Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1930: Relics of the 3 British Isles

Within a few steps, Ye Tian came to Tommy and the others.

   David and Jason, the Bishop of Kent and the others, as well as Prince William and the British Minister of Culture, all followed, and they all looked at the stone on the ground.

   As Tommy said, this is a dark gray stone, square, not very big, it looks very solid, and the surface is mottled.

   This dark gray stone was originally packed in a wooden box and placed on the ground, and the wooden box outside and the stone inside were covered with moss.

   At this time, the wooden box containing this dark gray stone had been torn apart by Tommy and the others, and the fragments of the wooden box were piled not far away.

   The thick layer of moss attached to the stone was roughly cleaned by Tommy and the others, revealing its original appearance.

   At first glance, this dark gray stone is unpretentious, no different from the stone you often see.

   However, a line of ancient Irish characters carved in front of this dark gray stone gives this stone a very special meaning.

   In fact, if that line of ancient Irish is proved to be true and not a prank by someone in ancient times, then this stone will instantly become a priceless treasure and a sacred object in the British Isles.

   The ancient Irish word means "stone of destiny".

   The first time he stood in front of this dark gray stone, Ye Tian saw the line of ancient Irish at a glance. Although the text was mottled, it was still recognizable.

  Although he doesn't understand this ancient text, he only knows this line of text, and he knows what this line of text means, and what a huge sensation it will cause.

  There is no other reason. The "Stone of Destiny" is so famous. As long as you study European history, it is impossible not to know the Stone of Destiny. Moreover, Ye Tian is also a top antique art appraisal expert.

   In fact, Ye Tian discovered this stone of destiny when he entered this underground palace alone in the morning to explore, and he knew its authenticity well.

   Not only Ye Tian, ​​but other people who rushed here also saw the line of ancient Irish written in front of this dark gray stone.

   Of course, some people here know that line of text and understand its meaning, while others don’t.

   Prince William, as the heir to the British throne, naturally knows this line of ancient Irish. The Stone of Destiny is an indispensable holy artifact when he is crowned the British throne in the future. Can you not be familiar with it?

   The first moment he saw this line of text, he was completely stunned, and he was stunned, staring at the dark gray stone on the ground in amazement, muttering to himself in despair.

   "The Stone of Destiny! It is actually the Stone of Destiny, how could it be here? What happened to the Stone of Destiny in Edinburgh? Is that stone of Destiny fake? How is it possible?"

  The British Minister of Culture, standing next to Prince William, also had a dull look. His eyes were round, staring at the dark gray stone close at hand, and his eyes were about to fly out.

   As for David, Jason, and the Bishop of Kent, they don’t know much about this famous stone, they just know it.

   Seeing the desperate appearance of Prince William and the British Minister of Culture, where can these guys endure, David immediately asked in a low voice curiously:

"Steven, please introduce this stone of destiny. As His Royal Highness said before, the stone of destiny has been stored in Westminster Abbey for more than 700 years, and then it was transported to Edinburgh. .

   That famous stone, as one of the sacred objects necessary for the coronation of successive British monarchs, has never left people’s sight. Why does a ‘stone of destiny’ appear here again? Which one is true? "

   Following David's words, both Prince William and the British Minister of Culture were awakened. They immediately turned their heads to look at Ye Tian with an uneasy look on their faces.

   The rest of the people on the scene are the same. They all turned to look at Ye Tian, ​​and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and doubt.

   Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said loudly:

   "Well, let me introduce you to the Stone of Destiny. In the British Isles, the Stone of Destiny is arguably the most important and famous stone, far surpassing the main diamond on the British crown, the mountain of light!

   The legend about the Stone of Destiny has been circulated on the British Isles for a long time. This legend is derived from the ancient Celtic mythology, but in Ireland and Scotland, the legend of the Stone of Destiny is different.

Let’s talk about the Irish legend of the Stone of Destiny. In Celtic myths and legends, the Stone of Destiny is one of the four most treasures in Ireland. The other three most treasures are the'Lug's Spear', the'Light Sword', and the'Dagda' The pot'

   Legend has it that the Stone of Destiny was brought to Ireland by the Danu Protoss. The Danu Protoss came from the sky and was the last Protoss to rule Ireland. The other three treasures were also brought to Ireland by the Danu Protoss.

