Deep Dive
Brittany recounts her visit to the Paris Catacombs, reflecting on the history of the site, from its origins as limestone mines to its current state as a massive ossuary. She details the experience of descending into the depths, encountering stacks of human bones, and learning about the site's history and significance. The sheer number of remains and the artistic arrangements of skulls evoke a profound contemplation of mortality and the fleeting nature of life.
- The Paris Catacombs hold the remains of roughly six million people.
- Originally limestone mines, the catacombs were repurposed to address public health concerns due to overflowing cemeteries in the late 18th century.
- The bones are arranged in intricate patterns and designs.
- A concert featuring a 45-piece orchestra was once held within the catacombs.
