#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.
