Susano Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Or... who needs a dungeon when the real world has all of this? Throughout the history of human civilization, different cultures mourn and treat the dead differently. Some, like Tibetan Buddhists, have no use for burials as they dispose the dead by feeding corpses to vultures or by burning them in funeral pyres. Most cultures, however, show their respect by burying the dead, sometimes in complex and ornate tombs, crypts, and catacombs. This article takes a look at ten of the most fascinating final resting places around the world, from the largest prehistoric burial mound in Europe to the the tombs of pharaohs to the most beautiful mausoleum in the world: http://www.neatorama.com/2007/10/01/10-most-fascinating-tombs-in-the-world/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneDaddy Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Re: 10 Most Fascinating Tombs in the World In a dream in 1993, I was drowned in a pool in at the center of Newgrange. I haven't been there yet, and I'm a little afraid of what I will see when I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Re: 10 Most Fascinating Tombs in the World In a dream in 1993' date=' I was drowned in a pool in at the center of Newgrange.

I've been there and there is neither a pool, nor a place for one, being as what it's on top of the highest hill for miles around (not that it's much of a hill, mind you). There is a river about a half mile away, if that helps. But go anyway - it's ubercool. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
