There are only molds of the people and animals that were left in the volcanic ash. No bodies exist. Bones have been found and they show a 900 degree heat.
The dead bodies in Pompeii were preserved by the volcanic ash and pumice that covered the city when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. The ash quickly cooled and solidified around the bodies, creating casts of the victims when the bodies decomposed.
The casts of the bodies from Pompeii were created by pouring a mixture of plaster and liquid into the cavities left by the decomposed bodies in the volcanic ash. Once the plaster set and hardened, the ash was carefully chipped away to reveal the casts of the victims in their final moments.
The Incas practiced mummification and burial in tombs or caves. The mummified bodies were often placed in a seated position, with their belongings and offerings accompanying them. These burials were typically reserved for nobles, while commoners were often buried in simple graves or caves.
The dead bodies of those who died on the First Fleet were usually buried at sea. This was a common practice on long sea voyages to prevent the spread of disease and decomposition onboard.
The city is off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Most of the houses or buildings in Pompeii were made of stone
The town of Pompeii was totally destroyed there was ash and dead bodies everywhere.
They vanished in 79 A.D. because of Mnt. Vesuvius erupting over Pompeii. Houses were buried and many died, almost EVERYBODY died! Actually, I DO think everybody died. 400 years later, man-kind was reunited on Pompeii. But not called "Pompeii" anymore, the citizens discovered Pompeii. Then dug up the molded thousands of dead bodies, later, about 200 years later. They were put up on display. Many tourists come around to see the many bodies. Hope this answered your question!
The volcanic ash coated some of the bodies like a shell. Scientists forced plaster into these shells thereby getting a lifelike statue.
The bodies were not stone, but they had been covered in ash which then hardened, creating hallows where the bodies were. The people who uncovered Pompeii poured plaster into the holes creating plaster casts.
Some casts of the dead are kept on display in Pompeii. The rest are kept in storage and I believe that some are are located in the Naples Archaeology Museum.
no-one knows
Dead Bodies. The pyramids protected the dead bodies.
Embalmers mummifies the dead bodies.
Dead Bodies. The pyramids protected the dead bodies.
A mortician or funeral director typically prepares dead bodies for burial or cremation. This process involves embalming, cosmetic restoration, dressing, and other body preparation procedures.
Hopefully...yeah! otherwise they wouldn't call it DEAD BODIES if it wasnt really DEAD!
