Joan of Arc relics a fake, experts say
Relics advertised as being remains of St. Joan of Arc are no such thing and may in fact be parts of an Egyptian mummy, Nature magazine reported. The magazine quoted French researchers who analyzed the relics and found they did not appear to be the burnt remains of anyone from the 15th century, but in fact dated to more than 2,000 years ago. A vanilla smell suggests natural decomposition, not burning, the magazine quotes Philippe Charlier, a forensic scientist, as saying. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431 in Rouen. The so-called relics were discovered in 1867 in a jar in the attic of a Paris pharmacy.
