We took a tour of the Aachen Cathedral's treasury which was based around lost treasures from Charlemagne's time. We saw Charlemagne's tomb (which had to be reconstructed cause some guy sucks at math), and some cool relics and relicaries. Our tour guide was a bit of a skeptic about relics and told us how Relic traders back in the day would make great investment bankers today.



Also, the cathedral puts Jesus's diapers, his loincloth at death, Mary's dress, and the cloth that wrapped John the Baptist's head on display every 7 years and this happened to be a year!!
