Ninth Day

Today we went to the Catacombs. The messages they carved on the stones did not exactly make you want to keep on going. The message at the entrance was: "Halt. Here is the empire of the dead." And, "Impious mortals stand no chance." etc.

The Catacombs are a place where the walls are stacked with, like, 6x6x6 ft. It was started because a graveyard was causing disease, and so the people took all the bones out and made them decorative.

Here are some pictures...

Looking up at the arches as you head down...

A photo of dead people, half rotted

See above...

This says "Stop! Here is the Empire of the Dead!"

Skulls, bones, and bones.

A model of a church or something.

Oh, yeah... More bones!

First the heads, then the legs... Wait, something isn't right here.

Tortured souls, screaming in agony. Really gives you a nice warm and fuzzy feeling inside,  doesn't it?

Caption.

A huge tube-ish thing. Made of bones, of course.

More ceiling photos.
