All this talk about being goth, but no one is suggesting we sack Rome. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
ackshually, that’s not “goth” that’s “visigoth”, which is less wearing black and being strange as fuck and more wearing armor and sacking capitals.
Kids these days don’t even know their gothic sub cultures smh…
I had to look this up and it’s (kinda) true. I thought his heart was removed in preparation for embalming or something but no -
Her husband drowned and his body was found 10 days later. They build a makeshift crematory and burned it on the beach, turning everything to ash except a few pieces of bone and a chunk of… something. Probably not a calcified heart.
People nowadays don’t think a brittle calcium heart shell could have survived cremation and think it was much more likely to be his liver (which was saturated in salt water).
Mary and others at the time thought it was his heart so it doesn’t change the story at all. Just thought others might be interested, too
