French Revolution: Human remains discovered on walls of Paris monument

The discovery refutes the accepted historical report, which suggests that the bodies of the famous guillotine, including King Louis XV's lady, Madame du Barry, Olympe de Gouges and Maximieen Robespierre, revolutionary architect of Reign of Terror, were transferred to the national network under the city.

Researchers will now examine the walls of Chapele Expiatoire, a classified monument near the Grand boulevards dedicated to King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, following the discovery of bones in the hollows of the wall.

Aymeric Pengut de Stoutz, the church administrator, turned historical detective after he noticed curious abnormalities in the walls between columns of the lower hat. In order not to damage the foundations of the building, French authorities invited an archaeologist who placed a camera through the walls, Kosovo Press broadcasts.

In his report, archaeologist Philip Charlier confirmed Penigette de Stoutz's hypothesis: the lower bascule contains four coffins made from wooden boxes filled with human bones”.

“There is soil mixed with bone fragments,” it added.

The discovery has deepened the mystery of what really happened with the remains of people who were beheaded in guillotine during that period.

Chappelle Expiatorie was built in the early 19th century at the site of the old Madeleine cemetery, a stone thrown by Place de la Révolution Now Place de la Concorde where guillotine was often used.

When Louis XV III became king in 1814, he ordered that his brother Louis XVI's remains and Marie Antoinettes be removed and sent to the Basilica of Saint-Dennis.

His orders were that no land filled with victims (of the Revolution) be moved from the country to build the work”. Despite that, historians believed that the remains of the 500 mainly aristocratic victims of the Revolution, and outside of the revolutionary favouring such as Robespirere, were transferred to another cemetery, then to the Catacombs, where a plaque marks their redependence.

Peniguet de Stoutz has now requested further research at Epiatatire Chapell.

“So far, Expiatorire Chapell served only as a monument to the memory of the royal family, but we have just discovered that it is also a Necropol of the Revolution,” he told the newspaper é Le Parisien.

I cried when forensic pathologist assured me that he had seen human bones (legs and hands) in the photograph,” he added.
