Not only paris has catacombs, amsterdam and other european cities have these :p
Wanted to explore them once but everyone i know where to scared to explore.
The plan now is get these bitches to amsterdam get them as stoned as a canarie and say he look there they have good space cake.
And let the exploring for the artefacts begin.
My masterplan cannot fail.

what are they called specifically? Amsterdam catacombs?

This place is pretty awesome. There used to be one or two good stories about this place that got posted here a lot, but sadly I lost them.

Can't remember the name, but the entrance was at an old drain output (most of the time there is a lock on the gate but with some tools it should be easy to get in) all i remember was that it was a log from an urban explorer, going to look if i can find it.

Wat do you guys think there is at the end of those tunnels if it is +100km long and so different levels, why din't they make more and smaller catacombs?

>zero light, and I mean ZERO light for hundreds of km's in a maze. Anyone have any stories about the paris catacombs ?
Yeah, it would be terrifying because pic related would likely happen.

If you want source of pic just google ''girl lost *filename*''

Any one remember that guy from /b/ who went there, stole a skull (female IIRC) and then literally skullfucked it because some guy demanded it in a roll?

>>17334469
But how did they get to the end and back with only a few torches and properly a shitload of food an drink, think there is more to this.

>>17334499
Maybe more entrances that was later sealed and built over.

While it's sad that people die down there, I can't say I have much sympathy for them.

You really shouldn't be wandering in unmapped subterranean spaces like that unless you're an experienced spelunker, and even then it's pretty dangerous.

>>17334469
exactly, my worst fear would be the realization that I'm completely lost and chances are I'm going to die of starvation all the while having the creep factor of being in total darkness surrounded by millions of spooky skellys

>>17334560
this, there are so called "cataphiles" that frequent the catacombs, whom slowly map out the catacombs by repetitive visits, each time mapping a tiny bit more of the underground maze, with so many turns and corners and rooms, even those cataphiles have only seen a small portion of it all, it leaves you wondering what is down there that hasn't been stumbled upon yet. I'm sure with the proper team you could map the entirety of it , but you would definitely need the resources to do it, a flashlight and your buddy tom won't do the trick lol

>>17334043
Daddy's home from the catacombs and he got a bag of bones of those who couldn't leave the man alone

This one is recent and a little intriguing
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/08/filmnews.france

how would one smuggle back a skull from the catacombs?

Are you kidding? It's almost impossible not to. They fall into your backpack and your pockets, skulls all in your boots when you're trying to walk. In your hair. Skulls...

The real question is, "How do I resist playing the skulls like a xylophone!"

They should start a Kickstarter campaign to get funds to map and document the catacombs. It would make a great documentry too.

Isn't there a hand crank light available where you just crank it up to charge it and you have infinite light source? Then it's just food you need to worry about.

Imagine a reality tv show filmed down there. 10 survivors are taken blindfolded into the tunnels, with nothing but a hand crank light and enough food for 1 month each.

>>17335986
Fascinating!

>>17335986 This
Police found a fully functioning movie cinema in one of the catacombs caverns. It included a fully stocked bar/restaurant and its own receptionist desk with automated CCT cameras.

I wish I knew every corridor down there, would the government of paris allow me to run a self-driving 3D scanner down there? I'm thinking of making it and trying to find a radiowave that reaches through at least 7 catacomb floors to instantly pass the data to be explored digitally.

>>17336143
Damned, that would have been a kick ass hang out while it lasted.

>>17336179
Supposedly (this is only in the article) the have dozens more such spots throughout the catacombs. They being a group of
these >>17335512

I've found(on the internet) an entrance right beneath the park MontSouris https://www.google.nl/maps/place/Parc+MontSouris/@48.8216123,2.3367341,15.83z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x47e671a3c64e8b37:0xdd96fc2f479adb1

There's an old unused railway beneath the park, the entrance will be obvious when you walk past it(a hole in the ground against the wall of the tunnel)

>>17336209
That is definitely excellent information and I thank you for sharing but that just moves my statement's goal posts to,

"Damned it would be kick ass to be in Paris right now!"

