>almost every city in history aside from recent years had underground tunnel networks with the walls lined with the bones of the deadUhhhhh why?
>>42183194my personal theory is that the paris catacombs and the eiffel tower work together as some sort of nefarious machine to collect energy or something
>>42183194Why not? It's a physical manifestation of what it means to live in a city. It's quite poetic actually.
>>42183194because they needed places to put all the bones. like if we gave EVERYONE a permanent burial plot then the entire world would be a graveyard so instead they move the bodies out once the flesh has been devoured into catacombs
>>42183194because cremation is barbaric and weird.anon where else do you put millions of bodies of bones? should all of europe be one big graveyard? underground has long been the realm of the dead, chthonic. it is a simple solution, put the dead in the underground tunnels, make it pretty because well, better than piles, arguably more respectful to make something of them than just dumping. If elsewhere in the world was as densely populated for as long, and didn’t practice other burials methods like burning, they too would end up in the same predicament. just practical, but is creepy vibes. that said there is a piezoelectric electric property to bones, so there could be benefits to doing this, like charging a city up and hence why they are arranged in such manner. But that would need some more “proof” to outweigh the “wtf do we do with all these bones” part tho two things can be happening at once.
>>42183194the remnants of a dead animal resonate super positive energy and only jews fear the dead because even the dead are still antisemitic HAHAHAHAHA
>>42183325>cremation is barbaric and weirdBones don't burn, anyway.
>>42183359they do at high enough heat, look up a funeral pyre video
>>42183457I don't know what videos you've seen, but bones don't burn at any temperature. They may crack, and if you put them in something like a blast furnace they may melt, but they won't burn. The bones are always left after a cremation, they put them through a grinder afterwards.
Because you're in a human sacrifice powered simulation.
>>42183325>because cremation is barbaric and weird.The dead prefer it. Imagine your putrid decaying corpse being around for years. You don't want to see it but that literally morbid curiosity gets you...how barbaric and weird is that?
>>42183480Complete incineration of bones to brittle, calcified ash typically requires sustained temperatures of 1832 deg F.Yes - that is burning.
ya'll think the catacombs where made with bones and not living bodies>ngmithink of a giant human pyramid
>>42183483I really don’t think they do. I think returning to nature naturally is much more peaceful than a fiery exit to nothingness. sounds just cruel.
>>42183194Bones don't just evaporate.
>>42183194The civilizations are build on the bones of ancestors. How do you expect their spirits to protect you, if you don't let their remains anchor them to the place they should guard?
>>42183194>almost every city in history aside from recentI doubt thisIf you're referring to catacombs, well then they were just a place to bury one's dead. Later on some got so full they had to move some bones to make room for new bodies. Might as well make fancy bone art with them.
>>42183854They aren't their bodies any more.
>>42183325urnfield culture is neatother civs would break up and send them the leftovers through the fire again, some would stir em up during the process to help them along
>>42183851the skull looks like it came from a woman, with not too big of a brain.

>>42183539Even in modern high temperature crematoriums recognizable bones remain. They don't burn, they crack and shatter as the water and carboniferous components inside boil.
>>42185928>Even in modern high temperature crematoriums recognizable bones remain.Because they dont run high enough.Bones will burn at high enough temperature.Everything will burn at high enough temperature.
>>42185944Everything will vaporize at a high enough temperature. Not everything will burn (in air, excluding non-oxygen reactions that are technically 'burning' in the chemical sense but quite frankly are cheating). I don't know offhand what the vaporization temperature of bone is but it's far above what you could practically get in a crematorium. Maybe in a blast furnace.
>>42185966Bone burns. There are temperatures where it turns to ash. No one has said crematoriums get to this temp.
>>42184158no shit, dumbass. it is still just rude, disrespectful to burn it rather than let return to nature, to deny the process. unnatural. meddlesome.
>>42186378There is nothing more "returning to nature" about being a cold worm ridden pile of filth than being atomized by fire.
>>42183874>How do you expect their spirits to protect you,Can you elaborate how they protect? in a spiritual or physical sense or both?
>>42185944>>42185966The bones completely burn and convert to calcium carbonates but they can remain in the shape of the original structure of the bone itself. Then, you can transmute that structure using siliceous solutions into something like pic rel.
>>42183194Looks like autism to me. I guess city slickers keep upsetting them.
>>42186446>but they can remain in the shapeWas never in question.They said bones can't burn.That is wrong.Bones will burn and turn completely to ash at high enough temp.
>>42183357never knew the crypt keeper was anti-semitic. Nice
>>42183483but saints don't decompose.
>>42183194>Uhhhhh why?Because you can’t just pop back to the surface to bury your dead when your society is hiding down there to escape an uninhabitable surface. But you still have to leave the dead somewhere. You can’t bury them; you yourself live underground. You can strip the bodies of their flesh and process the bones, that’s pretty much all you can do. You can make useful things from the bones or use them as building material. You can also honor the dead with doing so, if you choose to see it that way.For the people to whom these bones once belonged, it was likely a culturally celebrated honor to be interred in the vault after their death.

