Archaeology Find

[GeraldParticipant 3620]

So was cruising through some news feeds today and this came up:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/29/health/pompeii-victim-crushed-rock-eruption-intl-trnd/index.html

And we all know how biased some of the reporting is, but this is a short raw news feed type story, discussing a find in Pompeii

Apparently this victim was fleeing and hit by a stone thrown from the eruption, crushing his head… this is just amazing how the bodies were preserved in Pompeii… and we are still finding them. Has always fascinated me, but this one shows the violence of the eruption, to throw stones like that… just find it really interesting.

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

Great find Gerald and an example for what folks around the world face whenever a volcano or earthquake or tsunami, or … insert your national disaster of course, occurs.

Point of clarification, the rock was a piece of building material and not actual volcanic ejecta.

The way things look lately on a geological scale, I think we’re gonna be the ones needing steel umbrellas!

When man is compared to this rock revolving around the sun. Man is easily ended.

Pompeii has always fascinated me as well. A fresh water source. Fertile ground for growing crops. A classic metropolis. Ended in minutes against a hiccup from earth.

Years ago I saw a picture that I think captured a family in their homes in positions of daily activity and they were gone in an instant… from likely the gas released and then they were petrified in place by the lava flow… but that was before the internet…

Researchers are now saying that the extreme heat (trauma) instantly shocked/killed many of the population instead of being asphyxiated by volcanic ash and gas.

You can bet the Rus have a 10MT warhead aimed at it.

Cool find.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

Looks like the guy is laying on his back, so he took that slab of rock to the face….. ouch.

Naples, Italy, nearby also has an active volcano under it or very close to it and it is being monitored by scientists.

Also, the 2009 June National Geographic shows the crater track from multiple former eruptions across Oregon to Wyoming of the volcano now under Yellowstone.

The Antarctic also has an active volcano under it.

1816 was known as “the year without a summer” in New England because of the Tamboro eruption in 1815.

Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest U.S. underwent three major glaciations. The topography of Wisconsin is sculpted by those glaciers. The Capitol, Madison, sits atop a terminal moraine.

Spit my drink out all over the screen on that one. Thanks man hahahaha

The answer, is no.

I’m eagerly waiting for archaeologists to dig up an actual Denisovan skeleton. They found a tooth and a finger which is great but a skull or spine would be better.

Denisovans are an extinct hominid group we evolved/interbred from. Similar to Neaderthal and homo Erectus but different…
