That archeological dig there in Pompeii is facinating. Probably the most preserved site. But.

There was a volcano erupting!!!..They were clinging to each other in Terror... and being "almost certain of being man and women". I figure forensics will tell anyway...But maybe it's two women, or two men in an embrace. Just wondering. Being in the Roman times and all.

Pompeii is 400 miles south and about 3000 years later than these remains we're talking about, though.

I am glad you pointed that out.
My Socials class will be continuing onto Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophies and I'll tell you if that correction was not made...

I know a volcanic eruption was not the cause.

I had to re-read that and so don't remove it.

Gillie stick around, who cares what they think. You post what you want.

Bet they were having an epic fight before they died.

Too bad there's no soft tissue preserved. I'd love to know what the funky bits were up to when the pater familias busted them.