   In Irish legend, the Stone of Destiny is believed to have magical powers. When the true king of Ireland steps on it, the stone will return with a roar of joy to confirm the true king’s throne.

   Therefore, all the high kings of Ireland had to stand on this stone to complete the coronation ceremony. The capital of Ireland at that time was in Tara. This stone is also known as Tara’s coronation stone.

  At the same time, this stone can also keep the King of Ireland young, return to his prime to continue to rule Ireland, and continue the lifeline of the Kingdom of Ireland. According to records, it did show miracles in history.

   According to legend, in 1002 AD, when the famous Irish high king, Connor, who was victorious in all battles, was crowned, when he stood on the Stone of Destiny, the Stone of Destiny responded with a roar of joy.

  Other than that, the Stone of Destiny remained silent. According to legend, the Stone of Destiny remained silent because it refused to recognize the Irish throne of the son of Luger, the **** of light, and was slashed by the opponent."

   Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed with excitement and emotion.

   "Wow! This is really a magical stone, no wonder it is called the holy thing of the British Isles"

   "I don't know if the current King of England stands on this stone, will the Stone of Destiny show miracles, respond, and roar with joy?"

   As he said, everyone turned their heads to look at Prince William, and the intention was self-explanatory.

   Looking at Prince William again, his face quickly turned red, obviously a little unconfident.

   Ye Tian also glanced at Prince William, then smiled and continued:

  "Next, I will talk about the legend of the Stone of Destiny in Scotland. In fact, it is in the same line as the legend of the Stone of Destiny in Ireland. It is generally believed that they are the same stone.

  According to legend, in 500 AD, the then High King of Ireland gave the Stone of Destiny to his uncle, the great Fergus. Not long after, Fergus was crowned King of Scotland.

   Since then, the Stone of Destiny has stayed in Scotland and passed on from generation to generation. When it comes to this, everyone may feel that the age is a bit chaotic. There may be other reasons for this, so you don’t need to go into it."

   Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, and no one delved into some contradictions in the age.

   After a short pause, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again.

  "After Fergus, the Stone of Destiny became the coronation stone of the kings of Scotland. In 843, when Kenneth I unified the Kingdom of Scotland, he was crowned on this stone too!

   The Scottish capital at that time was Scone, so this stone was also called Scone Stone. In 1296, after the annexation of Scotland by King Edward I of England, the Stone of Destiny became his trophy.

After    was taken back to London, the Stone of Destiny was placed under the coronation seat of Westminster Abbey and became a part of the throne of St. Edward, for every English king to sit at the coronation ceremony.

  The Stone of Destiny was used most recently. It was in 1953, when the current Queen of England was crowned, she sat on this famous stone of Destiny, put on the crown and became the King of England.

   On Christmas 1950, four Scottish students stole the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey ~www.ltnovel.com~ and sent it back to Scotland, but it didn't take long for it to be chased by the London police from Edinburgh.

   By 1996, on St. Andrew's Day, the Stone of Destiny finally left Westminster Abbey and was able to return to Scotland. With a grand ceremony, people placed it in Edinburgh Castle.

  Although Scone Stone has returned to Scotland, the British government has issued a decree stating that when the King of England will be crowned in the future, Scone Stone must still be transported back to London and placed under the throne of Saint Edward.

   The stone of destiny returned to Scotland is ill-fated. In 2012, it was smashed into twelve pieces with a hammer. In 2014, it was splashed with a lot of red and green paint.

   Let me tell you about some other versions of the legend of the Stone of Destiny. In Irish legend, Tara’s coronation stone is from Scotland, while in Scottish legend, Scone is from Ireland.

   There is another saying that the stone of destiny comes from ancient Egypt, or the stone that Jacob was resting on when he dreamed of the stairs to heaven in the Bible. Each of these claims is full of mythology.

   Because the "Stone of Destiny" carries the history of the Kingdom of Ireland, the Kingdom of Scotland, and the United Kingdom, it has become the most important stone on the British Isles, a legendary relic! "

   The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

   Everyone looked at the dark gray stone placed on the ground, trying to see the authenticity of this stone, and explore the secrets hidden on the stone.
