I visited the catacombs in the 90s and it absolutely changed my life. That sounds strange, I know, but it led me to develop a sense of exploration and appreciation of history. These traits led me become the first in my family to attend university and eventually teach. I always tell anyone interested in understanding the world to do three things: Visit Rome, visit China and read The Story of Civilization by Will and Ethyl Durant.

@MissRiny 4 года назад

Uff this brought me right back there. I have been to 2 school trips to Rome and they included a visit to one of the catacombs each. I think I have been to the one with the church and one other. I remembered I hated it there but I thought it was only being surrounded by death, I hated normal cemeteries at that age as well. But now I remember that the smell was...shocking. I tried to breathe as little as possible to not inhale the dust consisting of the bodies of the ones buried there. I remember other people running their fingers through the dust in the burial plots in the walls. I was horrified.

@GoodVideos4 2 года назад

The persecution of Christians did not stop after Constantine supposedly converted to Christianity. There was then the Council of Nicaea, making Catholicism the official religion. Those who followed other denominations, or variants, of Christianity continued to be persecuted. And, in those days there were about as many denominations, or variants, of Christianity as now.

If they found more catacombs I don't know how I'd feel really. It'd be kinda funny because of how measured, documented and built up Rome is. I'd be impressed because of that and how deep it would have to be. I'd also be somewhat nervous because of the people who would have their testing places disturbed. Anybody know how they'd feel?
