15 November Brexit Coventrieren as Dominic Raab and Esther McVey among ministers to quit over EU agreement
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46219495
68 years ago in the evening of 14 November 1940 began the raid to Coventry The raid reached its climax around midnight with the final all clear sounding at 06:15 on the morning of 15 November.
Hitler personally chosen the target,after going completely mad the day RAF had bombarded Munich, which had happened one week earlier on 8 November 1940 when he was obliged to cancell his speech on the anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch
The attack, code-named OperationMondscheinsonate (Moonlight Sonata) was the most severe to hit Coventry during the war. It was carried out by 515 German bombers, from Luftflotte 3 and from the pathfinders of Kampfgruppe 100. The first wave of follow-up bombers dropped high explosive bombs, knocking out the utilities (the water supply, electricity network, telephones and gas mains) and cratering the roads, making it difficult for the fire engines to reach fires started by the later waves of bombers. These later waves dropped a combination of high explosive and incendiary bombs. There were two types of incendiary bomb: those made of magnesium and those made of petroleum. The high explosive bombs and the larger air-mines were not only designed to hamper the Coventry fire brigade, they were also intended to damage roofs, making it easier for the incendiary bombs to fall into buildings and ignite them.
More than 1000 people died,, more than 4,300 homes in Coventry were destroyed and around two-thirds of the city's buildings were damaged. The raid was heavily concentrated on the city centre, most of which was destroyed. Coventry Cathedral (dedicated to Saint Michael) and St.Mary's School completely destroyed Two hospitals, two churches and a police station were also damaged
The massacre of Coventry gave the chance to Germans to enrich their language with one more word, the verb 'coventriert' which means to devastate by heavy bombing

Historic link-up of the space shuttle Atlantis with Mir space station
On 16 November 1995 Russian cosmonauts from the spaceflight mission MIR and American astronauts from the space shuttle Atlantis linked-up together in space marking 'the dawning of a new era of cooperation between nations in the realm of outer space, at a time when the United Nations was marking its 50th anniversary.'
The American space shuttle joined the orbital complex Mir to mount a docking module so other spaceflights in the future are able to dock with Mir station.
https://www.upi.com/Archives/1995/11/16/UN-chief-to-speak-with-astronauts/7457816498000/
copying from CNN edition http://edition.cnn.com/US/9511/atlantis/11-15/index.html
Wednesday's docking was considered more potentially dangerous than the first in late June because of a 15-foot docking tunnel jutting out of the shuttle cargo bay. The Russian-built tunnel, designed to make future dockings safer, was attached to Atlantis Tuesday. The tunnel will remain part of Mir after Atlantis leaves on Saturday.
Flying blind
As he inched Atlantis toward the 125-ton station and its sprawling array of antennas and solar panels, Cameron couldn't see the top of the docking tunnel. He relied on radar, lasers and video monitors showing various camera angles. "It can't be done any better than that," NASA's Mission Control told Cameron, a three-time astronaut and former test pilot. "This bird flew beautifully," the shuttle commander replied.
About 50 NASA personnel, including astronauts scheduled to travel to Mir next year, watched the docking on huge TV screens at the Russian Mission Control outside Moscow. Wilbur Trafton from the NASA space station program called the successful docking a proud moment.

3 YEARS AGO Chesscom closed my account on 17 November (just for the history)
making everybody think that I was a cheater... I was surprised and I didn't really know how this happened
They sent me this message by e-mail which nobody could read but only me
"Hello!
I’m aware that you had an issue where you posted a gif that broke our terms of service, however, that was not the reason your account was closed. It was closed for sandbagging and attempted collusion.
http://screencast.com/t/OgCvJtWU
http://screencast.com/t/v9feMlVuE
This certainly breaks our sites terms and conditions as well."
The criminal gif was a beautiful woman dancing wearing a red dress while the wind was lifting her dress and the sandbagging was that my rating was reduced from 1535 to 1499.
