Patterns of the Dead – Parisian Catacombs
Millions of human bones line the walls of the Paris Catacombs
Under the streets of Paris are miles and miles of tunnels filled with the skeletal remains of over six million human bodies from the time of the French Revolution and centuries before. Good information on this can be found here and here. What I find a bit freaky is that there were people whose job was to do nothing but arrange bones, for years and years, every day.
