The Paris Catacombs

Stop! This is the empire of the dead
It turns out that convincing the children to write a blog every day is difficult, so instead I will have to conduct an interview.
The Interview
What was your favourite part of the Catacombs?
Jake: The skulls!
Miles: The tunnel!
What did you learn during your trip through the Catacombs?
Miles: There are over one million skeletons stored there.
Jake: The Catacombs has a gift shop. Also there are a bunch of skulls.
Would you recommend this visit to your friends, and why?
Jake: If you like creepy stuff, then yes.
Miles: I would, because it’s good.
Describe the Catacombs to someone who has never heard about it
Miles: The Catacombs are underground and there are skulls in the Catacombs. It is really cold because it is underground. If you want you can get an audio guide that teaches you about the Catacombs. The audio guide was really good and it teaches you stuff. At the end there is a gift shop.
Jake: The Catacombs is this place in Paris that stretches around 3 kilometers, but most of it is blocked off. It is this place where, when people died, they put all the bones and skulls down there. There are about 5 million people down there, and the bones are just stacked on each other. I’m prety sure that King Louis XVI’s skull is down there.
One of these skulls could be Louis XVI
Some more photos of skulls
By the envy of the devil, death entered the world
Yes, that last one is not a photo of skulls, but I’m using it as the working title for my next doom metal album.
