The thought I cannot shake is that none of these places were built by savages. The pit beneath Rome sat a short walk from the Senate that gave the world its laws. The same civilizations that carved beauty into marble also carved these holes into the earth. So let me ask you. Which of the ten did you find the most terrifying, and do you think that capacity for cruelty ever truly left us?
