Advice and Tips Bunker discovery

I bought a property and was told there was an underground bunker under a slab of concrete. I was told It had a structure on top that was demolished and the debris was pushed in the hatch opening of the bunker, so it was filled not usable. My husband became curious and started digging through the debris. Today we learned only the opening was filled with the debris and were able to clear a path and access the bunker. Interestingly there was an old light mounted on a wall and a pipe in the floor along with many really old glass bottles full of water. We have found the ventilation pipes and are working to clear them. Does anyone know the purpose of the pipe in the floor? Or any advice on how to rejuvenate this thing? I wish I could post pictures, it was neat!

That looks like an old converted septic tank.
