Sarcophagus Found at Notre Dame!

#2. A 14th Century Sarcophagus was found at Notre Dame! Who is inside? Who found it? What comes next? Is it a mummy?! [SPOILER: Not a mummy]  Find out more in this episode of Paris Gone By! Discover what we know so far, more about the group who did the archeological dig, and a bit about what comes next as they begin restoring the interior of the church. Quick Show Notes: First and foremost, the theory of how the sarcophagus ended up where it did in the layers of history under the floor is my own (somewhat tongue-in-cheek) speculation. Please do not consider it archeological fact. A Few Sources Mentioned In the Episode:INRAPTime Team Official YouTube Channel You can find old BBC episodes on the official Classics YouTube Channel, Amazon Prime and (unofficially) on other YouTube channelsNotre Dame Construction Controversy:  Smithsonian Article in English and  Le Parisien Article in FrenchParts of the rood screen and other medieval and renaissance pieces of Notre Dame at the LouvreCluny Museum (Musée national du Moyen Âge) is re-opening after its own extensive renovation on May 12, 2022Triangle Tower (Tour Triangle), being built in the 15th arrondissementWant to know more?  Check out the full show notes on the PGB website!  Like what you heard and would like to support the podcast further?  Please consider buying me a coffee or exploring other ways to support the cause.
