RE: Sedlec Ossuary

in TravelFeed4 years ago

I feel like if they were murdered to decorate the place, it'd be horrendous; I'd almost hope somebody would have burned it down hundreds of years ago.
But if they died of natural causes, and this is what they wanted; then it's actually pretty awesome. Every single one of those bleached, white skulls had a million thoughts run through it until suddenly they didn't.
Now there they sit. Whatever impact they could have had on the world, they either achieved it or didn't. It wouldn't have all been positive.
There'd be rapists, slave owners, murderers. Bad people die too.
They can't do good any more, they can't do bad any more. They were people; now they're stuff.

Sort:  

Oh gosh if people were mudered just to decorate the place that would be terrible!.. although in our world it wouldn't actually be hard to believe. I liked the fact that the people's bones are there cos they wanted them to be. Much better than the catacombs of Paris.. where all the bones are there cos of the plague and there was no room in cemeteries! Still very interesting though. I don't know why I'm drawn to places like this haha. But you raise a good point.. no way of knowing if they were good or bad people, all just a bunch of artfully arranged bones now. Almost kinda hard to believe they belonged to real human beings at one point....
