Talk:Shrine of the Three Kings

message: I am a little surprised that this article begins with events in the 1100s without explaining where these relics came from, why they are presumed to be the bones of the magi, etc.  Perhaps there is enough material somewhere to create an article on "Relics of the three wise men," but I doubt it, so this seems like a good place to put at least a little more historical context. --Dmz5 22:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More history? 

message: Something must have been done during WWII to protect the shrine from damage. Cologne was very heavily bombed and, according to German Wiki, the cathedral's vaulted ceilings (Deckengewölbe) collapsed. Perhaps it was stored in a vault somewhere? Sca (talk) 15:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It was stored in castle Weißenstein. Book by Niklas Möring, 2011: Möring tells the adventurous story about transportation of Shrine of the Three Kings and altar of the patron saints. In July 1942, the Metropolitan Chapter decided the valuable pieces to store nearby Bamberg (Pommersfelden). Together with Dreikönigsaltar (faces mapped likelife) and 60 paintings from the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, the precious cargo was brought to safety in the basement of the baroque castle "White Stone". (Im Juli 1942 beschloss das Metropolitankapitel, die wertvollen Stücke in die Nähe von Bamberg (Pommersfelden) zu schaffen. Gemeinsam mit dem Altar der Stadtpatrone und 60 Gemälden des Wallraf-Richartz-Museums wurde die wertvolle Fracht im Keller des Barockschlosses Weißenstein in Sicherheit gebracht.) --  Dietmar 11:30, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:   Three gifts of the magi gold frankincense and myrrh  

message: In both "The Heritage Crusade and the Spoils of History", cited here, and in his 'History & Memory' article "Fabricating Heritage", David Lowenthal claims that not only the story of the Magi's relics having been brought from Constantinople to Milan, but even their pillaging *from Milan* and movement to Cologne, were all simply fictions invented by Rainald of Dassel himself, who is normally supposed to have been the one who had them brought to Cologne, where he resided, in the first place, after they were gifted to him by Frederick Barbarossa.  He also claims that neither of the two stories have any source earlier than Rainald, and that all later sources draw merely from him.
All of this he asserts unflinchingly;  And moreover, with essentially no evidence cited.  This is made stranger in that I have been unable to find a single source that makes the same claim, or, as of now, a single source that addresses his making the claim, save for a passing remark regarding it from the website of the 'Center for Inquiry' in America, a small atheist organisation, for the purposes of dismissing the relics, apparently haven found Lowenthal's claim by accident and knowing little on the subject.  
Given that this page cites one of the works where he makes the claim, it seems to be an appropriate place to inquire as to, again, whether this claim can be found anywhere else at all, or if it has even been addressed substantially anywhere at all. Zusty001 (talk) 00:27, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
