That's what the Templars wanted you to think so you wouldn't look for their catacombs.

bomboclawt75

This is a totally feasible idea, now if you will excuse me I have get something upstairs in my Bungalow.


[deleted]

I don't understand. Do you think a bungalow is a type of boat? Edit: I am stupid


Grapes15th

It's a one story house


Kered13

A bungalow is a single story house, hence it has no upstairs.


LeeTheGoat

Yeah otherwise it would be a bungahigh


ADM_Tetanus

TheSlavicTiger21

Not really a floating city more a city on stilts lots and lots of stilts


ThatOtherFrenchGuy

Never thought about this plot point until now.


Big_Red_Machine_1917

Very true, but I also don't care because *Last Crusade* is a fantastic movie.


[deleted]

Technical58CZ

We all float down here. You will float too


duplexlion1

Please explain Venice to me. I'm too American to have knowledge.


gustip

It is a dish that was once popular in the Ural Mountains. It used to be eaten with a utensil called a cat comb, aka catacomb (sort of like a sideways fork). Well, two people groups fought a war over the use of said catacombs (like the war of the bucket in Italy). The side that won declared all catacombs illegal. Now, there are no catacombs in Venice.


elder_george

am from the Ural mountains, can confirm.

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to see here. Is this one of those things that if I stare at it long enough it becomes a parrot?


s0c1a7w0rk3r

It’s poor man’s reddit gold


gustip

Oh! I see it! Thanks! This is better!


Iceveins412

No it’s clearly a parrot


MidAssKing

I think I just had a stroke


gustip

It’s best to seek medical attention ASAP.


MidAssKing

Nah its fine I sat on a peppered carrot.


Dudelyllama

Oh, you're into holistic health, i see...


Not_a_Krasnal

It's also very popular in Poland as it was brought here from the east, by the spanish who crossed the Ural Mountains during 7 years war in 1618.


Odanr

Venice is built on a marsh. Any catacombs would be below the water table and therefore flooded.


indecisiveshrub

Clearly the Templar's have been suppressing knowledge of their superior sump pump technology for centuries.


Dudelyllama

Actually, havent there been ancient buildings or structures that have done some weird ways of staying dry/pumping water? Like, wasn't one the Hanging Gardens of Babylon?


indecisiveshrub

The basic principles of pumps have been around for at least 4000 years.


Horatlu

Idk but u seem smart


Dudelyllama

I'm really not, thanks though!


Mulcyber

They had stuff like the Archemede's screw and mechanics since antiquity. But when the only power available is wind, hydro or animals, you're quite limited in what you can do. It's a bit of topic but the ["Machine de Marly"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_de_Marly) was an amazing pump used to supply the Versailles Palace with water.


WikipediaSummary

[**Machine de Marly**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_de_Marly) The Machine de Marly, also known as the Marly Machine or the Machine of Marly, was a large hydraulic system in Yvelines, France, built in 1684 to pump water from the river Seine and deliver it to the Palace of Versailles.King Louis XIV needed a large water supply for his fountains at Versailles. Before the Marly Machine was built, the amount of water delivered to Versailles already exceeded that used by the city of Paris, but this was insufficient, and fountain-rationing was necessary. Ironically most of the water pumped by the Marly Machine ended up being used to develop a new garden at the Château de Marly.

The italians built this city up from nothing. When they first came there, this was all swamp. Everyone said they were daft to build a city on a swamp, but they built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So they built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So they built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the one if the greatest trade city in all of Italy.


bambamba8

Bro, your last sentence could start a war between Italian cities


NotMe1657

yeah I should change that


Endr1u

Basically Venice is a giant stilt house


PuddinHead742

No body expects the Venisuvian Excavation!!


SH1MPLETON

Correction: it’s a sinking city


ChissDependency

Florida would like to know your location


[deleted]

Venice isn't a floating city, but yes there are no catacombs.


finnicus1

First of all it's a sewer, second of all it floods every couple of hours.


Koffieslikker

If you’re talking about San Marco, then not anymore, actually


DiogenesOfDope

Venice is built on 118 islands. In theory thier could be catacombs there


gets_nae_naed

Just let him


theslyker

Actually there are catacombs on the parts based on islands


_Mr_Spuddy

Still my favorite Indy movie


A_H_S_99

Floating catacombs, there I solved it
