Asset Overview

The Crossroad of Death (in French: *Le Carrefour des Morts*) is one of the most impressive places out of the 200 miles of galleries, rooms and chambers. It's made of two curved tunnel travels completely around, forming a rotunda with passages radiating from it in a wheel-spoke fashion (a larger Polycam capture [is here](https://skfb.ly/o66NL)). The area is full of bones and some other galeries are still around, sealed forever. Thousands of bodies from where moved here from different origins: anonymous graves of the Montparnasse cemetery (above), bodies found during road work in Paris, and a cholera epidemic. An estimated 6 million dead bodies lie in the catacombs of Paris. ![](http://gakuran.com/eng/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/paris-catacombs24.jpg) Scanned with the iPhone12 Pro and Scaniverse.
