Death in pompeii
Pompeii was a town wiped out by Mount Vesuvius by an eruption. The ash and pumice from the volcanic eruption had been raining down for at least 18 hours and went to depths of 8-10 feet. According to researchers Pompeii had been completely hidden for 1600 years until 1748 it was rediscovered, not only the houses but some of the citizens as well. They had found little fragments of the bone but the volcanic debris had hardened and showed the forms that the citizens had died in. They died by suffocating on the volcanic gasses and they were covered in ash and debris that hardened and decayed the bones and left a mould of the body.
The scientists had filled the moulds with plaster to find out who it was and to make plastered mummies. There were 500,000 victims in the Macellum crisis they had been discovered that they had tried to cover their mouths to protect themselves from the gasses. 90% of the people died in buildings when the roofs and floors collapsed the other 10% died in early casualties, researchers believe that they were found in the seventh or sixth century.
