Re: Alcmene and the vault

Firstly, yay for the dog burial information, thank you, [personal profile] felis! Secondly, while I don't mind someone taking one of Alcmene II's bones as a souvenir as much as I mind people doing the same to Katte's skeleton, I have to day, 19th century tourists really have no shame in that regard, do they?

Anyway, if the bones were there in 1860 but calcified, I'm assuming they were entirely gone by 1991.

Folichon would like to point out he was the one and only Folichon in Wilhelmine's life, and she never used the name again. She also built him a tomb of his own, to wit:

But he would have been happy to share it with Biche!
