Some historians suggest it was his liver based on how the organs would have come out of a cremated body - an incomplete cremation, one would assume, since he was burned on a beach.

Did she personally believe it to be his heart?

With something like this, I’d think the meaning/intent behind the symbol matters more.

Kind of like an emperor. Gob™ doesn't have to really anoint you. You just have to believe you have been.

Wow they absolutely butchered this meme format. Why is she responding with her own name?
