Bones contain a lot of more information than one would think. Dr. Philippe Charlier, a modern anthropologist who conducts autopsies on the \u201crich and powerful who made French history\u201d, is able to forensically look at bones to uncover characteristics at the time of death, including cause of death. In 2010, Dr. Charlier identified Henri IV\u2019s partly preserved severed head. Henri IV was assassinated in 1610 and his head was stolen and kept as a souvenir. Dr. Charlier was even able to extract samples of Henri\u2019s cervical muscles. Each and every skeleton in the catacombs has a story of its own just as Henri IV\u2019s skull did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-476\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/summerinparis\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_3171-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"307\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"After Libert\u00e9 and \u00c9galit\u00e9, It\u2019s Autopsie\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/svc\/oembed\/html\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2012%2F07%2F07%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Fphilippe-charlier-frances-forensic-sleuth.html#?secret=rBEyMNiYlt\" data-secret=\"rBEyMNiYlt\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a picture I took of only a couple of the millions of skulls in the Catacombs.
