How TF o abandoned catacombs double as tourst spots? Did you know clickbait is seriously frowned upon by YT, they will nuke a channel over it and not blink an eye.

[@brunol-p_g8800]

While it’s a very interesting experience to visit the catacombs, I urge everyone to stick to the safe and charted opened to tourists area. It’s a very small portion of the catacombs, other non opened to visiting areas are frequently used by Parisians for rave parties, movies, etc. Those parts of the catacombs, while non-opened, are well known by locals and while it’s illegal, can be ventured in with someone who knows them well, but never alone. The rest of the tunnels, the vast majority of the catacombs, are uncharted, sometimes forgotten for centuries, and unsafe to visit. A whole lot of people disappear in them every year, even locals with knowledge of the non opened to visit but frequented tunnels die in them, and I urge it, shouldn’t be visited by anyone. If you get lost in it, if you pass out due to lack of oxygen, if your flashlights go dead, If you get blocked by rocks falling, etc. Be advised that nobody is coming for you: there is no signal down there, and even if someone you know alerts the authorities there is a 99% chance they won’t find you, it’s uncharted territory as I said…

"Yo, your dead bodies are all over the place, you really need to organize them better" "Sure, I got you"

Why does the thumbnail for this video show an abandoned early ‘30s Ford pickup truck supposedly in the tunnels? Click bait to find out what it’s doing there? It wasn’t shown or mentioned in the story.

[@seanconnors9912]

Yeah, it's the reason I clicked. I feel swindled

[@kalanisarpi4731]

Same here

Must have been put there by Lewis the 16th.

Thank you for saving me time

[@Reno420alex]

Because this guy is a clickbaiter. Go watch Weird history it's way better

[@tjblack3752]

This was a great video

[@stefanbraem]

I've visited the Catacombes a few years ago. A fantastic experience! 😀

[@garyjones2582]

Wow.. Ryan thank you for another wonderful lesson in History.. Very professional...

[@KutWrite]

Cool to see your face after all the episodes in which I've only heard you.

[@MrDeadstu]

Funny thing is, the Catacombs are probably the only thing I would want to see in Paris.

[@thegrumpydragon7601]

It’s insanely busy That’s one of the things I really wanted to do and it sold out.

[@daringdare5078]

That’s sad.

[@Valakian3590]

So no Louvre for you then, well that's sad..

[@elite6569]

Tunnel videos are my favorite.

[@reesbritton6623]

It’s SO weird, but I’d love to see it!

[@SAM-gy7ep]

Thank You For Sharing ☹

[@andresciahooten9598]

I’ve never been to Paris, but I want to go

[@ITSHISTORY]

I spent a week in France last month, filming the D-Day special with WW2 and I LOVED it! You should absolutely go

[@DaveSCameron]

Beautiful city obviously take the precautions you would in any large conurbation but I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time if you can plan a trip sometime. Best wishes 👍

[@thegrumpydragon7601]

It’s beautiful

[@spddiesel]

Well I've never been to Spain, but I kinda like the music...

[@johnbattista9519]

Go.. I’ve been there many times.. easy to get around without renting a car.. I can honestly say that I’ve been up the Eiffel Tower 23 times.

[@clintcountryman4849]

I really like your videos

[@samochoa6733]

Hey man. Leave the advertisements for the end of the video please. I end up not watching the rest of the video because if it.

[@pyronical]

So I love your channel and have always been impressed with the professional level of editing and research. And my honest opinion is adding the shots of yourself in between detracts from the documentary that you have created. It now feels like KZbin where before it was discovery/natgeo level.

[@KutWrite]

I like the personal touch.

Great video. The catacombs are interesting, but I’m more of a Père Lachaise girl. And not because of Jim Morrison.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Interesting

[@freetolook3727]

Did Paris have a higher than average death rate? I mean that there weren't a whole lot of people back then so that many died? What did other cities do??

[@reesbritton6623]

Some people are going to complain that you didn’t spend the entire 14 minutes talking specifically about the catacombs! Lol

[@MSportsEngineering]

Ryan, I hope I find something one day that I love as much as you love tunnels.

[@danielross1033]

Why do I watch these before bed…

[@Deathtroopers09]

Police Nationale says to keep out of catacombs as it’s not safe

[@willieb6993]

Clearly preservation and reverence for the deceased being at odds, what’s the point? If the best you can do to respect the dead is to randomly stack bones to be efficient regarding space, just cremate or buy a wood chipper!

[@004Black]

This intrigues me. I’m going to EU next year and now want to learn more about the catacombs.

[@wolfmobile3693]

That's a lot of calcium under Paris.

[@cherhorroritz3298]

Paris is a pretty small city tbh, way smaller than most capital cities.

[@mikepopstar]

I went down there, it is sad regarding to th ehumans who lay there but very very special

[@jetsons101]

What a place to hold a Halloween Haunt....

[@roy00100]

this could be my lack of knowledge about USB microphones but to me it seems like you're just using a rode wireless/"beltpack" system with a studio mic without XLR (though it is connected through Micro-USB) connected to it. what is up with this setup and why are you double mic-ing?

[@JaffaGaffa]

Go to evening mass at Sacre Coeur in Monmartre (in french but...) The view coming out of the church at night, all of Paris at youre feet!

[@mariefremlin7536]

So where do the bodies go these days in Paris?

[@ziggyzap1]

As Above, So Below. I have first learned of it from the tv show Scariest Places on Earth. I think there is too much negativity from all of the death in the tunnels, who knows what lies down in the very very deepest sections.

[@K8thebest_Gaming]

Question: for people who don’t watch the whole video can we have a TL:DR

[@charlesclager6808]

Good video but not new subject matter. My question is where are the dead buried today ? Any new cemeteries must be far outside of the city limits.

[@andrewbrindescu6666]

find the book wrote by Eugene Sue Le mistere de Paris. And London too if like to look into. And also there is a book London mysterys.

[@chrisrosenkreuz23]

If they just waited a bit they wouldn't have needed to move the bones on account onf the revolution bringing the bodies up top lol

[@higbeedoug]

Not kilometers?

[@SovietDictator]

In two separate videos you've called French kings "lewis". Louis is prounced "looie" in French, not Lewis.

The overflowing grave yards of London and Paris where some of the first key lessons on why humans should not congregate in cities. SARS and COVID19 are some of the last. The apocalypse is coming and we have no one to blame but ourselves. The writing was in the construction of the walls.

[@SKF358]

Disgusting.

[@Baistegenx]

It isn't Paris or France anymore

[@markusgeimer3099]

Knowing how french doesn't respect the letters it uses; I'm gonna assume "Grave Lot"'s name was Grahhv Low And btw you said Lou-is. Not Loo-ey.. once again, its French...

Helloooo! 👋🏻 cremation…..anyone?? 🔥

[@clintcountryman4849]

Cremation doesn't get rid of bones. They're still leftover and have to be pulverized before being put into an urn
