The couple is buried by volcanic lava, not separated after thousands of years
In 79 AD, the volcano Vesuvius erupted and buried all of Pompeii in the ancient Roman empire. This place is like an extremely large cemetery. Pompeii was submerged in the ground 1600 years ago. It was not until 1599, thanks to an architect designing the channel to regulate the flow, this fact was found. But, it took 150 years, archaeologists began excavating and learning about it.
Pompei city.
In the mid-sixties of the 19th century, an archaeologist named Giuseppe Fiore Lee discovered that the ashes were found to be fossil ash of people buried by volcanic lava . These fossils are found not only by humans but also by animals. They tried to escape, but all were buried and petrified with enough postures when trying to escape.
Pompeii city is about 65 hectares wide, the thickness of ash ash is 5.6 meters high.17 years ago, the volcano erupted again, there was an intense earthquake, many buildings were destroyed, but this event did not draw people's attention.
This is a victim at Pompeii buried by volcanic lava that year.He is also trying to run to escape.Petrified ash also showed that his teeth were well preserved.
And this is the image of a couple who love each other, men hug the woman as if to protect the girl.
The archaeologist also found the stone ash of the children.
Not all bodies burned by lava are well preserved. Now, through the excavation process, archaeologists have found 100 human fossils.
There were also fossils found, this person was in a scene of dreadful daze, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was still open before closing.
There are also figures that show, they are scared and desperate.They did not run away but covered their eyes with their hands to wait for death.
The animal-shaped stone was also found, it resembles a dog image. Perhaps, before dying, it is in a state of struggle.
The images found are the remnants of Pompeii that exist until now.This ruins have been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage list.Every year, it welcomes more than 2.5 million visitors.However, only 1/3 of Pompeii city is open to visitors, the rest remains buried in the soil.
Standing in front of natural disasters, people are extremely small. Confucius once said: "The person who follows the land, the land agrees with the heavens, the sky follows the path, the path follows the nature. All things go like that and survive". The sight of the whole city buried by the volcanic disaster caused us to contemplate the morality of human beings according to heaven and earth but to move and survive. Is it because of the adversity of the paradise that the city of Pompeii is punished by heaven?
