Vatican grottoes hide pagan tombs beneath Peter’s crypt
An UPI report describes the three-tier Vatican grottoes beneath St. Peter's Basilica. The lowest level holds pre Christian pagan statues and frescoes, the middle level preserves early Christian martyrs including St. Peter, and tradition links Peter’s crucifixion to 64 A.D. Constantine later built a lavish church on the site.
