Bodies of man and his slave unearthed from ashes at Pompeii
Read full article: Bodies of man and his slave unearthed from ashes at PompeiiPompeii officials said the men apparently escaped the initial fall of ash from Mount Vesuvius then succumbed to a powerful volcanic blast that took place the next morning. The later blast โapparently invaded the area from many points, surrounding and burying the victims in ash,โ Pompeii officials said in a statement. That finding led archaeologists to hypothesize that he was a young man who did manual labor, like that of a slave. He was estimated to have been 30- to 40-years-old, Pompeii officials said. While excavations continue at the site near Naples, tourists are currently barred from the archaeological park under national anti-COVID-19 measures.
