Man Protected Himself With Arm During Pompeii Earthquake
May 16, 2023
Two more victims of the powerful volcanic eruption and earthquake that buried the city of Pompeii have just been uncovered. Italy's Culture Ministry says the remains of two people, likely men in their 50s, were found in the Pompeii Archaeological Park. One of the well-preserved skeletons appears to have an arm shielding his face, presumably in an attempt to protect himself. 2020 was the last time human remains were found in Pompeii.
