Mona Lisa: Tomb Raider
Head on over to Past Horizons this morning to read my featured article, "The Skull with the Mona Lisa Smile." (I figured that was a less controversial title than "Mona Lisa: Tomb Raider.") It seems to me that no one's commented on the harebrainedness (?) of the scheme to dig up a bunch of graves and do a facial reconstruction from one of the skulls to "prove" Lisa Gherardini sat for Da Vinci. So, I'm hoping this sparks some discussion.
