One of the #Pompeii volcano victims. This is the best-preserved face I've ever seen from that event.

@j Did you see the show on PBS tonight?
My gosh. The faces.
This one is defined!
such an incredible story.
I got to see a Pompeii art exhibit at the Getty in Malibu in about 2012?
Everything about it is fascinating.

I got to see this exhibit years ago. Very unsettling. My joke to break the tension was pointing to writing on a piece of stone and saying, “hey! They really did use Roman numerals!”

@JJ @j I saw this exhibit as well and still shutter at how the human body reacted when hit with the extreme heat from the pyroclastic flow.

You can look up the details, but do so on an empty stomach.

@Walker @JJ You know..I think I'll pass on that. I'm sure the details are gruesome.
