Lost Tombs of Notre Dame - CAST Virtual Program
A devastating fire nearly destroys an iconic cathedral in the heart of Paris. But then, beneath the damaged floor, archeologists make a startling discovery: human-shaped sarcophagi made of lead, centuries old, and among the bodies, a thousand shattered fragments of a once immense stone sculpture, dating from the Middle Ages. A cloud of questions surrounds these subterranean secrets. Whose bodies are these? And what was the massive sculpture that was destroyed and then hidden, buried inside the most famous cathedral on Earth? After the devastating 2019 fire at Notre Dame, two mysterious sarcophaguses were discovered under the cathedral’s stone floor. Who is buried in them, and what secrets will these coffins reveal? Follow a team of archaeologists and historians as they attempt to solve centuries-old mysteries using the latest scientific investigation techniques. What can forensic analysis of the remains reveal about one of the world’s most famous cathedrals and those who devoted their lives to it? Provided by PBS/NOVA.
