Kathmandu. On Saturday, archeologists at an archaeological park in Italy discovered remnants of bodies of two victims of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Based on the vestiges of clothing and their physical appearance, the skeletal remains are believed to have been of a rich man of around 40 years of age and his male slave, attempting to escape death from the volcanic eruption that happened 2,000 years ago.
The massive archaeological site that spreads over 44-hectares (110-acres) is the remains of one of the richest cities in the Roman Empire, Pompeii, that was submerged in ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The abandoned city of Pompeii is Italy’s second most visited tourist destination after the Colosseum of Rome, attracting almost 4 million visitors last year.
The archaeological excavations in Pompeii have accelerated this year due to the fall in the flow of tourists caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
