So Freakin Excited

Seriously? His head?!? John the Baptist's REAL HEAD? And I thought I was excited before, but now! I can't wait to see this.

I was reading posts from last summer and one of them said that the students went to a church where they saw the famous decapitated dome of John the Baptist, his real head; I quote: "the one that was attached to his body."

How in the world did they preserve it? Wikipedia says he died around 36 CE. ssssooooo... what'd they have back then... Ice? Hmmm... I almost can't beleive this. Well, if we really get to see the head, I'll be comparing every detail to this painting by Michelangelo Caravaggio.

Hope you did a good job Mikey.
