A sea of people were found by archaeologists in a curiously frozen Roman metropolis.

When the volcano Vesuvius erupted in the year 79, the Roman city of Pompeii was “obliterated,” killing about 2,000 people. After excavating this site, archaeologists discovered perhaps petrified bodies.

Archaeologists discovered a number of persons who had been petrified in the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii in the Roman Empire (modern-day Italy). These remains served as proof of a tragic event that took place some 2,000 years ago.

The volcano Vesvis specifically “woke up” and erupted violently in the year 79. The heaviest hit areas were the towns at the foot of this volcano, including Hercules, Pompeii, and a few others.

According to them, Pompeii is the location that the Vesuvian volcanic eruption “wiped out” totally. For many, Pompeii is the site that was “wiped out” entirely as a result of the Vesuvian volcanic disaster. The flaming red lava poured downward, carrying many massive boulders along the route and creating huge columns of ash. The flaming red lava poured downward, carrying numerous sizable rocks along with it and forming enormous columns of ash.

Due to Pompeii’s proximity to the Vesuvius volcano, the entire city was quickly covered in several meters of volcanic rock and ash.

These victims passed away in a variety of ways. Several corpses possess the common characteristic of instantly freezing when exposed to extremely hot lava. Others perished from suffocation caused by gas and ash.

They eventually turn into frightened individuals. After nearly 2,000 years, the victims’ bodies were virtually intact.

Not just humans, but a number of domesticated animals grown at Pompeii also perished along with their owners.

Following this disaster, Pompeii was abandoned and used as a cemetery for a long time.
