An ornately displayed tooth at the Art Institute of Chicago was thought to have belonged to Saint John the Baptist.
But that’s not the case. Researchers at Oxford University concluded that the tooth in question is from a different time and could not belong to the prophet.
Chicago Sun Times reporter Robert Herguth did some digging on this revelation and shared his findings with WBEZ host Lisa Labuz.
