A house was found in Pompeii where the owner tried to take his savings from a chest in the last minutes of his life during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This was reported by Live Science.
Archaeologists found the remains of a man and a woman in the ancient city of Pompeii, 10 kilometers from Mount Vesuvius, which erupted in 79 AD. e. The city was home to 10-20 thousand people, of whom 2,000 did not survive the disaster.
In a small room of an old house, they found a woman of 35-45 years old lying next to the bed, holding a pair of gold and pearl earrings and a handful of gold, silver and bronze coins. She probably had a key that opened a small chest next to the bed. She probably wanted to escape the explosion by taking her valuables. A young man of 15-20 years old was trapped under the collapsed wall near the exit of the house. The relationship between him and the woman in the bedroom is unknown.
Archaeologists also found a three-legged stool and a wooden table with a marble top, filled with glass, bronze and ceramic dishes and lamps. The objects were reconstructed by pouring plaster into the cavities of the ruins.
