Imagine yourself living in the middle of Paris in the late 1700’s, a growing city with a population of about 700,000 people. At this time the cities cemeteries are located in the center of town and space in them is dwindling fast. By this time people recognize the sanitation problems which arise from living among dead bodies. Therefore the responsibility to provide safe living conditions for the living rests on the government of Paris. Luckily approximately 2000 years prior massive subterranean caves had been built that were not currently being used. The government decided to remove the bodies from the cemeteries and place them in the underground caves. Take a virtual tour of these caves and maybe one day you will be able to take the real life tour of them and see perfectly preserved remains over two hundred years old!!