I sent them this answer denying their offer to open my account immediately if I accept that I'm the guilty party, but I declined their conditional offer and it needed more than 100 days to manage to reactivate my account, When I joined again my rating was 1150, they had destroyed all my games. This is the letter I sent to them next day
"Staff member says that he closed my account for sandbagging while I don't even know the exact meaning of this word. I never thought that to resign in 5 of my 200 on going games because I had a big deficit in pieces and no hope at all it would be baptised rating manipulation (Do I have to ask for staff’s permission to resign any lost game from now on?)
and he shows to me a private personal message provided by Arag in which as a leader of my team I'm asking that new member from Armenia if he can reduce his rating from 1508 to 1500 because the match was made for 1500 maximum and we needed him and he baptises team spirit, as attempted collusion, Unfortunately, I don't even know what that means either.
and though this had happenned on 7th of November they didn't give me any notice about that!! ….
but they decided to close my account suddenly on 17th November humiliating and disrespecting me between my teammates and my chess friends, destroying my games in the team matches, and the 20 on-going tournaments I have created for chess,com the last 2 months.
Any Staff member could easily have conducted me before closing my account to solve the problem showing me a minimum of respect instead of closing my account all of the sudden after 30 months of creative voluntary offer."
I didn't want to think about chess for a long while after that and only in March or in April of the next year I managed to reactivate my account, thankfully to the love and effort of some exceptional staff members, meanwhile that fresh account member Areg received strange Glory and immediately became admin in many teams, as far as me is concened I resigned from my team 300 Spartans that time, and I lost all my 200 games and I could not continue playing in the tournaments I had created, and though I was a platinum member and I had already paid to gift 4 or 5 memberships to the best of 300 Spartan chess-players, for me I denied to pay any membership to the site again since then
Also on 17 November I broke my marriage some 25 winters ago
and, It's a sad time for Greece too, since in the early morning of November 17 after a series of events , 45 years ago, 40 students killed in the streets of Athens around and in the Polytechnic school after a tank crashed down the main entrance of the University and the Athens Polytechnic Uprising ended in a bloodshed

18 November
I was reading 2 hours ago about a book entitled 'Futility' written 120 years ago by Morgan Robertson with a reference to the concept of "Synchronicity" introduced by Carl Jung in an Eranos lecture at 1951 and I crashed on this Italian newspaper announcement for a 18th November appointment on the 50th anniverasary della scomparsa of Carl Jung organised on the cycle of meetings promoted by the Eranos Foundation
http://www.eranosfoundation.org/history.htm
and since it was a kind of suncronicity in my search, I thought to post it here and later to write something about it
Jung coined the word "synchronicity" to describe "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Synchronicity cannot be attained to by mere intellectual means. It is an autonomous phenomenon that is not invented by the intellect, but rather, experienced. synchronicity is a self produced image spontaneously blossoming from the psyche as a whole that simultaneously reflects and effects what is going on within the very psyche that produced it. It has also been argued that Jungian psychology's theory of synchronicity is equivalent to intellectual intuition
As I described earlier I was reading about the book 'Futility" writen in 1898 by clairvoyant writer Morgan Robertson and I was really amazed. The story features the fictional ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, whichsank fourteen years later. Following the sinking of the Titanic, the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage.
Although the novel was written before the RMS Titanic was even conceptualized, there are some uncanny similarities between both the fictional and real-life versions. Like the Titanic, the fictional ship sank in April in the North Atlantic, and there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. There are also similarities between the size (800 ft (244 m) long for Titan versus 882 ft 9 in (269 m) long for the Titanic), speed (25 knots for Titan, 22.5 knots for Titanic) and life-saving equipment. Similarities between the Titanic and the fictional Titan include:

Synchronicity is a concept, first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl Jung, which holds that events are "meaningful coincidences" if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related
The French writer Émile Deschamps claims in his memoirs that, in 1805, he was treated to some plum pudding by a stranger named Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, the writer encountered plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant and wanted to order some, but the waiter told him that the last dish had already been served to another customer, who turned out to be de Fontgibu. Many years later, in 1832, Deschamps was at a dinner and once again ordered plum pudding. He recalled the earlier incident and told his friends that only de Fontgibu was missing to make the setting complete – and in the same instant, the now-senile de Fontgibu entered the room, having got the wrong address
Synchronicity can also be seen in David Bohm's theory of implicate order. According to Bohm's theory, there are three major realms of existence: the explicate (unfolded) order, the implicate (enfolded) order, and a source or ground beyond both. The flowing movement of the whole can thus be understood as a process of continuous enfolding and unfolding of order or structure. From moment to moment there is a rhythmic pulse between implicate and explicate realities. Therefore, synchronicity would literally take place as the bridge between implicate and explicate orders, whose complementary nature define the undivided totality.

