The Pompeii Disaster Was Nothing Like We Imagined
Manage episode 481892302 series 2914294
Turns out, the disaster at Pompeii wasn’t exactly how we always pictured it. New research shows most people didn’t die slowly buried under ash — they were killed almost instantly by super-hot, fast-moving gas clouds. The heat was so intense that it basically caused their bodies to vaporize in seconds. That’s a lot more brutal and sudden than the slow suffocation we used to think happened. Plus, the eruption was even more powerful and chaotic than the old stories made it seem. In short, Pompeii’s end was way faster, hotter, and scarier than we ever imagined.
