Förlagets beskrivning
A riveting photo-essay about the archaeological excavation of Pompeii and Herculaneum! In the year A.D. 79, an eruption of Mount Vesuvius effectively wiped out several towns, including Pompeii and Herculaneum. Hundreds of years later these towns began to be rediscovered--not only their houses and art, but also their citizens. Excavators were able to cast plaster molds in air pockets formed by bodies encased in lava and hardened ash. The resulting "mummies" not only capture the human tragedy of Vesuvius's eruption, but provide valuable evidence about life, and death, in ancient Italy