But this is still a fascinating read, good thread!

>>17336206
Why wouldn't I? I can be anyone for as far as you know. However, I've been a graphics programmer for the past 10 years and have a passion for technology/circuits. It would be a nice project right?

>>17336242
Kek, what a shit explanation.
>Doesn't know Fourier Analysis
>Knows nothing of cohomology, group theory, or quantum

YES!!!! I'm fascinated by the catacombs if you are at all interested in going where no tv show will take you check out this great channel this dude knows his shit bra https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC8lnipiY6mqcB3v0aBfEGA

>>17336254
Why would he need any of this? He doesn't have to build the scanner from scratch by himself, nor is he trying to model the catacombs purely from abstract algebra. I think you're exaggerating the skills needed for someone to run a 3d scanner.

They're spooky as fuck. I remember a video that scares the shit out of me as a kid, I saw it on Scariest Places On Earth or something. Some guy was lost, and he was just walking around the catacombs, filming stuff. Eventually the realization of his situation set in and he started running. He ended up dropping the camera and you watch his legs disappear into the distance, then the camera just sits on the ground rolling until the tape runs out.

If someone here tells me that video is fake, I'm gonna be miffed.

>>17336270
I seriously doubt someone would be able to create a scanner that "reaches through at least 7 catacomb floors" without having some idea of spectral analysis and electromagnetic waveforms.

>>17336263
Nice, anon.

>>17334483
Oh shit I forgot about that. Anybody got the screencap?

>>17336270
There's almost no skill required to run a 3D scanner, at least a modern one.

Source - I work for a survey company, we have 3D laser scanners to as-build plant sites, leases, bridges and anything else the client wants. They're mounted to drones that fly GPS routes we program beforehand. Buddy's just being a prick.

>>17336299
I do, but /x/ is sfw and being flooded with enough shitposters right now.

>>17336288
He didn't say he'd create the scanner, though, did he? I believe he just alluded to having one.

>>17336263
Thank you, anon! This is /x/ at its best, when people who like the topic have good knowledge and resources they're happy to share!

Come on man, I'm not even trying to make a statement here, I'm just trying to talk with others about our passion for the catacombs.

>>17336270
Thanks

>>17336288
Well science is all trial and error, if it doesn't reach through 7 catacomb floors we will have to find other ways but let's try the most useful thing first right? If you know more about spectral analysis why don't you join in on this project instead? It's quite easy to change a location(of the scanner) and a set of vectors(distances and directions to walls) to a 3D shape.

>>17336314
So where's the problem in thinking of making it? I have at least 40 other projects in mind and a few on paper(which I am also thinking of making)

>>17336314
Whoops, my mistake. Apologies, anon!

>>17336325
All he'd have to do to build one is buy a drone, buy a scanner, mount said scanner to said drone. I'll concede that cresting something that can penetrate seven floors would be far fetched, but stop acting like you need an engineering degree to bolt a 3D scanner on a drone.

>>17336314
Oh what did I just found? is this really a program that turns photos to a 3d shape?
http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/3340000/3340757/autodesk-123d-catch-05-690x535.jpg
oh and what is this? an extensive guide on how to turn photos to a 3D shape? http://wedidstuff.heavyimage.com/index.php/2013/07/12/open-source-photogrammetry-workflow/ it certainly is impossible to do!!!

>>17336336
You clearly have no idea how such a thing would work.
Also, what's this about potential? Look at your "40" ideas you're never going to accomplish.

I'm sorry if I came off as dickish, but that's sort of the site's culture. I enjoy the talk about catacombs but what you said was completely ridiculous.

>>17336370
Hey idiot, I think there's a difference between surface data and volume data. I don't know though. Maybe there's some difference between a radiowave penetrating solid earth and yielding a useful signal that will construct information about a volume and inferring a surface from a set of photographs. But who knows. They sound pretty similar.

>>17336209
It's closed due to the filming of as above so below. They used cement before, to close the entrance. But now they've put up a heavy fence, covering the whole tunnel.

