This "stub" surely contains all one could wish to know?--Paularblaster 12:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:You are right! Srinivas G Phani (talk) 06:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Although: for some reason I've always assumed this was Hill of the Stone Table / Aslan's How so many thousand years further on ...

Is there nothing explicit (or implicit)in The Last Battle to indicate this?

:No, there isn't. What would have become of the fort and the table? The Last Battle is only 252 years after Prince Caspian, by the way. -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 22:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

This article needs more non-plot information. If anyone should be inclined to work on that, here are some secondary sources to use which came up in the deletion discussion:

• [https://books.google.de/books?hl=de&lr=&id=bGUeWMeUUqoC&oi=fnd&pg=PA13&dq=%22stone+table%22+narnia&ots=eesy8gWDQ4&sig=6xTTYUMId7qHnx0mj-JNzJnG1CY&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=stone%20table&f=false A Guide Through Narnia]:P. 214 has plot summary and 3 sentences of analysis, linking the Stone Table to paganism (and similar symbols in another of Lewis' books) and the veil in the temple. In additon, p. 159-160 has three paragraphs, linking it to Old Testament Law and how it has to be overcome for salvation in Lewis' Christian world-view ("the Stone Table will crack ... What a marvelously succicnt expression of New Testament message of..."). P. 165: comparison with the communion table, + more plot summary from Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is not yet in the article.
• [https://pillars.taylor.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1133&context=inklings_forever The Good Guys and the Bad Guys - Teachable Moments in the Chronicles of Narnia]: Also relates it to the veil in the temple, but goes beyond A Guide Through Narnia in explaining its symbolism. Compares it to the stone that rolled away from the tomb at the Resurrection of Christ. "On a yet deeper level", like A Guide.., compares it to the Law, but more specifically the Tablets of Stone and what that signifies. And in just one sentence compares it to the cross.
