Pompeii was a vast Roman town in the Italian area of Campania. 1,900 years prior because of a volcanic ejection in Mount Vesuvius a large number of individuals passed on and got covered under the fiery remains. Records pass on that the fiery remains from the emission was several feet into the air for 18 hours, which fell onto the destined town, stifling occupants and covering structures.
This savage calamity left the town deserted. Covered bodies were rediscovered from 9 meters underneath the Earth. Restorers of the Pompeii archeological site filled the dead bodies with the mortar throws to protect them, yet now they have found another approach to save the bodies.
