The Painted Skulls of Halstatt

"Halstatt is known as the oldest continuous human settlement, with archeological finds dating back to 5000 BC. It’s one of the most beautiful lakeside mountain resorts on the face of the Earth, but tourists come here not primarily for the breathtaking scenery, but for something many people might find rather disturbing, a crypt filled with human skulls."