19 November Two more astronauts walk on the moon
The Apollo 12 mission landed on November 19, 1969, on an area of the Ocean of Storms (Latin Oceanus Procellarum) that had been visited earlier by several unmanned missions (Luna 5, Surveyor 3, and Ranger 7). The International Astronomical Union, recognizing this, christened this region Mare Cognitum (Known Sea). The landing site would thereafter be listed as Statio Cognitum on lunar maps. Conrad and Bean did not formally name their landing site, though Conrad nicknamed the intended touchdown area "Pete's Parking Lot".
https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_232.html
Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean climbs down the lunar module Intrepid, joining Pete Conrad on the moon, November 19, 1969. Conrad and Bean spent more than 31 hours on the surface before rejoining crewmate Dick Gordon orbiting overhead in the command module Yankee Clipper.
The second lunar landing was an exercise in precision targeting, which would be needed for future Apollo missions. Most of the descent was automatic, with manual control assumed by Conrad during the final few hundred feet of descent. Unlike Apollo 11, where Neil Armstrong had to use the manual control to direct his lander downrange of the computer's target which was strewn with boulders, Apollo 12 succeeded in landing at its intended target – within walking distance of the Surveyor 3 probe, which had landed on the Moon in April 1967. This was the first – and, to date, only – occasion in which humans have "caught up" to a probe sent to land on another world.
https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/nov-19-1969-apollo-12-lunar-module-intrepid
Conrad actually landed Intrepid 580 feet (177 m) short of "Pete's Parking Lot", because it looked rougher during final approach than anticipated, and was a little under 1,180 feet (360 m) from Surveyor 3, a distance that was chosen to eliminate the possibility of lunar dust (being kicked up by Intrepid's descent engine during landing) from covering Surveyor 3.[10] But the actual touchdown point – approximately 600 feet (183 m) from Surveyor 3 – did cause high velocity sandblasting of the probe. It was later determined that the sandblasting removed more dust than it delivered onto the Surveyor, because the probe was covered by a thin layer that gave it a tan hue as observed by the astronauts, and every portion of the surface exposed to the direct sandblasting was lightened back toward the original white color through the removal of lunar dust.
20 November Happy 20th anniversary to the International Space Station!
https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit. Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, and the last pressurised module was fitted in 2011. The station is expected to operate until at least 2028. Development and assembly of the station continues, with components scheduled for launch in 2018 and 2019. The ISS is the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth.[7][8] The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses,solar arrays, and other components. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuzrockets, and American Space Shuttles.
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/international-space-station-iss-location-nasa-orbit-20-birthday-anniversary-a8641431.html
The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and other fields. The station is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. The ISS maintains an orbit with an altitude of between 330 and 435 km (205 and 270 mi) by means of reboost manoeuvres using the engines of the Zvezda module or visiting spacecraft. It completes 15.54 orbits per day

Salvador Dali's First One Man Show in Paris at Galerie Goemans 1929
In between 1926 and 1929, Dalí made several trips to Paris, where he met with influential painters and intellectuals such as Pablo Picasso, whom he revered. During this time, Dalí painted a number of works that displayed Picasso's influence. He also met Joan Miró, the Spanish painter and sculptor who, along with poet Paul Éluard and painter René Magritte, introduced Dalí to Surrealism. By this time, Dalí was working with styles of Impressionism, Futurism and Cubism. Dalí's paintings became associated with three general themes: 1) man's universe and sensations, 2) sexual symbolism and 3) ideographic imagery.. All of this experimentation led to Dalí's first Surrealistic period in 1929.
These oil paintings were small collages of his dream images. His work employed a meticulous classical technique, influenced by Renaissance artists, that contradicted the "unreal dream" space that he created with strange hallucinatory characters. Even before this period, Dalí was an avid reader of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theories. Dalí's major contribution to the Surrealist movement was what he called the "paranoiac-critical method," a mental exercise of accessing the subconscious to enhance artistic creativity.
