As if Pompeii victims didn't have it bad enough, it turns out many were killed by earthquakes too.
Two men, thought to have been around 55 years old, were buried during an earthquake in Pompeii
Archaeologists have discovered two skeletons buried beneath a collapsed wall in Pompeii, which was famously destroyed by the violent event. They were found beneath a wall that collapsed before the area was covered in volcanic material. The area was undergoing reconstruction work at the time of the eruption in 79CE, following an earthquake a few days earlier.
‘In recent years, we have realised there were violent, powerful seismic events that were happening at the time of the eruption,’ said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park.He added that new archaeological techniques and methodology had allowed them to ‘understand better the inferno that in two days completely destroyed the city of Pompeii, killing many inhabitants’, making it possible to determine the dynamic of deaths down to the final seconds.
