http://TotallyAmazingVideos.com -- One of the worst natural disasters in history, the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Buried the city of Pomeii in a hurry. Check this dude out.

During early excavations of Pompeii, occasional voids in the ash layer had been found that contained human remains. It was Fiorelli who realized these were spaces left by the decomposed bodies and so devised the technique of injecting plaster into them to perfectly recreate the forms of Vesuvius's victims.

What resulted were highly accurate and eerie forms of the doomed Pompeiani who failed to escape, in their last moment of life, with the expression of terror often quite clearly visible. This technique is still in use today, with resin now used instead of plaster because it is more durable, and does not destroy the bones, allowing further analysis.

  • poor guy, he died jerkin off

  • @JesusChristMuslim cool bro, get your head out of your thousand year old book, kk.

  • @JesusChristMuslim lol what is god, baby dont hurt me

  • When people have S-E-X with animals, and in front of their children, then expect God's punishment to be SWIFT, SUDDEN, and PAINFUL.

    This is what is happening to Europeans. You LOVE prostitutes and being "S-T-U-D-S" under the fake cover of ONE-WIFE policy.

    Europeans are paying for this now by being uprooted from the Earth. Your White birth rate in France hit 0.7 and Russian is being depopulated.

    You people are castrating yourselves under the guise of SEXUAL FREEDOM.

    You are punished.

  • @JesusChristMuslim what a fucking idiot...

  • @JesusChristMuslim No this was a naturally occuring event. No one was being punished for anything.

  • look at the dislike bar...now u no wut justin biebers dick looks like..he doesnt have 1

  • This is the punishment for sexual sins ....

    And regrettably, the Vatican picked up where the people of Pompeii have left off ...

  • i feel so sad for him her teeths are a proofe that he was feeling a horrible pain he burns alive.
