There's debate if what survived cremation was actually his heart, but she though it was and that's what matters

  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.
