Just a side note about the historical anecdote at the bottom of the post, which is related to Notre-Dame de Paris:
> 28 statues that portrayed the biblical Kings of Judah. [...] They didn’t portray French kings
That's wrong. Several texts from the revolution and before still exist that prove that these kings were identified as both Judea kings and France kings. For instance, David was Pépin le bref. On one of the gates of the cathedral, the List of the French kings was engraved, starting with Clovis. That glorification of the monarchy, with parallels to the bible, was common at the time: other French medieval cathedrals show the same analogies.
