1. The video and the investigation it covers provides no evidence that the remains found were those of Jeanne d’Arc.

   1. They never do. One of the reasons I never pursued pre-modern history beyond a minor is that the corpus is so mean, and the pressure to publish anything so dire, that historians have long since resorted to just making shit up for attention, grants, or tenure.

      Yes, there’s likely lots of sites out there somewhere that will push back the earliest human use of towns, or agriculture, or metal tools by 10,000 years. No, they didn’t have an advanced techno-industrial civilization.

3. France’s biggest war hero is a 16 year old girl and they abandoned her to be burned at the stake.
   Nice going, France.

   1. *Napoleon Bonaparte and Charlemagne have entered the chat*

5. How do fid the remains of someone who was basically cremated?

   1. It takes a lot of sustained high heat from a furnace to reduce bones to ash. A simple stake burning won’t do it. A full-on house fire won’t do it; ask a firefighter.

6. Did they find the sunglasses and walkman?
