Remember All the Pictures of the Bones in Cambodia ?

[CaptnKirk]

Interestingly, enough they blamed it on the Khmer Rouge (Cambodian Communists)

But there's a secret 60 feet beneath the ground in France:

Beneath the Streets of Paris, France

Take the self guided virtual tour - over 7 million 'residents', going back over 1,000 years.

"blamed it on" the Khmer Rouge?

You mean just because they did kill millions of people?

Holy moly!

That's not a secret in Paris, it's just been a crowded city for a really long time.

Of course they killed millions, but most of the sensational pictures were from
inside of Cambodian Burial Vaults, with headlines to get your attention.

Do you know anything about Laos and it's Plain of Jars ?
Another acient burial ritual, artifacts left from the past.
It's the country right next to Cambodia (and Viet Nam)

WTF are you talking about?

Those are two entirely different things.

Yes, the Khmer Rouge did kill millions. Yes, mass graves were found.

I've been there! We went on the actual tour. It's this tiny little green building in a park, hard to find, only open on like Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3-5. You get inside and there's a spiral staircase that goes pretty far down, then you walk for like a mile and a half and take another spiral staircase out. Luckily, we were using this great travel guide (by that guy who does those PBS shows) and it had the obscure stuff like this in it.
