Bunkers, Bones, And Booze: The Eerie Mysteries Of Odesa's Catacombs

Deep below the Ukrainian port city of Odesa lies one of the largest underground labyrinths in the world. The Odesa catacombs date back to the early 1800s when limestone was mined for the city's grand buildings. Through the years, the vast subterranean maze has served as a Cold War bunker, a World War II refuge for Soviet fighters, and a hideout for smugglers. Today, local explorers are still mapping the vast tunnel system and discovering new insights into the past.

Pray that these catacombs do not become a casualty of the new war.

[@joeylamp_holder2013]

It will be the end of it when the relics are discovered

Luckily the bombs are for the most part not strong enough to penetrate 25ft

[@UndercoverPirate69]

[@red-ist9638]

Beautiful

Clearly there is something down there that those in charge don’t want us to know about. What’s the hold up on the exploration??? Hm.

[@emmettmartin2639]

They want to preserve the history, if you just let people in it would be covered in spray paint in a few days

[@Fanta....]

hop on a plane and explore it yourself, doofus

[@dawvideokanal7369]

this is the reason why they fill it with sand.

[@tescomealdeals4613]

The hold up is that some people don’t want to get lost and die. As a result, when there are thousands of miles of tunnels, it takes a while to map it out.

Been there , worth checking out,

[@Trying2bsome1]

A war against pig lurks there. How much less may we deal with when the war against us has been so brittle?

[@Aal24736]

I hope people know how to get down there to hide from this barrage of violence!!!

Слава Україні! Ukraine is an important part of Europe! Ukraine is in the middle of Europe!

[@lisadunson5244]

Theses are lies. It wasn’t built in the 1800’s it was found much like the ones in Paris and then subsequently used the limestone from this giant structure to build the stone buildings of Kiev. Just like they did in Egypt and using the limestone from the roof of the labyrinth beneath the desert to build all the buildings of Cairo. Just giving a taste of these immensely overbuilt structures that we do not nor ever built things like this in our times.
