The Capela Del Ossis in Evora Portugal
Is next to the Church of St Francis
Its interior walls are completely covered with skulls and bones
In the Santa Maria Della Concezione in Rome
There is the Dei Corp Puccini
The walls of the crypt under the church are decorated with skeletal remains
That are ordained in an elaborate fashion
It is a macabre work of art
As you enter the crypt
There is a plaque that reads
What you are now
We once were
What we are now
You shall be
The Hallstatt in Vienna Austria
Is filled with intricately painted skulls with an assortment of esoteric symbols
Inscribed on them is the date of the souls departure from their body
We are told that the church dug up the corpses because the cemetery got too crowded
Then they were cleansed and put in geometrical patterns for fun
And the patterns got so artful that they decided to charge people to see them
The Paris Catacombs are the most famous
And are a lot more extensive than the already amazingly high number of 174 miles that they admit exists
Only a small section is open to the public
The bones are displayed not only as a trophy
But their electrical properties are also utilized
At the Skull Chapel in Warsaw Poland
There are desiccated corpses of children in display cases
Such a great place to spend your Saturday
Who would not want to go and pay to see bones and corpses
Displaying corpses of children is such a natural thing to do under a chapel
Not weird at all
Do you think all these are the result of bored artisans with a penchant for the grim and ghostly
Or could there be something lurking beneath us
Who likes the taste of humans!
