While storing blood or body parts in a decorated squash might seem unlikely now, it wouldn't have been for the time. Click to enlarge this image. [Carles Lalueza-Fox]

"Royal Blood May Be Hidden Inside Decorated Gourd.

There is no such thing as royal blood. Only idiots and followers believe there is. We all bleed the same.

Together, the human remains are reminders of the brutal, 10-year-long French Revolution, which saw the collapse of the country's absolute monarchy.

This is very interesting to me. I happen to be reading a book by Marie Antoinette’s lady in waiting, or servant, who was very close to her for many years, and somehow survived the reign of terror. The book was written about 1802.

The blood in the gourd belonged to the King, Louis XVI, who was Marie Antoinette’s husband. He was guillotined 5 months before her.

For anyone who is interested in the translation of the words written on the gourd, I’ve tried to obtain a translation using the internet. If anyone can read French, please feel free to correct me. I speak no French, whatsoever. But some of this is so cryptic! To me it looks as if someone named ‘eagle’ got 500 dollars?
