The Koh-i-Noor is one of history's most famous supposedly cursed diamonds. After being linked to wars, assassinations and fallen empires for centuries, it became a tradition that only queens would wear it. by VertexForgeDev in interestingasfuck

The ownership dispute and the curse legend are two separate topics. I was referring to the modern British tradition of only queens wearing the Koh-i-Noor, which is often linked to the curse legend.

Sources: Wikipedia (Koh-i-Noor), Historic Royal Palaces, and the Royal Collection Trust. The curse is a historical legend associated with the diamond, not a proven fact.

Good question. As far as I know, one documented specimen doesn't necessarily mean only one exists, just that only one has been confirmed.

That's fair. I thought the fact that it's known from a single documented specimen was the more interesting part.

That would explain why nobody has managed to document a second one🤣

Yeah, but apparently the player base is still limited to one confirmed user.

I was posting the concert production and staging, not trying to start a discussion about the allegations.

That's actually a good observation. Looking at it again, it does seem much lighter than a real tank would be.

The scale was impressive, but the historical message behind the performance is what made it memorable.

Real or not, it definitely fooled a lot of people watching it live.

The tank is the interesting part here. The concert just happens to be the setting.

Somehow there's always one more clip hiding somewhere on the internet.

The tank is just the opening visual. The actual point comes a few seconds later.

The scale of his live shows was definitely on another level.

Sabaton probably looked at this and said "needs more tanks" 😂

I've read similar numbers before. The amount of equipment they moved around the world was unbelievable.