Dalí would use the method to create a reality from his dreams and subconscious thoughts, thus mentally changing reality to what he wanted it to be and not necessarily what it was. For Dalí, it became a way of life. In August 1929, Dalí met Elena Dmitrievna Diakonova (sometimes written as Elena Ivanorna Diakonova), a Russian immigrant 10 years his senior. At the time, she was the wife of Surrealist writer Paul Éluard. A strong mental and physical attraction developed between Dalí and Diakonova, and she soon left Éluard for her new lover. After living briefly on rue Vivienne the couple moved into an appartment at 7 rue Becquerel
http://www.montmartre-secret.com/article-montmartre-rue-becquerel-102719477.html
"Gala" was Dalí's muse and inspiration, and would eventually become his wife. She helped balance—or one might say counterbalance—the creative forces in Dalí's life. With his wild expressions and fantasies, he wasn't capable of dealing with the business side of being an artist. Gala took care of his legal and financial matters, and negotiated contracts with dealers and exhibition promoters.

23 November The Dolphin Man
Mayol’s fascination with dolphins started in 1955 when he was working as a commercial diver at an aquarium in Miami, Florida. There he met a female dolphin called Clown and formed a close bond with her. Imitating Clown, he learned how to hold his breath longer and how to behave and integrate himself underwater.
It is the dolphins that became the foundation of Mayol’s life philosophy of "Homo Delphinus". Mayol expounds his theories about man’s relationship with the sea where he explores the questions of whether man really has an aquatic origin. And how man could re-awaken his dormant mental and spiritual faculties and the physiological mechanisms from the depths of his psyche and genetic make-up to develop the potential of his aquatic origins, to become a Homo delphinus.
Jacques Mayol (born 1 April 1927) was a French diving legend and the holder of many world records in free diving. At 49, he was the first free diver to descend to 100 meters (330 ft) on November 23, 1976 Mayol broke the 100m barrier with a no-limits 101m dive off Elba, Italy. Tests showed that during this dive hisheart beat decreased from 60 to 27 beats/min, an aspect of the mammalian diving reflex, a reflex more evident in whales, seals, and dolphins.
The 1988 film The Big Blue, directed by Luc Besson was inspired by his life story

25 November An anonymous buyer snapps in 55sec the logbook of 'Bounty" ship
That week in 1789 favoured the revolutionary spirit, jut one week before the people in France overflood the streets of Paris at the other end of the world, some 1,300 miles (2,100 km) west of Tahiti, near Tonga 22 sailors mutinied in Bounty against their Captain James Bligh
“Just before sun rise the People mutinied, seizing me while I slept in my Cabin.”
A stained notebook with those words brought $91,000 at auction on 24 November 1976 by Christies for it holds Capt. James Bligh's account in his spidery handwriting of the mutiny on the British ship Bounty in 1789 and his 45‐day ordeal at sea in an open boat.
The existence of the leather‐bound pocket notebook was made public only recently. Sold by Christie's for an anonymous descendant of Bligh, it was snapped up in 55 seconds by the London booksellers Maggs Brothers for an anonymous buyer.
Sold with the book were three leaves of British Admiralty foolscap densely covered with unflattering descriptions of Fletcher Christian and the other mutineers who set Captain Bligh and 18 loyal crewmen adrift on a 3,500‐mile journey from the mid‐Pacific to Timor, in what was then called the East Indies.
source: https://www.nytimes.com/1976/11/25/archives/capt-blighs-notebook-auctioned-for-91000.html
The mutineers ordered Bligh, two midshipmen, the surgeon's mate (Ledward), and the ship's clerk into the ship's boat. Several more men voluntarily joined Bligh rather than remain aboard. Bligh and his men sailed the open boat 30 nautical miles (56 km) to Tofua in search of supplies, but were forced to flee after attacks by hostile natives resulted in the death of one of the men.
