@todayilearned Relevant quote:

> While dining out one evening at Lord Harcourt's residence at Nuneham in 1848 he was shown a silver locket containing an object resembling pumice stone. He popped the object in his mouth, perhaps to try and find out what mineral it was, and swallowed it. It was in fact part of the mummified heart of Louis XIV of France which had been taken from the royal tomb by a member of the Harcourt family.

 

@todayilearned Today I learned that the Archbishop of York had a piece of Louis XIV's mummified heart in a locket. In 1848 he showed it to the Dean of Westminster, who ate it. https://www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-commemorations/commemorations/william-buckland

@writingprompts Okay, so I did a semi-deep dive into this, and it seems like this is not a Chick Tract (different art style anyway), but from something called the "Truth for Youth Bible", however not the current one (which can be found here: https://revivalfires.org/ and is - compared to this - incredibly boring) but likely the third edition with entirely different illustrations. (see: https://x.com/abtnatural/status/1222721453373755394?lang=ar )

I am still trying to find a good scan of the whole thing. So far no luck, though.

@TheTechnician27

I'm pretty sure it's based on one.

If your platform doesn’t show all four panels of this quite exquisite and - dare I say - groundbreaking work of art, here is a link you can click to enjoy it in its entirety: https://trouth.eu/@Kathrin/114048021455654717

If you are confused, don’t sweat it. All will be revealed in time.

@todayilearned Today I learned that Wernher von Braun (of Nazi Rocket Scientist infamy) wrote a sci-fi novel about Mars colonisation. In 1971 a South African racist named his son after the book's Martian Leader: Elon
