Two new remains have been found in the excavation at Pompeii, which has been preserved from the volcanic ashes of Vesuvius more than 2000 years ago.
The imposing Italian volcano had a fatal eruption in AD 79. The authorities responsible for the excavations warn that the two remains were found in the Civita Giuliana, 700 meters northwest of Pompeii.

The two were found in a villa overlooking the Gulf of Naples and have been preserved under the volcanic ash that covered people and buildings. The layer of ash has made the remains as well as the buildings and objects very well preserved and Pompeii has become an international tourist destination that allows a glimpse of the past.
Investigators believe that the remains that have now been found belong to a young slave and a wealthy man. This is based on the remains of your clothing and your physical condition. According to the BBC, the age of the slave is estimated to be 18 to 23 years, while the rich man is estimated to be between 30 and 40 years old.
They were found in a crypt attached to the village where they probably hid from the volcanic eruption. A stable and the remains of three horses in harnesses were found near the village. Excavations in Pompeii continue despite the coronavirus, but the pandemic has halted tourist visits to the historic site.

– The two victims may have sought refuge in the basement after the outbreak. The hands and feet show that they died from thermal shock (sudden temperature change, editor’s note), says Massimo Osanna, director of the archaeological site in a statement.
The eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 is among the deadliest volcanic eruptions known in Europe. Estimates of how many died differ, but there were at least 2,000.
