Description
In late October through early November of 2014, when wife and I went on a vacation to Paris, France. The Paris catacombs are a 200-mile network of old caves, tunnels and quarries - and much of it is filled with the skulls and bones of the dead. The number of dead bodies buried in Paris's cemeteries and beneath its churches was so great that they began breaking through the walls of people's cellars and causing serious health concerns. So the human remains were transferred to the underground quarries in the early 1780s. There are now more than 6 million people underground. Here is an altered image of what we saw during our visit into Paris' Catacombs.
