In 1739, the Peacock Throne vanished from Delhi, carried off by Nadir Shah after his sack of the city. But its story didn't end there — and the throne that sits in Tehran's Golestan Palace today may not be the one we think. This episode traces the throne's origins under Shah Jahan, its role as a symbol of Mughal sovereignty, and the myths that grew around it — from the Koh-i-Noor diamond to the famous 'peacock' that may never have existed. We follow its journey after Nadir Shah: how it was broken apart, its gems dispersed, and how a later Qajar ruler assembled a new 'Peacock Throne' that now captivates visitors. Along the way, we untangle legend from history, asking what the throne really looked like, who saw it, and why its fate matters for how we remember the Mughal Empire. Lucas and Luna also reflect on what it means when an empire's most precious object is carried away — and how memory itself becomes a kind of treasure. #PeacockThrone #NadirShah #Koh-i-Noor #MughalEmpire #ShahJahan #SackOfDelhi #PersianHistory #QajarDynasty #GolestanPalace #Delhi1739 #MughalTreasure #HistoryOfJewels #SovereigntySymbols #India #Iran #SouthAsia #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
