It's not Joan of Arc

Sometime in the 19th century, when the pressure was on to have Joan of Arc recognized as a saint, somebody faked up some relics using material from an Egyptian mummy.

Now they've been found out. CSI does it again! (Well, not exactly.)

For details see the online version of Nature.