We used to use that one alot, since its a pretty good spot for several rooms. If anyone got any questions about the catacombs, feel free to ask.
Pic related, one of the entrance in Parc Montsouris

>>17336376
I'm working on 3 of those ideas so you're jumping to conclussions. If it doesn't work I'll just have to do it another way right? The easiest way I can think of is simply sending the data through wifi to my phone or laptop(in that case the 3d scanner/drone is the wifi spot and I already worked on that a year ago) I would have to follow the scanner which is less lazy than sitting in a park letting the scanner do the job.

>>17336388
Surface data is probably a model and volume data is probably voxels, by using a marching cubes algorithm you can turn voxels into surface data. There's also a ton of algorithms to change a point-cloud to surface data which is probably the easiest way to show it on a computer, directx and opengl have been optimized for surface data for ages

>>17336263
Do you have anything more like this? I'm halfway through one of the videos and I love it.

>>17336398
Ah that's a shame, I think it would be the smartest idea to look for cataphiles in paris and maybe they will help out. Throwing all this information on the internet isn't the most secure way to treat sensitive data such as entrances that are unknown to the government.

>>17336425
I wish I did , that is the best I've found so far there is nothing else like it on the net to my knowledge if anyone else has found something please share :)

Does anyone ever try to get jobs with whatever aspect of Parisian city maintenance is involved with maintaining the locking down the area?

Coz some of this involves some also scary looking impromptu spelunking, although I suppose that's part of the fun.

I love this kind of stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BX29Mq6wfM

Just found this video which is pretty cool but I was looking for one that I saw posted on here years ago with some people in the Paris catacombs who knew where they were going and they found cool landmarks and showed them in the video. One in particular that I remember was an ornate miniature cathedral (think doll house size) but it was made of stone and really cool looking. Anyone know of the video I'm looking for?

>>17336462
I'm often using french search queries like: "Entree des catacombes" to look for videos about the catacombs like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-UPM4i8uzA

Paris catacombs are 95% mapped iirc

The real unmapped ones are the ones down in odessa

>>17336592
95%? I though there was a large part flooded with water and a lot of closed-off corridors thart limits the explorers from mapping it

So this parc montsouris entrance was an access point for a very large part of the catacombs, the entrance was in the red/orange zone at the bottom

>>17336650
This map doesnt justify it. Seems to just cover a small area. And the large area there area, are the water reservoir which is completly blocked.

>>17334043

Went there a few years ago. Catacombs were cool but super creepy.

They even had a stone altar down there where the monks would perform mass for the dead.

Couldn't help but think the altar was the perfect size to sacrifice people on.

Okay, at most I know this is a map made for the gypsum and limestone mines which were later turned into the catacombs. I had no idea where the water reservoir was.

At supplied image I marked the public catacombes with red and the closed-off parc montsouris entrances in yellow.

Is part of the water reservoir circled in blue?

it could be, these groups apparently have dozens of locations like these

People have partys and raves down in there, pretty bad ass ones at that. Id love to visit and explore with a cataphile

>>17336742
I've read some articles and it seems 4g is using 700Mhz, however as far as my experience goes it doesn't reach through a thick layer of concrete, maybe it will when the 4g spot is closer by than the general 4g network.

I've got another idea, would any cataphile be interested in an cloud-based dynamic map service? I can make an android app which keeps track of your location when gps signal is available and estimates a position using the accelerometer and gyroscope when there's no signal. Users will be able to modify the map when new corridors are found or closed off. I want to add the feature to take a photo and show the catacombs in 3D. To show it in 3D I can track the movement lines and create a 3D model based on those lines. So it would by default be something like a 1 by 2 meters corridor unless cataphiles modify the size to a more accurate one. The photos would then be projected onto the 3D model which renders a nice estimation of what atually is down there. This would be a win-win project as the cataphiles can instantly share map data and we will have the catacombs mapped in 3D space. If someone can forward me to a good catacombs forum(I can barely speak french though) that would be great.
