It looks a bit like Arthur's seat with an almost lump on the top of the tail.

And in this form, it was used as the eye of the peacock in the Koh-i-Noor.

And it was taken off by Nadia Shah from the Mughals to Herat, where Nadia Shah kept all his winnings from Delhi, enormous crates full of full of diamonds and all the greatest riches that the Mughals themselves have plundered all over India.

Almost no one in this story is happy at any point after they've got the Koh-i-Noor.

And Nadia Shah was eventually hacked to death by all his cousins and brothers and family after he went a bit mad in the aftermath of catching the Koh-i-Noor.

So, Nadi Shah gets hacked apart.

His harem promised this diamond to his bodyguard if they will keep them alive during the night of chaos and bloodshed.

And the bodyguard, one of whom is called Ahmad Shah Durrani, then run off with it.

And eventually, Amishad Duran, who becomes the first king of Afghanistan, basically uses the Koh-i-Noor as collateral to found the modern state of Afghanistan.

It is his central investment with which he then goes to war.

And he leads a life of plunder and mayhem.

But he does not die happy either because his face gets eaten up by a kind of dripping malignant tumor.

And people describe him coating half his face like Robocop in metal.

But the separation continues below the metal and bits of maggots drop out even as they eat up his face.

It was a horrible, horrible story.

So later he...

eventually dies as well.

He might have given them maggots and gnawing away at him for years.

Uh, and, um, it passes down through his son and grandson.

Uh, uh, his brother has it first and is blinded.