Bligh then undertook an arduous journey to the Dutch port of Coupang, located over 3,500 nautical miles (6,500 km) from Tofua. Bligh navigated the 23-foot (7 m) open launch on a 47-day voyage equipped with a quadrant and a pocket watch and with no charts or compass. He was chased by cannibals in what is now known as Bligh Water, Fiji, and passed through the Torres Strait along the way, landing in Kupang, Timor He safely landed there having lost no men during the voyage except the one killed on Tofua.
8 years ago another attempt to recreate Captain William Bligh's epic 4,000-mile open boat voyage ended in success with 6 hours difference.
25 November The Mousetrap
The Mousetrap is a murder mystery play by Agatha Christie and it opened in London's West End on 25 November 1952 at the Ambassadors Theatre. It ran at this theatre until Saturday, 23 March 1974 when it immediately transferred to the larger St Martin's Theatre, next door, where it reopened on Monday, 25 March thus keeping its "initial run" status. The London run has now exceeded 26,000 performances. The director of the play for many years has been David Turner.
Mousetrap is the longest running West End show, it has by far the longest initial run of any play in history, The play is known for its twist ending, which the audience are traditionally asked not to reveal after leaving the theatre.
26 November A Day of Golden Treasures
In the early morning hours of November 26, 1983, six armed men broke into Heathrow’s Brink’s-Mat Warehouse expecting to find £3million in cash.
Instead they stumbled across nearly seven thousand gold ingots, worth nearly £28million!
https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/brinks-mat-bullion-heist
The men spent the next two hours loading their battered blue Transit van before making their getaway. The stolen vehicle creaked under the weight. By the time the alarm was raised 15 minutes later, the robbers and the loot had vanished.
Just three out of 15 men involved in planning and executing the robbery were ever convicted – robbers “Mad” Mickey McAvoy and Brian “The Colonel” Robinson and security guard insider Tony Black, Robinson’s brother in law.
https://coolinterestingstuff.com/brinks-mat-warehouse-robbery
Robinson and McAvoy had spent six months planning the crime, but on finding themselves millionaires they aroused suspicions by moving from their council homes to mansions in Kent. McAvoy is reputed to have named two pet rottweilers with the name of the warehouse they robbed!

Howard Carter was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist who became world-famous after discovering the intact tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh, Tutankhamun
On 26 November 1922, Carter made a "tiny breach in the top left hand corner" of the doorway, with Carnarvon, his daughter Lady Evelyn Herbert, and others in attendance, using a chisel that his grandmother had given him for his 17th birthday. He was able to peer in by the light of a candle and see that many of the gold and ebony treasures were still in place. He did not yet know whether it was "a tomb or merely a cache", but he did see a promising sealed doorway between two sentinel statues. Carnarvon asked, "Can you see anything?" Carter replied with the famous words: "Yes, wonderful things!" Carter had, in fact, discovered Tutankhamun's tomb
5,398 items were found in the tomb, including a solid gold coffin, face mask, thrones, archery bows, trumpets, a lotus chalice, food, wine, sandals, and fresh linen underwear. Howard Carter took 10 years to catalog the items. Recent analysis suggests a dagger recovered from the tombhad an iron blade made from ameteorite; study of artifacts of the time including other artifacts from Tutankhamun's tomb could provide valuable insights into metalworking technologies around the Mediterranean at the time.
According to Nicholas Reeves, almost 80% of Tutankhamun's burial equipment originated from the female pharaoh Neferneferuaten's funerary goods including his famous gold mask, middle coffin, canopic coffinettes, several of the gilded shrine panels, the shabti-figures, the boxes and chests, the royal jewelry, etc. In 2015, Reeves published evidence showing that an earlier cartouche on Tutankhamun's famous gold mask read "Ankheperure mery-Neferkheperure" (Ankheperure beloved of Akhenaten); therefore, the mask was originally made for Nefertiti, Akhenaten's chief queen, who used the royal name Ankheperure when she most likely assumed the throne after her husband's death
For many years, rumors of a "curse of the pharaohs" (probably fueled by newspapers seeking sales at the time of the discovery) persisted, emphasizing the early death of some of those who had entered the tomb. The most prominent was George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon who died on 5 April 1923, 5 months after the discovery of the first step leading down to the tomb on 4 November 1922. A study showed that of the 58 people who were present when the tomb andsarcophagus were opened, only eight died within a dozen years. All the others were still alive, including Howard Carter, who died of lymphoma in 1939 at the age of 64 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutankhamun
27 November Osiris exoplanet
Osiris on a lapis lazuli pillar in the middle, flanked by Horus on the left and Isis on the right (22nd dynasty, Louvre, Paris)
On November 27, 2001, astrophysist Sara Seager of the Hubble Space Telescope detected sodium, in the exoplanet Osiris, the first planetary atmosphere outside the Solar System to be measured
Osiris, is an exoplanet in the constellation Pegasus, some 159 light-years from the Solar System. The radius of the planet's orbit is 7 million kilometres, about 0.047 astronomical units, or one eighth the radius of Mercury's orbit. This small radius results in a year that is 3.5 Earth days long and an estimated surface temperature of about 1,000 °C (about 1,800 °F). Its mass is 220 times that of Earth (0.69 Jupiter masses) and its volume is some 2.5 times greater than that of Jupiter. The high mass and volume of HD 209458 b indicate that it is a gas giant.