>>42183194I know the Paris catacombs are a thing and arised because the Cemetery of Holy Innocents was overcrowded and conveniently there were already stone quarries under the city where they could put the bones. But I don’t remember anything about all great cities having places like this. Do you have any evidence for this claim or did you make it up?
>>42183325>But that would need some more “proof” to outweigh the “wtf do we do with all these bones” part tho two things can be happening at once.I’m inclined to buy the bone burying part more easily than the energy bone idea but I’m curious how you would even prove something like that
>>42186378>Leviticus 16:5>And from the Israelite community he shall take two he-goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.In the bible sacrifice burning the body was exalting it to god and returning it to the wilderness was excising earthly filth from the community. This is where the scapegoat archetype comes from.You’re right and they’re wrong I just found it interesting.
>>42188538>foucaults pendulumis it worth reading? shill me on it
>>42189089The pendulum is swinging in front of african children
>>42187558>but saints don't decompose.Did someone check?
>>42190138Not decomposing is one of the signs of sainthood in both Catholicism and traditional Buddhism.
>>42192684>Not decomposing is one of the signs of sainthood in both Catholicism and traditional Buddhism.Okay, let's see the evidence, which by nature of it being evidence, should be utterly timeless and available today.
>>42192702The Catholics have a few on display as relics. There's also a monk on display at one of the temples in Japan. Allegedly there used to be a bunch in Tibet but the Chinese had them destroyed when they took over. Miracle or just natural mummies? You decide.
>>42183194>aside from recent yearsthat's where you're mistaken.
>>42192717>You decide.Mummification is possible, and the motive exists if the story is they don't decompose. Calling it not decomposing is questionable too, since changes have clearly happened.
>>42192943Well, call it "anaerobic dessication" then. Clearly not "decomposing" as in "putrefaction". Even if just mummies, it is still eerily impressive to see.
>>42195910I've got a pet theory that something in ascetic lifestyles - maybe the reduced intake, maybe a common thing consumed - causes this to happen. My best idea is the bioaccumulation of some chemical that preserves tissue, or the body's microbiome severely diminished by lack of nutrients.

>>42183194Most cities don't have mortuary catacombs, actually. Most just have normal graveyards. Paris has them because in the 18th century the graveyards (and within it the common pits) were they dumped all the poor people were literally overflowing with corpses so the king of France had the remains all transported underground and made into what it is nows for sanitation reasons.Rome has them for about the same reason, just much older in time, dating from back when Rome was the metropolis of antiquity.>>42183325What's the problem with cremation? Unless you are some fire worshipper I don't see the problem.
>>42196397Not even the cities of Meso-America have Catacombs.Then again, they believed in a literal underworld you could go to if you dug too deep so I understand it.
>>42195910Ok, well, to the original point, do an image search for these "saints" and ask yourself if you would want that as the physical representation of yourself after you're dead, if you were hypothetically able to see it. I'll take cremation.
>>42183325Cremation was also very inefficient back in the day, it wasn't until the 20th century when more modern cremation chambers were invented that were able to burn bone quickly.
>>42183194Memento mori. You have to remember what was going on when those structures were built. Death was everywhere. Constant, ceaseless, merciless. Everywhere you went bodies lined streets. It was to grieve. It was to celebrate those who were now free. It was to clean the corpses and immortalize them. It was to give a method to comprehend the mass death. And it was almost like an armor against death; perhaps if we surround ourselves in death, and make it sacred - maybe it will leave us in peace.
>>42196955>that were able to burn boneHey now dont start that again!Crematoriums dont burn bones, they dont get hot enough.Anyway, those are old tech now. Boiling bleach bath is cheaper and cleaner.
>>42183194you don't get it do you? dark ages? my ass.people were starved so bad they everyone from nearby villages. some travelling merchant, too bad, he is now honey lamb roast.what do you do with bones you can't eat? you make foundations out of them since bones are much better building material than wood.oh no medieval people just didn't write accounts because they were retarded definitely not because the old world order pedo cannibals burned every book just like they burned library of alexandria to hide their crimes when common folk got too wary of them.>haha look at dem stupid ming dynasty chinks eating humans and selling live women and children at local markets to be butchered lmaoas if the same thing didn't happen in europe but the jewish royals of europe were a bit smarter and burned the records afterwards.cannibalism, tunnels, child trafficking, jews, old world, pizzagate, epstein...it all loops back on itself and is connected in ways you couldn't even think of. remember those greentexts about chinese caves and about symbolism in beer breweries? yeah
>>42183194Because the freemasons and the jews killed millions of Catholics in the French revolution and they did these catacombs as a part of their luciferian humiliation ritual, also as a curse to the future inhabitants.
>>42197096Cannibalistic jews will have a feast soon.2nd Israel (Ukraine) is already half demolished to be build again. Europeans are slowly being replaced by niggers. Elites are having dinner parties at islands... All you need to do now is finish the stragglers, kill the publicly available internet, burn every publicly available record, rename every king to shit like Nbunga VIII or O'oga Bagooga XI and you are done. "White" people won't do shit like they've been doing for the past 4 millennias and niggers will "we wuz parisienne kangs and merde" while foreskin stealing jews eat your ancestors, drink 500 year old chardonnay and discuss the ideas presented by superAI how to torture and humiliate you further like they did in 1789 or 1914.
>>42196404I personally prefer to be buried under a giant sycamore. As in, I want none of that BS morgue preserving liquids, put me in a humble casket six feet deep, and plant a sycamore on top of it, on my own property, and in a few decades, my remains are as much inaccesible as they are part of the damn tree. And have it be known I'll curse and haunt the faggot that tries to harm or remove the tree.Why? I want to have a place where I can crash out and rest without doing the impolite thing of "haunting" an abode full of the living. So I guess my idea differs a bit from yours and that other Anon.
>>42196977Narcos have perfected that technique. Altho they use fuel drums as containers, lolz.
