“The “Shah” is a diamond that weighs around 89 karats, “with three inscriptions in the ancient Persian language engraved upon it, which indicate that it was discovered in 1591 – most likely, in the mines of Golkonda in India.”  The inscriptions refer to Nezam Shah Borhan II, 1591; Jahan Shah, son of Jahangir Shah, 1641, and Fath Ali Shah, 1829” 

 

OK. I’m getting Confused now.

We have – The Orlov, the Shah, the Koh-i-Noor and something called The Great Mogul.

 

“The Diamond of the Great Moguls, initially weighing around 787 karats. Found in India. Its modern whereabouts are unknown ([1118:1]). In general, there is a fair amount of confusion in the application of the name “Great Mogul” to diamonds, which we shall soon witness. Nowadays the name is occasionally applied to different stones than in the epoch of the XVII-XVIII century.”

 

The Orlov is here…

 

 

Cough. Cough. In the Romanov Sceptre.

 

 

And we all know where the Koh-i-Noor is!

What about the 787 carat Great Mogul?

 

“The gigantic diamond of the Great Moguls (or Great Mongols), weighing 787 karats, no less, must have been cut into several fragments so that it could be shared between several victors and then claimed “lost”. The fact that all these diamonds had recently belonged to the Russian Czars, or Khans of the Horde, was obviously concealed. As a result, the pre-XVII century history of these diamonds in its Romanovian version became convoluted and mysterious.”

 

I wonder!!!

P.S. It gets even worse…when you learn about the DATES. Sigh.
