13. Something random about some random historical person in a random era.

This will be more about the present but hear me out. Nikola Tesla was cremated and his ashes rest in a spherical urn in the Nikola Tesla museum, Belgrade (Serbia). There is a HUGE controversy in Serbia over this, because it's seen as an inappropriate burial for such a huge figure of national pride. But the museum doesn't want to give the urn to the church, so there are periodical protests/fights/controversies over it, particularly near the elections, when there is a need to score political points over Tesla's remains. 26. Forgotten hero we should know about and admire?

Au Louvre-Lens, il y avait une expo fort intéressante : “Champollion - La Voie des Hiéroglyphes”, sur l’homme, son époque, l’image de l’Egypte en Europe avant l’Egyptologie....
