Relics believed to have belonged to Joan of Arc, found to be fake

edit

Scientists who studied relics that were thought to have belonged to the saint Joan of Arc and were said to have been found at a pharmacy in Paris, France, have turned out to be forgeries. Tests show that the items are actually the remains of a mummy from Egypt.

The relics were originally authenticated by the Roman Catholic Church and are now in a museum in Chinon, France.
