Guest rumbo Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 "The Odessa Catacombs are an estimated 2,500 kilometres of labyrinths stretching out under the city and surrounding region of Odessa, Ukraine. The majority of the catacombs are the result of stone mining. Most of the city's 19th century houses were built of limestone mined nearby. Abandoned mines were later used and widened by local smugglers. This created a gigantic labyrinth of underground tunnels beneath Odessa, known as the "catacombs"." In the following picture is the remains of a girl who became lost in the catacombs during a New Years celebration in 2005. Her friends left the catacombs (probably drunk) and forgot she was still there (apparently). Stuck in pitch black darkness, feeling around the catacombs, she eventually died of dehydration. There are few more terrifying ways to die I think. She was not removed from the catacombs until 2007.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Cool stuff, would be terrifying down there I'm sure. Has anyone read Stanley Donwood's book Catacombs of Terror? It's tremendous kitsch noir detective supernatural fun. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/68897-odessa-catacombs/#findComment-1660390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) i don't know the layout of the catacombs (if there are multiple levels with hard to see access holes), but if it's essentially just a maze you can always find your way out by always turning the same direction.

Salvatorin Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Looking at that thread is an uncomfortable mixture of feeling exhilarated by catacombs and feeling bad for the tragedy that befell mariya.

I presume it's the combined total of tunnel lengths.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Interestingly, or perhaps not, I have learned that that technique doesn't work if the goal of the maze is in a circle at the centre as you'd just follow the wall and find yourself back at the edge. You could surely design a maze that would catch out people following this rule? I might investigate Excessively detailed and sort of IDM/interesting page about maze solving algorithms: http://www.astrolog....th/algrithm.htm And yes also if you're talking about an enormous multiple layered maze where you probably came in through a manhole or something I would just sit my ass down and go mouldy ASAP Edited September 23, 2011 by Coalbucket PI Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/68897-odessa-catacombs/#findComment-1660944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
