Two skeletons have been found in Italy's Pompeii, the latest discovery coming from the ruins of the ancient Roman city wiped out by an eruption of the Mount Vesuvius volcano nearly 2,000 years ago. The human remains were recovered from the "House of the Painters at Work", and are "probably" of two men in their 50s who died in an earthquake that accompanied the eruption, Italy's Culture Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. Pompeii Archaeological Park Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel said they were killed not by volcanic ash but by building collapses, noting that wall fragments were found between their fractured bones. Pompeii, 14 miles southeast of Naples, was home to about 13,000 people when it was buried under ash, pumice pebbles, and dust as it endured the force of an eruption in the year 79 AD equivalent to many atomic bombs. — NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
