The story

"L'histoire au scalpel" (History under the Scalpel) is a French documentary series, notably broadcast on France 5 and Histoire TV, in which the forensic doctor and anthropologist Philippe Charlier uses modern scientific methods to investigate historical mysteries. By examining the relics and bodies of historical figures such as Napoleon, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, or Saint Louis, he seeks to elucidate the causes of their death, the diseases they suffered from, or to authenticate objects.
