Beneath the streets of Paris lies a hidden world of bones, darkness, and urban legend. In this chilling episode of Naked History, host Dyllan Gasaway descends into the Paris Catacombs—an eerie labyrinth that holds the remains of over six million people. But this isn’t just a graveyard… it’s a story of Enlightenment engineering, overcrowded cemeteries, underground revolutions, and secret parties beneath a city of light.
From collapsing cemeteries and rebellious quarrymen to lost explorers and underground cinemas, we trace how the Catacombs transformed from a public health solution into a philosophical monument, tourist site, and rogue urban subculture.
Join us for a bone-deep journey through death, memory, art, and the strange beauty that lives six stories underground.
