The incredible truth about couples hugging each other under the ashes 2,000 years ago

Since it was discovered, two people died in a posture of embracing each other under volcanic ash in Pompeii nearly 2,000 years ago to become a research topic of scientists. And recently, the researchers announced the unexpected truth about the couple.

About 2,000 years ago, a massive volcano took place next to the city of Pompeii in ancient Rome, causing molten lava to sweep thickly, the dust and dust blinding the sky. This is a terrible disaster that made this place completely erased.

Until later, scientists conducted excavations of the remains of this ancient city, and found two people dead in a tight hug. Since it was discovered, these two people were called "two virgins ", two girls had died together and hugged each other tightly when the terrible incident struck.

The bodies of two people who hugged each other later made the mistake of Pompeii being two virgins for 2,000 years.

But according to the latest research results, by CAT scan and DNA testing on two bodies, scientists determined that these were the two men of male sex . This result is a big surprise in the scientific community.

Test results show that two people are not relatives. The true relationship of these two people will never be known, but it is also possible that they are a homosexual couple.

"Conducting excavations at Pompeii has never surprised us. We used to think that they were two girls, but now through CAT scanning and DNA testing, we know they are two people. men ", manager Massimo Osanna said Pompeii archaeological site.

The results of the analysis of the bones and teeth of these two people show that they are very young, aged between 18 and 20. This position shows that they intend to lie so to arrange so that a person hugs and places Head on the other man's chest.

Archaeologists conduct analysis of the teeth and bones of two corpses and discover they are two men.

"When they learned that the two bodies were not virgins, some scholars immediately determined what their relationship was. DNA testing showed that they could not be relatives, brothers and sisters. However, their relationship is likely to be same-sex love , " said Professor Stefano Vanacore (who led the research at Pompeii).

Archaeologist Vittorio Spinazzola was the first to cast the plaster statues of the victims after he discovered it in the early 20th century, to preserve and serve for later research.

Since 2015, other researchers have begun to continue that work and conducted the preservation of the bodies of 86 other victims after the horrifying volcanic eruption of Vesuvius two millennia ago.

The city was officially wiped out in 79 AD, the most accurate estimate was that thousands of people had lost their lives because they couldn't run away from molten lava flows.

Dozens of bodies were discovered and preserved in plaster molds at Pompeii.

Many documents and ancient documents recorded this event, as an unforgettable part of ancient Roman history. Poet Pliny witnessed this catastrophe with his own eyes when standing from a distance, his poems recounting the incident found in the 16th century.

He said the incident was too fast, causing the residents of Pompeii to panic. Smoke pillars like umbrellas rose up from the giant volcano and the dense smoke covered the surrounding areas, making it as dark as night.

People fled in panic, crying out in extreme panic. The rain of ash and rock dust were continuously poured down in just a few hours. The eruption only lasted less than a day, but it erupted so much that the whole city was engulfed in smoke.

Hundreds of lucky people fled and took refuge in sheltered houses at Herculaneum's coast. Those who were able to carry precious jewelry with them were immediately killed by others while staying together.

Many people were so panicked that they could only hide in the house and close the door, these people were engulfed in their own houses after the hot lava flow washed away everything in its path.

It was a terrible disaster that Pliny had seen in his life. The exact number of deaths is still unknown, but it is estimated that this number must exceed 10,000.

Location of Pompeii, the site of the horrific disaster in 79 AD, is now an area in southern Italy.
