Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hello all, Some kooks have been bugging me trying to say that the Koh i Noor diamond in the Tower of London's Crown Jewels is the very same Syamantaka. Here is my reply to such speculative nonsense... The question of Syamantaka is impossible to prove, and one can speculate in any way one feels happy. Personally I have seen the Koh i noor, which you can also see, in the Tower of London, and I was NOT impressed. At 105 carats it looked small compared to it's reputation (less than 2 inches). It was not impressive, compared to the Cullinan diamonds (which are 5 times bigger) it looked tiny. Certainly NOT the great Syamantaka Gem as described in Bhagavatam. It did NOT look like the Sungod. In fact, it was hard to see even standing 5 feet away. So, seeing is believing. With the so-called evidence at hand the claim becomes absurd.
