Saed News: Archaeologists discover nearly complete remains of two victims of a volcanic eruption in the ancient city of Pompeii
According to SAEDNEWS, citing Sarpoosh, archaeologists have successfully uncovered, through excavation in the ancient city of Pompeii located in Italy, the nearly complete remains of two men who were victims of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. Archaeologists believe that the remains of these two men, which were discovered in a house located in the outskirts of Pompeii, belong to a wealthy middle-aged man and a young man who was likely his worker. Archaeologists described this discovery as a completely exceptional discovery, and at the same time the Minister of Culture of Italy also announced that this discovery shows the importance of research and excavation in Pompeii. It appears that these two men had escaped the first stage of this volcanic eruption, during which Pompeii was covered by volcanic ash, but ultimately became victims of the next-day explosion of this volcano. Experts believe that one of these discovered remains belongs to a young man aged about 18 to 25 years, and due to compression in the spine, he is expected to have been a worker or a slave. The other man was approximately 30 to 40 years old and had a better skeletal structure. This discovery is one of the latest astonishing discoveries in Pompeii. Previously, the remains of two women and three children had been discovered in the same city. The historical site of Pompeii, which is currently closed to tourists, normally received about four million visitors annually. The ruins of Pompeii were discovered in the 16th century AD. The first archaeological excavation in this area dates back to the year 1748.
