The Catacombs: A History
A Very Creepy Workout
A few weeks ago I decided to visit the catacombs of Paris. I had in my head that this would be an amazing experience, that I would learn so much and see a great history. Instead I was creeped out by the amount of skulls and femurs stacked up like Lincoln Logs. That and the questionable water dripping from the ceiling, which I hope wasn't sewer water since it got in my hair. And while very morbid, it was an interesting experience and a great workout. Yep nothing like 100+ stairs to start your day. So here's the history behind the catacombs of Paris.Worlds largest necropolis
Taking up the equivalent space of 1/800 of Paris, millions of people are buried in the catacombs of Paris. All of these remains were originally in cemeteries but they were moved to the underground catacombs in Paris.Neatly Stacked Bones Must have taken some time |
