Turns out, after all this time, sadam just wanted to butt chug plaster

Wow! I didn’t know they were casts. I thought we found the remains as presented.

I’ve seen them. Also up the road at Herculaneum the dock buildings are full of skeletons all huddled together.
It’s really haunting.

Most people didnt know that boofing was actually invented by archaeologists researching Pompeii.
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’ll always be plugging to me.
Also, why does the article only talk about alcohol? Seems like a huge oversight, given how easy it is to rectally absorb other stuff besides liquid.
Like ecstasy.

When I first started reading this I was thinking it would end up being some Pompeii didn’t happen denial craziness ha

What happened to the bones? How did they know there was a body there?

In the article OP linked I found this section :
Archaeologists preserved the newly discovered remains using a variation of a technique developed by Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli in 1863. The process involves pouring liquid chalk into cavities left by decomposing bodies; this plaster fills gaps in preserved bones and teeth, creating a cast of the bodies as they looked at the moment of death.
So you find a cavity with bones and other remains in there and use it as a mold I suppose? They probably were excavating the city from the ash cover and when they found something that could be remains of a human they stopped digging and used said techniques to preserve the remains.

The bones are inside the cast. They found the cavities during excavation.

Sometimes it’s nice to ask questions to promote discussion

Asking is a method of looking for answers
EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Sure, but that’s the “social” part of social media. Without discussions like this, we’re just left with Karens complaining and politics.
bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Then how about you make yourself useful and provide them with a resource?
mcz@lemmy.world 5 months ago
“Almost certainly” means that you are not sure. You could make sure by looking for them, but instead you chose to complain on social media.

Why are you even here if that’s your attitude?
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ah yes. Why bother posting anything in the first place?

This suggests to me there there might be bones inside the plaster?
optissima@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
There are! The mix they used destroyed a lot of it, but you can find online many x-rays that show where the bones really are.

Was it a matter of some good timing that these casts were able to be made? That is, with enough time, wouldn’t the voids/cavities themselves likely collapse with the gradual shifting of the soil?

They could have placed the funnel anywhere else in the illustration, but they chose not to.

Except for that one dude.
normalexit@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’s probably the best place for funnel insertion at the end of the day. A hole left behind there is appropriate, you don’t want to mess with any details you might get from the face, and it’s way funnier this way.

Is boofing or butt-chugging the more accurate term when it comes to molding plaster?
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You’ve got a high anus.
