What happened to the stone table?

Answer 1

The Pevensie children first encounter Aslan in this place in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Aslan's camp is here when the children first arrive there, but is soon moved to another location due to an event that happens the same night. That night, Aslan is seen wandering out of the campsite by Lucy and Susan, who follow him. Aslan knows that they are following him and asks them why. He agrees to let them stay with him and they walk together up the hill to the Stone Table. There, Aslan tells the children to stay and to keep quiet. Aslan then goes up the hill to the Table. There, hundreds of evil creatures await him, including the White Witch. Aslan is soon bound with ropes on the table and killed. Afterwards, the army of creatures file out and the two sisters walk up to his body, kiss him, and mourn his death. They try to untie him, but are unable to. Soon, mice come along and gnaw through the ropes. When morning comes, the two decide to leave the place. As they leave, a huge earthquake happens and they turn back to see the Stone Table cracked. Stunned, they walk up to the table. As the sun rises, Aslan appears in a triumphant sight. They are amazed and ask how he came back to life. He explains about the Deep Magic From the Dawn of Time, and the yet Deeper Magic From Before the Dawn of Time. They then leave the place with a bound and a mighty roar.

Answer 2

The stone table was ultimately destroyed by Aslan during the Battle of Beruna in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." This act was symbolic of the defeat of the White Witch's reign and the restoration of peace in Narnia.

Answer 3

Upon Aslan being returned to life, the stone table cracks in two. This shows that Aslan's obedient sacrifice has enabled death to start working backwards, and it can no longer have any hold on him. Aslan's sacrifice is the one needed to save all of Narnia, and the stone table will never be required again.
