Secret Archives of the Vatican
Ofcourse there are secret vaults in Vatican!
The Catholic Church first officially started keeping a library around the fourth century. Formed at the height of the first great heresy craze, the
contents of this library included a lot of attacks on heretical branches of Christianity and the documents and scriptures used by these heretical
branches.
As the centuries wore on, the list of banned and dangerous books grew and grew, thanks to repeated expansions of the enemies list and aggressive
attempts to snuff out the list's members. The Inquisitions rounded up hundreds of books on topics ranging from Protestantism to Witchcraft and ritual
magic, to the libraries of groups like the Knights Templar and the Cathars.

Among the more recent good guesses were the contents of the Third Secret of Fatima, an allegedly devastating prophecy of doom delivered by the
Virgin Mary in a series of appearances to illiterate peasant children which was allegedly revealed by the Church in 2000. Under intense pressure, the
Church released a series of 20th century documents from the secret archives relating to papal complicity in the rise of the Nazis in Germany.
In addition to Nazi collaboration, the archives are generally thought to contain rather a lot of information about the Catholic Church's
wrongdoings, such as the current scandal on priestly pedophilia. In fact, the archives contain miles of allegations concerning the sexual kinks and
other vices enjoyed by priests and bishops, dating back to at least the 14th century, and possibly even earlier.
So, if you think Vatican has alot of secrets about how Jesus was an extraterrestrial and that he was A Black man with Dreadlocks, or that he had a
wife named Mary and that they had kids and stuff like that; just forget it. Its just books.
But then again, who really knows how many vaults there are below Vatican city and a vast network of catacombs.
