“Unbelievable Transformation: How a Mount Vesuvius Eruption Turned a Man’s Brain to Glass”
Based on previous studies of victims from the Dresden bombing of World War II, researchers noted, the textures are consistent with the “jelly-like” substances found among the bombing victims.
Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., launching volcanic lava, ash, and gas for almost 21 miles, reaching surrounding cities like Herculaneum and Pompeii.
In Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town not far from the foot of Mount Vesuvius, 300 people took shelter in boathouses near the waterfront. All of them suffered horrible deaths from the heat and ash of the explosion. Their bodies weren’t found until the 1980s.
