People who pay attention to the Paris Lunatic Asylum are all
A new generation of students studying abroad!
Hey Erebati!
It's midweek again, isn't it a little tired?
Need some "big stuff" to refresh your mind?
Then there is really one here:
You can't imagine that, right?
The remains of Voltaire, the giant of French thought, are spread throughout Paris!!!
what?
Let's not talk about whose remains it is,
Just saying that "the remains are all over Paris" sounds a bit, maddening?
What the hell is going on here?
Let's get started
Everyone should know where Voltaire was buried, right?
The Panthéon, yes, Voltaire is now buried at the entrance to the Pantheon's burial chamber, just opposite rousseau, his mortal enemy.
The Panthéon is the temple where the great French men are buried, and during the French Revolution, on April 4, 1791, with the approval of the decree, the French National Assembly decided to convert the Basilica of Saint-Geneviere into a shrine to French celebrities. On July 11 of the same year, Voltaire, who was regarded as a spiritual leader during the French Revolution, was moved to the Panthéon, a very solemn ceremony.
Voltaire died on May 30, 1778.
So here's the question:
Where was Voltaire's body buried 13 years before he was moved to the Panthéon?
This King of French Thought, Voltaire, was born in Paris, died in Paris, and was finally buried in Paris, so that Voltaire's life seems to be very stable, but in fact it is unusually tortuous...
Voltaire was able to return to Paris at the end of his life, and in 1715 he was exiled to England in 1715 for writing poems satirizing Philip II, Duke of Orléans, then Prince Regent of France.
After Voltaire's death, his friend the Marquis de Villette ordered the embalmers to extract his heart for additional preservation.
(Editor: Nani????? ）
Why?
Because the Marquis de Villette knew voltaire's attachment to Ch teau de Ferney, Voltaire's heart was placed in a room transformed into a temple in Ch teau de Ferney, where Voltaire is said to have lived for nearly twenty years during his lifetime.
Is the story of Voltaire's heart over?
No, not really!
In 1864, Napoleon III decided to transfer voltaire's heart to the site of the Richelieu at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Now Voltaire's heart is placed in the Hall of Honor of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, in a plaster statue made by sculptor Hu Dong Houdon.
Moreover, after Voltaire's death, his brain was also amputated...
(Editor: Mo ??? ）
After more than a century of preservation by Mitouart, the pharmacist in charge of Voltaire's autopsy and embalming work, and his descendants, Voltaire's brain was "sold" to the Comémile française in the early 20th century, where it was housed in a statue of Voltaire made by the sculptor Hu DongHoudon.
Not only that, but Voltaire's feet and teeth were also separated from the rest of the body!
However, their whereabouts remain unknown. A relatively reliable inference is that when Voltaire was secretly buried in the Sellières Monastery, or when he was transferred to the Pantheon, one of his teeth and one foot was stolen.
Therefore, the remains of Voltaire, who were removed to the Panthéon in 1791, are not complete, but Voltaire, who lacks a heart, brain, teeth and feet...
(Voltaire: I thank you, really... ）
Part of Voltaire's body, which was buried in the Pantheon, is said to have been dug up from Voltaire's coffin by fanatical religious elements during the Restoration of the Bourbon Dynasty.
Perhaps it was because, in the days before Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine, he said, "Voltaire and Rousseau destroyed France!" In louis XVI, France refers to the Bourbon dynasty.
What about Rousseau's body?
Now Rousseau is buried in the Pantheon, opposite voltaire, his old enemy.
(Eh you say coincidence?) It's not that the wrongdoers don't get together! ）
However, according to rumors, Rousseau's body may not be there, and in the Pantheon, Rousseau's tomb may be empty.
In the 1860s, several newspapers, including le Figaro, published on 28 February 1864, claimed that if Rousseau's tomb was opened, it would be an empty tomb.
Voltaire's body is all over Paris, and Rousseau's body is missing...
Could it be that this is the legendary tale:
"My body is stored here, but my mind is all over the world!"
