Stone of Destiny - Scotland

Well, Scott Wolter would have made a good Arborist, he has an affinity for, and seems comfortable with, climbing out onto limbs.   

toyomotor, let us not forget that this is also the story that the Scots got wind of Edward's intention towards the stone, so replacing it and hiding the original.

There are tons of Ark theories (Skull Hill (Ron Wyatt)*, a cave/room under Jerusalem now sealed with rocks/concrete (modern Jews)*, Engedi*, Qumran, between Jerusalem & Qumran (imaging)*, Nebo/Pisgah, Jordan church (via Vatican/Vandals/Byzantium), Ethiopia (Cornuke/Hancock)*, Tara, US/America (Mormons), Japan, Bethesda (one of my own), Pyrenes/Pacific (Hatcher-Childress/Lemurian Fellowship), destroyed/heaven (Revelation), Babylon, Sinai, Masada, halfway between Moses & Aaron's burial places (Pseudepigrapha), Galilee (Muslim), Vatican, Egypt (like Indiana Jones), Lemba, Arabia (think i saw awhile ago, might have been Hatcher-Childress)? UK (think i've seen/heard one similar to Tara one)?). There is also an "ark" depicted at Nabratein. The 5 most convincing ones are asterisked.

Though perhaps the "ark" in Ethiopia could possibly be the Table of the Sun mentioned in Herodotus?

Doubtfully, there could possibly be a connection of Tara and "ark" with Sarras and grail? (though Sarras seems to not be Tara but somewhere else.)

Just wondering if could be any connection of stone of Scone with the London Stone?

What is original name of Ark in ancient scripts?

Red Clay: "Last thought, there are some things we are better off not knowing the truth of." That sounds like an American persons view of the CIA.

OR, never ask a question to which you don't know the answer.

Originally posted by toyomotor Posts linking the Ark with The Stone of Destiny and then linking them to Tara, imo are trolling, pure and simple.

The Stone of Destiny, strictly speaking, is the Lia Fail - the coronation stone for the Kings of Ireland. It apparently still stands on the Hill of Tara in Ireland.

The Stone of Scone - the coronation stone for the Kings of Scotland - is a different object, although the Scottish chroniclers would have you believe that the Stone of Scone is the original Lia Fail and was taken to Scotland when it was settled by the ancient Irish. The present stone at Tara is an impostor.

The Ark of the Covenant is not a stone but a box. But it is linked to the Stone of Destiny because Medaeval mythologizers identified the Stone with Jacob's Pillar, set up at Bethel in Israel, which was brought by the prophet Jeremiah along with princess Tephi, to Ireland where it became part of the Irish regalia, before it eventually got taken to Scotland and became the Stone of Scone. As a sacred object to the Hebrew nation it is linked to the Ark, although I do not recall if they were ever meant to have been housed together. British Israelites like to believe Jeremiah brought the Ark to Ireland too, but this is not recorded in the chronicles (although they do mention the Stone).

i don't have strongs concordance to reference due to problems with windows 7/8 and new laptops for last year, but to answer the question since no one else has i think the ark's original name was tebah similar to ethiopian tabot(s) (is that why asked?), and maybe aron. There are a few different words for different arks in hebrew/bible.

Not me, read my post again, it was my opinion and I didn't ask anyone to agree with me or to disagree. End.

Excuse me, toyomotor, isn't citing trolling an attempt to exclude the opinion of others?

Btw, in my opinion, such terms as "trolling" being used in the wrong hands tend to end up actually doing that which is being accused.