HD 209458 b represents a number of milestones in extraplanetary research. It was the first of many categories:
28 November First effort to Mars
Mariner 4 (together with Mariner 3 known as Mariner–Mars 1964) was the fourth in a series of spacecraft intended for planetary exploration in a flyby mode. It was designed to conduct closeup scientific observations of Mars and to transmit these observations to Earth.
Launched on November 28, 1964, Mariner 4 performed the first successful flyby of the planet Mars, returning the first close-up pictures of the Martian surface. It captured the first images of another planet ever returned from deep space; their depiction of a cratered, seemingly dead world, largely changed the scientific community's view of life on Mars. Other mission objectives were to perform field and particle measurements in interplanetary space in the vicinity of Mars and to provide experience in and knowledge of the engineering capabilities for interplanetary flights of long duration
https://www.space.com/18787-mariner-4.html
2 days ago NASA landed for the first time on the surface of the red planet the robotic lander InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport)
The lander plunged through the thin Martian atmosphere, heatshield first, and used a parachute to slow down. It fired its retro rockets to slowly descend to the surface of Mars, and land on the smooth plains of Elysium Planitia. InSight's goal is to study the interior of Mars and take the planet's vital signs, its pulse, and temperature. To look deep into Mars, the lander must be at a place where it can stay still and quiet for its entire mission. That's why scientists chose Elysium Planitia as InSight's home.
29 November Steven Gerrard's debut
Born in Whiston, Merseyside, Steven Gerrard started out playing for hometown team Whiston Juniors, where he was noticed by Liverpool scouts. He joined the Liverpool Academy at age nine. On 29 November 1998 in a Premier League match at Anfield, Liverpool was up 2-0 against Blackburn Rovers with 2 goals by Paul Ince and Michael Owen from the first half when Gerrard made his Liverpool first-team debut as a last-minute substitute for Vegard Heggem

30 November Stone of Destiny
On St Andrews Day, 30 November 1996, the Stone of Destiny returned north of the border and amid much pomp and ceremony, was installed in Edinburgh Castle, taking its place alongside those other symbols of national identity, the Honours of Scotland. About 10,000 people lined the Royal Mile to watch the procession of dignitaries and troops escort the stone from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the castle. In a service at St Giles cathedral, the Church of Scotland Moderator, the Right Reverend John MacIndoe, formally accepted the Stone's return, saying it would 'strengthen the proud distinctiveness of the people of Scotland'.
The Stone is displayed alongside the Crown Jewels in the Royal Palace on the east side of Crown Square. The entrance is via the door at the foot of the clock tower
The Stone of Scone (/ˈskuːn/; Scottish Gaelic: An Lia Fàil, Scots: Stane o Scuin)—also known as the Stone of Destiny, and often referred to in England as The Coronation Stone—is an oblong block of red sandstone that was used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland, and later the monarchs of England and those of the United Kingdom. Historically, the artefact was kept at the now-ruined Scone Abbey in Scone, near Perth, Scotland.
Various theories and legends exist about the stone's history prior to its placement in Scone:
Geologists proved that the stone taken by Edward I of England to Westminster is a "lower Old Red Sandstone", which was quarried in the vicinity of Scone
