  I went to a crypt in Britain as a kid, can’t remember where tf it was, but I still remember it because it was super interesting.

  It’s where I learned about Trepanning and how they did it back in olden times to “let the bad spirits out” and it actually worked because it reduced swelling around the brain by giving the blood a way out.

    We still do that today, just with thr patient under anesthesia so they dont freak out about uaving a hole drilled in their skull.

      Yeah that’s what the dude said when he was showing us around, blew my preteen brain.

      I recently watched an episode of Hamiltons Pharmacopoeia where this lady was talking about her experience living with the guy that made all the LSD for the south of Britain back in the day. She fell in love with a pigeon.

      Anyway this dude was well into trepanning, thought it was a way to increase the brain capacity and expand the mind.

      She ended up trepanning herself on film and releasing the footage, yeah they watched it on the episode.

      She was a bit of an oddball but swears by it.

  capucin- prefix comes from the Latin for “hood,” and by synecdoche means “monks” (who wear hoods)

  Cafe Cappuccino has the same roots.

    This is correct. There’s actually a little plaque that has this explanation on it before you go into the crypt.

    It’s this funny little Latin lesson before you descend into skeleton catacomb are confronted with the living memory that you too are temporary.

  Yeah, that one is definitely a sight to see, if you can stand looking at dead people’s bones.

    if you can stand looking at dead people’s bones

    I much prefer it to looking at alive people’s bones

    I’m fine with them. I went through that whole catacomb and then went through the others.

    They have a lot of bony vaults and tunnels and catacombs in Italy

      At one point, there were probably enough cross fragments going around to build a house with.

        I mean, they were a dull grayish white.

        I don’t know, people seem pretty freaked out when I was carrying them around.

        They’re working on some level
