I'm not sure I wanna how old that ladder is

It sounded like stepping on a pile of wooden sticks, I suppose.

doh head slap, now I get it GRAMMAR flushed.

Gotta say I've been through the gallery several times. I do nit see ladder rungs.

When my Guard Unit went to Germany (I stayed home) One of my buddies noticed all the "Go home Ami" graffiti so being the guy he is he would keep asking people "Who is Amy?"
It seemed a lot funnier before I wrote that down.

Petticoat Junction?

I wonder if the monkeys or rats or??? that come after humans are gone will regard this graffiti as we do the Lascaux Cave Paintings?

Having looked at some diagrams I may be wrong. that could be a skull and ilium or shoulder blade or some animal bones fused with the gunk that is there.

One of my new favorite galleries ,Thanks

Hey Binky there used to be an ingredient in every "doctor" in Europes kit called mumia. It was ground Egyptian mummy and many people took it as a medicine. There used to be millions of mummies and they were dug up & ground up for medicine and fertilizer.
that paint thing is the first I heard of it I ofund this http://www.theepochtim...-of-ancient-mummies/
I had also heard that they were burned in boilers but Straight Dope says that the source of that tale was a joke by Mark Twain in Innocents Abroad.

Goodness - imagine HOW they walked here Before there were flashlights with batteries - with just lanterns and wax candles - and there were not even any matches invented yet...........
they used flint stone with a spark....really utterly scary.

Would never ever dare to go down there. Think very brave to do so.
But I love looking at the pictures in awe, dread, fascination, and horror. Just The Idea is horrendous......

This photo gallery is absolutely fascinating! One of my very favorites!

Dig those cartoon skulls as well.

Also remember people were hiding here in WWII.
