"A long-rumoured secret crypt of Italy's mighty Medici family was discovered by scientists yesterday after a hunt reminiscent of an Indiana Jones movie. The vaulted chamber was found under a stone floor behind the main altar of the Medici chapels in the church of San Lorenzo in Florence. Under the gaze of sculptures by Michelangelo and his pupils, researchers lifted a stone slab to find seven steps leading down to the entrance. According to Italian media reports, the hidden crypt is between 2.1 metres (7ft) and 2.4 metres high and six metres by at least four metres wide. "

I highly recommend this book (see my Amazon review nick is "HolyOlio"), and da Vinci and Machiavelli lived in Florence during the time of the Medici:

As a Conservative I am appalled at this desecration of the final resting places of these great men and women. Not only did they make elaborate plans to bury themselves they gave the world some of it's very greatest art in the process, art which has been shared with the world for hundreds of years.
These are not anonymous paupers or pre-historic remains of archeological significance. These are the well known remains of historic individuals. They should be left to rest in peace as they intended and not disturbed for the amusement of moderns.
To think that our transitory desires over ride the dictates of tradition and decency if a fundametally liberal position. Just as marraige is no longer a sacred bond, the tomb too is apparently only a temporary resting place until some govt. agency decides they want to 'investigate'.
Has all decency fled our world? Why is everyone on this conservative forum so enthusiastic about this desecration?
