Last words caption: “I told you we should have went to Hawaii for vacation instead!”
I heard it was a red light city. Like Pattaya, Thailand.
It might read like Epstein’s client list.
Resort towns are full of tourists and imported workers.
Well, you see in Roman times they had these people that were brought in from far away to perform manual labor, and were called “slaves...”
I question the accuracy of DNA analysis, especially when used to trace distant ancestry or ethnicity.
This always bugs me.
two adults and two children found in the house were all unrelated males
That's what assumptions do. There are a million different reasons for this group. The men may have tried to save children who were running in the streets or the men were pervs or the children were neighbors and ran to the house on their own or the men didn't know each other but happened to run inside or they were friends from work and were meeting for a round of golf or watch the Cowboys' game. But then the articles says how shocking it was to find out the two girls was a girl and a boy so that's confusing. Two girls, to two boys and then a girl and a boy.
If you were wealthy enough, male or female, you wore gold jewelry so what's the big deal about a man wearing a bracelet? Men wore gold bracelets, period.
Sisters turned out to maybe be a brother protecting his sister.
analyzing the DNA of a further 168 individuals at Pompeii, the results of which “will offer us a much more precise and complete population panorama,”
Nope, far from complete population. At least they are continuing to test. Pompeii is interesting.
They came for the whoo-houses. Pompei was chock-full of them.
I am reminded of the joke I heard years ago. Archeologists were digging ten thousand years from now and dug up a temple representing an enormous religious group of sun worshippers. They knew this because beneath what appeared to be two broken yellow halos were the words, 20,000,000 served........
They came from surprisingly far away...
Perhaps as far away as the author's and researcher's gloves and hands (when they were not wearing gloves).
Adult male wearing women’s jewelry and embracing an unrelated child. The mystery deepens. How did Democrats get from San Francisco to Pompeii in 79 AD?
Could any of those unexplained Roman mechanical devices have had anything to do with this?
My head is going to be aching before I figure this out.
“Cosmopolitan” cause pointing out the truth that they were almost entirely certain to have been Roman slaves would be “too harsh”
Something that is not discussed is that the majority of the population had fled. Those left behind (and consequently died) were slaves and hired help. They were left behind to watch after their masters property.

Perhaps the males were trying to take the children to safety. Perhaps unrelated people embraced as they were overwhelmed by terror. These are normal human reactions to danger and doom.
