New Pompeii excavations uncover victims' final moments during Vesuvius eruption.

The discovery of two skeletons in Pompeii has revealed that deaths were not just caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, but also by earthquakes that preceded it. The skeletons were found in a room with a collection of bowls and jugs, necklace beads, and six coins. The discovery sheds light on the "inferno that destroyed the city in two days" and highlights the fragility of human mortality. Over 1,300 victims have been found in the archaeological site south of Naples over the last 250 years.
