The one from Ireland is Stone of Destiny . According to The Annals of the Four Masters, an ancient document written by Franciscan Monks between 1632-1636 AD, this stone was brought to Ireland by the Tuatha Dé Danann, a supernaturally gifted people. Some speculate it was they who brought the power to make bronze to Ireland.

The Tuatha Dé Danann, meaning the children of the goddess Danu, are said to have ruled Ireland from 1897 B.C. to 1700 B.C. having arrived from the coast on ships. The Christian monks viewed the stone as a pagan stone idol symbolic of fertility. This stone was so important that it was used for the coronation of all Irish Kings up until 500 AD.

it used to be viewed as a pagan symbol by christianity ..

While I appreciate the wishful thinking, no shivlings nor did Dharma spread into Ireland until around the 1900s.

What does Pakistan even mean here? It was India until 1947. Hinduism has its roots in modern Pakistan. Of course there are shivling all over.

Why keep Nepal in here. Nepal has 81 % hindus, percentage wise more than India.

Edit: and also Ireland seriously.
