Archaeologists say they’ve solved the mystery of a lead coffin discovered beneath Notre-Dame.
From @Smithsonianmag: “When excavations at Paris’ Notre-Dame Cathedral unearthed a pair of lead coffins hidden beneath the church’s nave in early 2022, archaeologists immediately recognized the sarcophagi’s significance. Lead, a metal that keeps out moisture and prevents decomposition, has long been the chosen coffin material of the elite.”
