Catacombs

Have u known about these catacombs???!!

i came across this word recently,and got some details n they are.........(sshh...listen silently..it was a thrill story where i came to know this catacomb.......)

Catacombs are ancient, human-made underground passageways or subterranean cemeteries.Many are under cities and have served during historic times as a refuge for safety during wars.. there are catacombs around the world..some examples are catacombs of Paris and Rome..
There are thousands of decorations in the centuries old catacombs of rome and paris and other known and unknown catacombs, some of which include inscriptions, paintings and statues among other things such as ornaments which were placed in the graves over the years. Most of these decorations were used to identify, immortalize, and to show respect to the dead.

Catacombs of Paris



There are catacombs around the world above which stand the world's famous cities like London,Vienna,Paris,Rome,etc...
The time is moving so fast letting things behind and mostly we were unaware....
It s the constant thing that "things will change".........

Unresolved Mysteries....


We come across issues lik this in our daily life.Some times, we believe things with our eyes closed. And most of the times,we don think in the same way as others do and really need not to be.We have our own ways and own policies that we believe in.,and which leads to arguments and some times misunderstandings too.We strongly set in our way that we say about some things as "ridiculous,superstitious etc.."And rarely are things which we don know to accept or oppose.One of such mysteries,i came to know recently(many of u wud ve known this before) starts lik this "Does the human soul weigh 21 grams?!!"

To know about this,i started googling.They say, theories were written and scientific tests have been conducted about this topic in the past.They believed for thousands of years that the human soul has physical presence.Is it so?!! Dr. Duncan MacDougall of Haverhill in Massachusetts experimented about this and he got positive results..He conducted his tests in 6 patients.One of his patients,after the moment of his death,lost weight by nearly 21 grams.He concluded as the weight of a human body differs by 21 grams before and after death.

But several issues have been there after this experiment like
"six samples is not enough for this test,
one of the six samples only gave the good results,and
how precise was the test about the moment of death?(even now with sophisticated technology,its difficult to predict)"

So,the discussion goes like this and ends as we surely leave something behind us ,the impact what others ve had on us.....

And if anyone knows more about this topic,u leave your valuable info....

Additionally,there s a movie called "21 grams" by Alejandro ...
