#BlackAndWhite #BiancoeNero #Monochrome Credevano di essere oramai in salvo. Per tutta la giornata dal Vesuvio erano precipitati pomici e lapilli, ma Ercolano era stata risparmiata. Loro, circa 300 persone, avevano trovato rifugio nei 12 ricoveri per barche scavati nella scogliera. Ma nella notte di quel 24 agosto del 79 d.C., devastanti nubi di gas e ceneri, i cosiddetti surge, si abbatterono sulla città e sulla spiaggia, avvolgendo i loro corpi. Morirono tutti di shock fulminante. Dunque non furono soffocati dalla cenere, come si crede comunemente, ma fu l' enorme calore ad arrestare all' improvviso l' attività dei loro organi vitali. Nessuno si accorse di nulla. I loro scheletri furono sepolti dalla cenere in posizioni del tutto normali.

It's chilling to think about that scene... It's like putting people in an oven with incredible temperatures to melt their organs instantly... Amazing your sodium testimony and exhaustive the caption.

Hello Salvatore, thanks for the visit and for the comment.
In fact the places that you can visit to the excavations have a significant impact. While we can consider it a bad end for those people, on the other hand there is the fact that they have not had time to suffer any suffering. I read that we speak of moments between the wave of warmth and death.
a greeting.
