These pictures are of some of the people that they unearthed that were petrified under the ash....they were trying to escape the volcano lava as they saw it rolling down the hill..they said that most of the people who did escape were the most rich people who escaped in boats into the sea...and the people in these pictures were found in the garden..didn't quite make it...the were affixiated with the poisonous gases and petrified on the spot....so so sad....you got goose bumps just standing there looking at this....
In the other pictures of Pompei....I forgot to mention...that is Mt. Vesuvius that you see in the background! and is still the only active volcano in Europe and it threatens the inhabitants of Pompei today.....you think that they would relocate wouldn't you?
