It’s so weird to be looking at casts with real dead people inside contorted exactly as they were at the moment of their death. Being in that room with them must have been eerie to say the least.
I’d love to see them sometime, but ditto what you said. Some of the bones survived, including at least partial craniums and mandibles, so that the mouths have the original teeth. While none have been identified per se (AFAIK), several people who worked in and were fleeing the temple of Isis were found, still carrying parts of the temple treasury.
Thing about those “trapped” by the Pompeii eruption, they were there because they chose to be.
The volcano had been rumbling for 16 years prior ... plenty of warning to move.
And from so long ago, too.
