CarpeDiem Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I am a true believer that things happen for a reason but the most recent thing to happen has me aghast! As I child I grew up in South Africa. TV stations in the late 70's and the 80's was somewhat limited (the good old days). As a young boy there was a program on tv called CHiPs. I loved it and had to watch every single episode I could. Two days ago I was scrolling through tv listings on my tv here in the UK and on 'forces' tv (a station I never knew existed until then) there was my favourite tv program CHiPs! It was starting in around 5 minutes just after the 'forces' news. I selected the forces channel to watch my childhood favourite program CHiPs. The 'forces' news had a few minutes to go. I am not one at all for watching the news PERIOD! I have not seen a MSM news broadcast in years. However, I was drawn to watch 'forces' news that had a report on the Tower of London and it's 6 Ravens. I found myself deeply interested in the report and what was being said. It was totally unlike me to take notice of anything on a MSM news programme. This morning I am catching up on a few things on-line and I read about a Raven that has gone missing presumed dead. With one missing presumed dead it brings the number of Ravens at the Tower below 6 which legend has it that at least six ravens must be kept at the Tower of London or the kingdom will fall. WOW!

MissHistoria Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'vejustaene the news headlines sensationalising this in the las 24 hours. Historic Royal Palaces say "It is said that the kingdom and the Tower of London will fall if the six resident ravens ever leave the fortress. There are seven ravens at the Tower today — the required six, plus one spare!" However during my time as a tour guide visiting, I always interpreted it as no birds will remain and wikipedia backs this up "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it."

HistoryIsComplex Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Ravens represent death. 6 is an occult number. Why would '6 ravens' represent the crown of all things? Very medieval/occult if that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
