Scientists have a headache after discovering the basement with about 50 intact skeletons, during the Pompeii volcano disaster in Roman times.

According to Express, Vesuvius volcano in Italy today, erupted in 79, creating one of the worst volcanic disasters.

The room containing 50 skeletons in the city of Pompeii gave headache to archaeologists.

Volcanoes spray ashes up to 1.5 million tons per second, creating giant columns of smoke tens of kilometers high. Vesuvius volcano completely engulfed the ancient city of Pompeii, leaving thousands of people permanently buried.

Nearly 2000 years later, experts still have a headache when studying the remains and artifacts, especially a basement also called 'Room 10'.

This basement is located under a house, discovered by archaeologists in the 1980s. The cellar contains about 50 intact skeletons. The skeletons are divided into two groups. One group wears a lot of gold, silver, gems and the other has absolutely no jewels.

On the British Channel Channel 5, the host said: 'Experts are verifying the crime behind the 2,000-year-old volcano disaster, in a room full of remains.'

The 50 skeletons are divided into two different groups of people.

'After decades of excavation, archaeologists still have a headache with the mystery,' the host said. ' The most confusing thing is that there are two groups of people inside the cellar.'

The group at the end of the room did not have any personal possessions, while the group near the door wore many jewels and gold.

Archaeologist Kristina Killgrove explains: 'There are lots of coins, gold coins, jewels in group one that we don't see in group two. Maybe these are two different classes in society '.

But why do two different groups of people share a room? Archaeologists hypothesize that 'there are bandits, or thieves among those who shelter in the cellar before they die'.

Archaeologists believe this is the most plausible explanation, after finding a form of safe to store the treasures of the ancients. This safe has signs of demolition, robbing valuable assets just before the disaster.

Killgrove said: 'The owner of that valuable box may also be in the room. The box has 4 locking mechanisms to help protect the contents'.

Archaeologists said that at the time of the volcanic disaster, the scene in the ancient city of Pompeii was very chaotic. These opportunistic offenders cause crimes everywhere.

Many people do not know the scale of the disaster, hide in the bunker but die because of the high temperatures.

It is estimated that the volcanic Vesuvius erupted produced 100,000 times the melted energy of the US nuclear bomb on two Japanese cities. More than 1,000 people died in the volcanic tragedy, the entire city was buried.

Today, Vesuvius remains one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes, threatening the lives of 3 million people who live nearby.
