You meant "what are catacombs?"

Catacombs are underground cemeteries. Mostly it contains neatly piled bones and skulls lining the walls. There is one in France where it was rumored that they threw Marie Antoinette's corpse after she was executed.

Catacombs are man-made underground passageways used for religious purposes. Those used as a burial place are also called a catacomb,

Originally associated with the Roman Empire, in modern times catacomb has been used to refer to any subterranean receptacle of the dead, past or present.
