What was found at the site of Pompeii?

I'm sure it was loads of bodies covered in ash almost frozen in a moment of history, some were even preserved this way in cowering positions as they knew that the volcano was going to hit......

At the site-they found many, many "pockets" or "holes" underneath almost 6 feet of ash. At first they believed they were just "air pockets" or "bubbles" that formed because the ash fell so quickly and heavily-BUT- they went to fill in these pockets with cement (so tourists would not fall into "sink-holes") and when the cement dried-somehow the archaeologists saw that the "holes" were actually shaped like bodies-ALL OF THEM! They then learned that the people of Pompeii had NOT escaped in time as originally thought-they had been buried alive.

The ash fell and buried them-then the ash hardened around the bodies-then the bodies decomposed and the ash chemicals ate the bones-so all that was left were human shaped "pockets" in the sediment-which you would never know WERE from humans untill you go ti fill it up and the shapes that come out look like people!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
