Originally drawn for the Enjolras v. Notre Dame poll I came across a while back, which I thought was both fitting and hilarious!

Notre Dame's spire had 2 hidden coffins beneath it. Now, scientists know who was buried there.
The day after the world watched Notre Dame Cathedral burn three years ago, archaeologists were called to survey the damage and assist with the long and painstaking process of restoration. During excavations at the cathedral in early 2022, researchers found two unusual lead sarcophagi dating to centuries ago, but it was anyone's guess who was buried within them.
Now, researchers have announced their findings: the sarcophagi contain the remains of two wealthy men, one ecclesiastical who may have had the "disease of kings," and the other young and noble, but whose remains hinted at a hard life.
Eric Crubézy, professor of biological anthropology at the University of Toulouse III, oversaw the opening of the coffins last month and has studied the bones to learn more about the men's age-at-death and lifestyles. "The first subject is identified via an identification plate on his coffin," Crubézy told Live Science in an email. The brass plate gives his name as Antoine de la Porte, who died at age 83 on Dec. 24, 1710. Read more.

👀👋 I know it's been ages since I've been here, but I'm popping back in to share the new Notre Dame de Paris/Hunchback of Notre Dame Discord Server!
Discussion and content about all adaptations and characters are welcome. Plus, discussion and content about the historical background, Victor Hugo and the restoration of Notre Dame. There's space to show off your fanworks and original creations, and even space to discuss a large variety of non-NDdP/HoND topics.
The Server is only a few days old, but there's already ~20 very active members and we're planning on organizing some group activities & events shortly (ie. creative works, watch parties, etc).
I'm super excited to grow the fandom. Everyone is welcome!
