The world’s most controversial diamond.

A bloody, epic trajectory across geographies.

Two intrigued historians.

When celebrated author-historian William Dalrymple and British radio presenter-journalist Anita Anand set out to uncover the violent history and curse of the Kohinoor, they didn’t think there was much left to discover about this iconic gemstone.

Turns out most everything we think we know about it is false. And in this riveting session at Algebra, Dalrymple and Anand – co-authors of Koh-i-noor: the History of the World’s Most Famous Diamond – show why.

Watch the full session above.
