Article on the Pompeii mummies

https://www.cnet.com/news/pompeiians-healthy-before-volcanic-death-ct-scans-reveal/



quote:

Perhaps the most famous volcanic catastrophe in all of history was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. It was an extraordinarily violent event: The volcano exploded, heaving ash, stones and fumes 33 kilometres (20.5 miles) into the air, and ejecting crushed pumice and lava at a rate of 1.5 million tons per second.

The eruption lasted 18 hours, spewing several billion tons of debris. This fell on the nearby towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum and several smaller settlements. While many citizens were able to evacuate and survive, others took shelter in buildings. This move was ultimately to prove fatal. As the ash and pumice accumulated on rooftops, the buildings collapsed under the weight, burying and suffocating those inside. The bodies were sealed inside when lava flowed and hardened over the top of the ash and pumice.

Herculaneum, which was the closer of the two cities, was buried under 23 metres (75.4ft) of material, including lava flows. Pompeii was buried under 2.5-3 metres (8.2-9.8ft) of material, consisting mainly of pumice and ash. Both cities were considered too damaged to rebuild and were simply abandoned, the bodies left buried.

Turns out there were other ways to die during this event as well!



Though there's been recent speculation he was crushed post-mortum it's a cooler to think this dude got fuckin OWNED as he was already fleeing

The original inscription is
"XIII K(alendas) MAIAS PANEM FECI"

"13th day before the kalends of May" is indeed what they called April 19th (they were real hosed up and counted down the days of the months to the "nones" of the current month, then to the ides, then to the kalends, ie the start, of the next month).

In our current calendar counting back to 79 AD that would be *checks notes* April 17th.

I think this was better quicker way to go than getting boiled alive by the pyroclastic flow.

The good news is, that poo poo is so hot, and moves so fast, that your death is pretty much instant, and you wouldn't even have a chance to feel anything.

Some of the recovered got cooked alive so quickly that their brains boiled inside their skulls so fast that the pressure couldn't be released and their heads literally exploded from their steamed brains expanding as they were encased.

...I'd say death was as fairly quick as you could hope in that case.

"Your braincase is literally a popcorn kernal in an instant" probably isn't the worse way to go, especially if you barely see it coming after a few seconds of confusion.

The Pompeii and Herculaneum victims got the best fate any human could hope for: a quick relatively painless death followed by people in the far future examining and memorializing them and exhibiting them for tourists forever. Do you want to just loving fade away or something??

I really like the idea of using graffiti to just remark about what you’re doing in the moment. I mean I guess it’s just like social media on a literal wall, but it’s got some class.

"years" dont actually exist. the earth orbits the sun a little different each time it goes around, we just hardly notice because of our puny human time scale. being on the same date is arbitrary regardless of what calendar system you are using.
