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.

There is one in Italy too. Love these.

death is art, art is death

The Temple Of Nope

" I love what you've done with the place!..."

There's one in Rome as well

Why do I get the urge to release my dog in there ;o)

Disrespectful to the dead… but weirdly fascinating

Lovely design, and great way to recycle by reuse. Bones are beautiful works of nature- just study one sometime, any bone. Note the complexities, the form, the perfect design for its function, they're functional pieces of art.

I've been here, it's fascinating and the train you have to take to get there is adorable 😍

Did they not have any forests nearby? Was wood too costly? Bricks too lame? Concrete to blah? Skulls too plentiful?

Who thought this was a great design idea?

I’ll take your entire stock

Wild place, And you can easily do a day/half day trip to Kutná Hora if you happen to be in Prague

Point?

I don’t think these people or their descendants would be happy knowing they were used as decoration after death. It’s so disrespectful, especially now that human remains/bones can be easily recreated.

This final boss boutta be epic as hell

Take your money every Sunday and steal your bones to decorate! Prob’ly use your skin for bible covers.

Is that the church near Kutna Hora ? Been there ; very strange.

Well... Vatican is build on a mass grave also ...

I can't believe what I'm looking at!! Oh h*** NO!

Interesting.

I'd hate to be the one assigned to dust all of that. . .!

Why?

Who thinks this is a good idea? Some priest goes, "Fresco's been done to death. Why don't we decorate in human bones? They're not doing any good moldering in the ground. Well just give 'em a bit of a polish first. "

Sick.

groovy gothic style

how delightfully christian

I've been here. It's actually pretty cool.
