also iirc there's not even a skeleton inside the ash people it's just that the ash hardened around some people
No I think there are still skeletons there. They don't do the plaster casting anymore because it fucks up the bones.

They probably get more information from bone science stuff, instead of just guessing things like, "This man's genitals are poorly delineated because he was jacking off so furiously when he died that the ash couldn't even settle".

I'm imagining this guy running in a panic, but at a way that he actually sees the giant stone headed right at him about 2 seconds before it hits him so he has enough time to realize the irony that it's not the volcano that's going to kill him after all, so he just stops and stares at it while giving a small shrugging laugh and an 'oh gently caress' right as it plows into him

the pelvis position is pretty conclusive, it makes sense that complex structures like those legs might settle in strange ways but unless he was literally turning over in his grave over getting incredibly owned he caught a goddamn lintel stone in the face lmao

I think the coolest story about the Vesuvius eruption is Pliny the Elder, a naturalist who tried to document the world but much like most ancient thinkers was satisfied with making up completely insane poo poo. He had a house across the bay and saw the eruption from there. His response wasn't "Holy gently caress, I got to get out of here!", it was "I gotta check this poo poo out! Oh, and rescue people." So he gets on a boat and sails over but now giant burning rocks are falling from the sky and the guy steering the ship goes, "We got to get the gently caress out of here!" but Pliny responds, "Fortune favors the bold! Keep going!" and straps a cushion to his head just in case a ten pound chunk of molten rock happens to drop on it.

There's two versions of what happens next and one is much more likely than the other. See if you can get which one it is. One option is he gets to the other side, and then proceeds to party in the crumbling city. Eventually his buddies go, "gently caress this, we gotta get out of here!" but Pliny collapses and dies finally overcome by the gasses. The other version of the story is that he gets to the other side and just sails around for a while watching people die and then finally goes, "gently caress it's hot. Hey slave, stab me a few times so I can cool off." The likely true event is Pliny partying to death in a burning city getting covered in ash and lava.

Naw, he never got to Pompeii itself (there were a lot of towns destroyed in the eruption) and his body was recovered about a week later when the burning and ash and poisonous gasses finally subsided by his creatively named nephew Pliny the Younger.

Furthermore

About three-quarters of the known Pompeii victims are “frozen in suspended actions” and show evidence of sudden muscle contractions, such as curled toes, the study says.
A vigorous fist gently caress sesh will do that

What? Obviously the loving nutforce knocked him back, his cum exploded the wall, the ash hit him, he froze, dead. His dog is a statue just off camera looking real disturbed.

I went to the British Museum once while they were having a Last Days of Pompeii exhibit, but it cost like 10 pounds to see so I declined and looked at mummies for free.

My friend made a total dad joke ‘you mean I have to Pom-pay to get in?!’

I always wondered if the Pompeii ash-cast people or mummies, back when they were still alive, ever stopped to muse ‘I wonder if, in 2000 years, a bunch of strange people will gawk at my corpse?’

‘Well if that’s the case, I hope I get owned by a giant rock!’

If you had to die it would be much quicker to quickly get smooshed by a big rock than slowly suffocating with poisonous gases and ash. This guy was a lot luckier than people that actually got into a shelter that would soon be buried forever.
