TIL that the purported skull of Mary Magdalene is enshrined in a gold reliquary in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, in France, and that reliquary is _the_ most Warhammer-40k-looking real thing I have ever seen in my life, bar none.

Also a little reminiscent of the Borg queen, no? Call me weird, but I'd love to see a DNA analysis, facial reconstruction, and radio carbon dating of that skull.

@Julia @mhoye I may be weird too, but all those tests look like something that would tell really interesting things about the medieval relic trade!
