quote:

Officials at the Pompeii archaeological site have announced a dramatic new discovery, the skeleton of a man crushed by an enormous stone while trying to flee the explosion of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Pompeii officials on Tuesday released a photograph showing the skeleton protruding from beneath a large block of stone that may have been a door jamb that had been "violently thrown by the volcanic cloud."


imagine being owned so hard people dig you up two millennia later and it’s international news

Dude was lucky. Probably died instantly, and he would have died anyway.

If you've taken the time to read this thread, please take the time to read 'The Last Days of Pompeii' by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. It's a wonderfully over the top early-victorian melodrama detailing the lives and loves and lusts of the degenerate Romans hanging out in Pompeii in the summer of 79ad.

The bodies rotted underneath the volcano vomit then archeologists filled the voids left behind to make plaster casts in situ

Yeah, I've seen some of the casts, of like kids and poo poo, and they basically all show signs of dying in terrible suffocating agony. This guy won the lottery.

I'm pretty sure I heard there's evidence that the guy jerking off and the guy owned by a rock were buddies and had adventures together before the eruption.
