I was reading pic related, and I came across this passage

>The so-called chair of St. Peter, in Rome, was believed to have been used in one of the pagan Mysteries, possibly that of Mithras, in whose subterranean grottoes the votaries of the Christian Mysteries met in the early days of their faith. In Anacalypsis, Godfrey Higgins writes that in 1662, while cleaning this sacred chair of Bar-Jonas, the Twelve Labors of Hercules were discovered upon it, and that later the French discovered upon the same chair the Mohammedan confession of faith, written in Arabic.

Is that true? That sounds like a load of crap, and it’d be nice to know it is so I can just drop the book now

While searching for more info, I found the same claim in an earlier book (from 1887) by Charles Spurgeon named The Sword and the Trowel. I can’t find a good picture of these, or any sources that don’t have a reason to lie about such things

If its actual secret teaching then there wouldn't be any 'sources'

While searching for this, I found an article on the seat by the Catholic encyclopedia. It says the chair is decorated with the tasks of Hercules and arabesques. It's possible that a 16th century man with little contact with Arabic mistook the arabesque patterns with calligraphy, as the Islamic confession is often represented with ornate calligraphy

It seems I was wrong.

Apparently there were a few chairs of St. peter build up until now so it could be that one of the modern variants could have this.

Then again this is the first I heard about the islamic confession of faith.

That's on par with the Big PC in the vatican.
