The two men died during the so-called second pyroclastic flow, which occurred after the initial eruption.

You don’t outrun the pyroclastic flow and death comes rapidly.

When do we hear the calls for reparations?

"Civita Giuliana"
Maybe related to Giuliani?

We went to Herculaneum a few years ago. A very sobering experience to say the least.

LOL, my first thought when we visited Pompeii was like, “Dude, this is where Pink Floyd played.”

I visited Pompeii back in 1970. Truly a fascinating place. I have always watched any TV shows about it and find it amusing how the experts opinions of who was what change over the years. Irregardless, if you ever have the chance to go - do NOT pass it up.

LOL!! You got to go there? That's awesome. I watch a lot of British programming that I download from various sites, and they are always doing documentary series on Pompeii and Herculaneum. I watched one program quite a while ago where they were able to get a sample of the wine that had been in an amphora, and a local vineyard was able to recreate it. Here's an article about the wines of Pompeii:

Cool. At Herculaneum you have many preserved this way, one of the reasons I like it better.

Herculaneum was quick, Pompeii was over the course of about 24 hours, before the the final blow.

Pompeii was slow cooked, Herculaneum was flash fried.
In all seriousness I think Pompeii was buried in ash but Herculaneum got the pyroclastic (sp) flow. Both are cool for us, not so much for them.

Herculaneum folks probably didn’t even know what hit them.
