Dig Up Leornardo Da Vinci's Corpse


Italian scientists are asking permission to dig up Da Vinci's bones in hopes to reconstruct his face to discover if the masterpiece Mona Lisa is actually a disguised self portrait. Da Vinci is believed to be resting at Amboise Castle in the Loire Valley, where he died in 1519.

As everyone knows, the identity of Mona Lisa remains a mystery. Some scholars believe that due to Da Vinci's alleged homosexuality and love for puzzles, he painted himself as a woman. French cultural officials already agreed to exhumed Da Vinci's remains.

One of the reasons Mona Lisa is such a masterpiece is its mystery. How about we leave the dead alone and let Da Vinci rest in peace, not in pieces.
