the middle of the road outside the governor's palace. The statue was made of wood with a bronze head and, more importantly, stood on a huge plinth of polite limestone from Portland. Hadrian also decided to order the construction of Hadrian's Wall. When the citizens of London discovered that they would be paying for all this there was a riot. They set fire to the city and threw the statue into the river. The burnt remnants of the Hadrianic Fire are still there and the bronze head was recovered from the Thames in 1934. The plinth stayed where it was. It was the largest single stone in London. It gradually became smaller as people cut pieces off it and its longevity gave it almost mystical status.

[@Richard-f4b4r]

I wasn't sure whether to laugh at this or be fascinated by it. Your storytelling got me intrigued and kept my attention through the whole video. A successful video! Thank you for the entertainment!

[@brandonferrell828]

Why do I still subscribe to yall. Ridiculous

[@rebeccahill5146]

Love your videos! Thank you!

The Philosopher's stone for King Arthur...

[@Gamer3427]

Wouldn't surprise me if the stone was just a rock someone brought with them to use as a building material, ended up not using it, and it just ended up laying around. Then a few hundred or thousand years later people arbitrarily decided it was important cause it looked neat.

Hear me out for a second.... The london stone is made of oolitic limestone whch forms on the sea floor. It was thought to have been placed by the Romans. What if it wasn't placed BY the Romans but instead was placed ON a Roman? In 79AD the Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption. Volcanoes typically also form on the sea floor and then rise up out of the ocean over time. What if this kind of limestone was lifted up as the volcano formed and became part of it? You might say that there is no oolitic limestone anywhere near Pompeii. Well, maybe it used to be there and when the volcano exploded it threw it in all directions which is why none can be found there now. it is estimated that when this volcano blew, it launched debris up to 21 miles into the sky. London is only roughly 1200 miles away from Pompeii. An explosion powerfull enough to launch rocks 21 miles high would most certainly be able to launch rocks 1200 miles away as well because, physics. Maybe the London stone fell out of the sky and landed on some random Roman dude, crushing him and that's where the idea that the Romans placed it came from. What if this guy was the last victim of the eruption that destroyed Pompeii? The Romans used gravestones. Maybe they left the stone there as a grave marker for the guy who died. Maybe nobody knew who he was so that's why nobody ever carved anything onto it. Any way you look at it I'm just a guy who gets stoned and watches youtube videos so what do I know? But even still, I can confirm it's just a rock.

If BETTER HELP is a scam why is it still up and running? Doesn't make any sense...

[@neva_nyx]

They don't take any insurances so you pay out of pocket and they can get away with having you never talk to a doctor. Just assistants and counselors. It's a scam.

[@Nedemai]

If you want to be remembered, tell stories... and that stone has a heck of a story to tell!

[@Ranveer_Singh_sangha03]

Hi, thoughty two here 🙏

[@MickHo-u2b]

Very interesting - will now have to check it out.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

A lump of limestone is definitely more than 5,000 years old.

[@dearthditch]

If it’s existed so long it must be Druid magic! 😂

[@izzzzzz6]

I heard about it a few years ago but I'm 50 now and spent half of my life on the outskirts of London, visiting frequently during my teen years and early 20's.

[@dwchen1]

There is a Stone in the middle of London called London Stone weigh over 15 Stone made out of Limestone.

[@willambernahecooking4036]

I have something similar. A Nestle Pure Life waterbottle that lived under my desk when I moved as a kid, I've moved since, and it still lives with me a decade later.

[@peterwarren1824]

The stone was probably an omphalos though probably not a Greek Omphalos. Other ancient cultures also utilized large rounded stones at the center of villages or important spiritual locations: the word means the navel or center of everything.

[@ThomasPCGuruENGINES]

Wasn't Omphalos a character in Sesame Street?

[@peterwarren1824]

@ThomasPCGuruENGINES Wow, possibly.

[@danieldale7320]

Super Thanks Buddy...

[@kitefan1]

Thanks! When I visited the Tower of London I had no idea about the Ravens. (Huge birds, scarier than roosters, hungry Canadian Geese or wild turkey toms that want you out of their path.) You just have to make sure the hooligans don't lob the Stone at the Ravens. Double calamity.

[@417jumps3]

Interesting story about a friggin boring rock!!! Thanks for sharing! And DON’T STOP WITH THE A.I. Part of the charm of your channel

For the Newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's sad truth. I remember when i just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 i ended up selling it because i have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2024 with $20k and I'm up with $232k in a short period of time

[@BenjaminLucas-w2y]

What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?

[@RAKelBerquist-p7p]

You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.

[@CharlotteAmelia-b4r]

I would really like to know how this actually works. how can I get in contact with her

[@PoshanMind-v7x]

Tracy Britt Cool Consulting... has always been on the top of my list.. She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.

[@SandraEvelyn-e7q]

I recently started trading last year in April, invested 50k in the market, and my portfolio is currently worth slightly over 190k. That's a lot more than I make in a vear from my job.
