Archaeologists Discover 2 New Skeletons At Pompeii

Archaeologists have discovered two skeletons in Pompeii, Italy on May 16, 2023 that they believe were men who died when a wall collapsed on them during the powerful earthquakes that accompanied the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. The skeletons were discovered at the excavation site known as the Insula dei Casti Amanti (Insula of the Chaste Lovers). According to Gabriel Zuchtriegel (Right), the Director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, the two were men working in an area that was not a luxurious part of Pompeii, possibly involved in building projects using plaster and amphorae filled with water. He said that the bones show various fractures and are mixed with pieces of the wall that crumbled on them. Bone fractures indicate that the men probably died as a result of multiple injuries sustained as the building they sought refuge in caved in because of an earthquake that struck during the early stage of the volcanic eruption. One of the victims is thought to have raised his arm in an attempt to protect him
