Kinda love this

They don't pose much of a threat to humans and usually flees when alarmed. Not particularly dangerous to humans.

Ram! My man.

Nice drawing. The Jungian "shadow" archaetype.

Did it work?

Because I wanted to know what happened, I looked up her name and apparently the police arrived and arrested the man and nobody was hurt

I mean if they managed to do that and put in all the hard work to steal it, they probably earned it. That's low key impressive. 😆

Not so much creepy as apposite.

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths children have gone to throughout history to avoid eating their brussels sprouts!

They also display 'burrowing response' where they crawl into confined spaces - looking like someone has concealed a body..

Nope

I visited it. It's much larger than what's on this picture. It has 4 large pyramids of skulls and different arrangements, like a huge chandelier and coat of arms made of bones. Apparently many died of an epidemic and then the Napoleonic wars? Not sure if it was translated well to me, but they said it was organized that way, pyramids and all, by a blind monk. Having studied osteology and paleopathology, I found it fascinating tbh.

Why just hang from the chandelier when you can become a part of it?

Um...why? I'm Roman Catholic but this seems like desecration to me.

"Hi, mom! Look at me! I'm over here! A little to the left. No, THERE!"

It's a FABULOUS place.

I wish you could just casually donate your body to build a bookcase or a chandelier

I've been there, it's really cool

many European cities have catacombs of the dead and "monuments" built with them... probably all the plagues we've had 😆

These ossuaries aren't all that rare. People wanted their remains to be forever in the presence of the Catholic mass.

They should totally play in agadda da vida on the organ in this church. It would be apropo

I wish I could visit.

Wonder if it’s haunted?

We have one in Poland too

There's one in Rome as well, La Chiesa de la Cappucini.

If this is their normal decor, how far do they go on Halloween?

Imagine the fun sorting everyone out on the day of resurrection ...

That's metal.

Well, what else to do if you run out of cementary space?

Looks evil

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

AKA the Ninth House (if you know you know)

I mean I'm lowkey loving it but like maybe lets just go to store or make some fake ones, you know? The vibe is there, but the vision could have been thought through a bit better

That is the most morbid thing I have ever seen!

Artistic, really....

In the town Czermna in Poland there is a whole chapel built with skulls, same story - plague. Check out the place, it's worth it kaplicaCze...a8a006.jpg

I’ve been there. It’s fascinating how they fit bones together so tightly.

saw a place like this in rome

Honey did another skull fall from the ceiling?

"Had a good day, dear?" "Oh, fair to middlin'. Started a tibia chandelier and made some lovely skull-and-radius garlands for the apse. Would've made more, but a rush job came through for a set of gold-plated bone spurs. We had to drop everything in order to get them finished and on the way to Florida before the last mail pick up."

I find this absolutely beautiful and would love for my bones to be part of this, or maybe something more my religion and not catholic.

there is a chapel of bones in Rome. but they are just stacked..

I want to go see that.

But because it's an old cult we let them get away with it.

That's METAL🤘

Oooohh! I want to go!

been there. there was a no-photo rule and the people next to me where taking selfies with the REAL human skeletons...

Who of them wanted to end like that?

ooh love it
