The casts of what are believed to have been a rich man and his male slave fleeing the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago, are seen in what was an elegant villa on the outskirts of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii destroyed by the eruption in 79 A.D., where they were discovered during recents excavations, Pompeii archaeological park officials said Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020.
The remains of the two victims, lying next to each other on their backs, were found in a layer of gray ash at least 2 meters deep, they said. Judging by cranial bones and teeth, one of the men was young, likely aged 18 to 25, with a spinal column with compressed discs. That finding led archaeologists to hypothesize that he was a young man who did manual labor, like that of a slave.
Why predict a slave? It could have been his son, another relative, a co-worker, or a friend. Was it not normal back then for an average man to do significant manual labor?
This seems like it's foreshadowing

Things you can learn from the comments section: 1) 75% of people only read headlines and look at pictures 2) The same people ask dumb-ass questions 3) Some people will do anything to find an angle to be offended
History will say they’re friends
Most ridiculous headline i’ve ever seen.
I wish you would reconsider the title of this piece . “A rich man and his slave,” is a really dehumanizing way to state this. I think you can do better.
When will the riots and “peaceful protests” start to denounce this 2,000 year old slave owner?
So the rich guys the one wearing underwear?
Imagine being caught wanking 2000 years later. The shame.

Man. Lots of people commenting with gusto that didn’t read the article 🤔
The great equalizer
Sure it's a slave and not his lover? They had gay couples back then, too, ya know...

LateNightSeth AndySamberg his doink!
When death comes for me, I wanna go like this guy.
Did I really need to see this?
Clearly shows that being rich or poor doesn’t matter on our final moments!
Why are the genitals on right so pronounced?
Rich man and the person he enslaved NOT 'his male slave' give him some respect.
The skeletal remains of two men were found, and evidence suggests that a rich man oppressed and enslaved the other. Why does the headline dehumunize the man who was enslaved and refer to him only as a possession?
not sure how you came to that conclusion just by looking at a fossilized corpse
Bodies of Two Men....
Trump and Pence 2020
Hopefully one is in hell
👀'A man and his slave'..? Is the slave not a man, too? I literally hate everything and everyone right now.
A thought it was Cummings and rose Vader Ginsburg.... 😂😂😂
always the hierarchy but what if it was 2 men hugging in a fatal embrace boom nuff said death is great equalizer
Could also be the first record of a bicycle kick
You should have waited to withhold this information until their relatives were contacted.
Wait till these children grow up and you will see what I*S*I*S has prepared for the coming days👌
These guys must have been dead before they hit the floor. Surrounded by ash one would have rolled on stomach to protect their face. At least it was quick for them.
There's not much to read which one is the rich guy? I assume it's the fat one with his legs apart and you can't see his weiner
Death is the almighty equalizer
His “slave” huh
Guy on the. right looks like his penis is still attached. 😹😹
ok, I'll bite. How do they assume he's a slave?
A valuable find for archeology.
aahhh they broke his hard on off
I'm thinking of BlazingSaddles
slave.. it was probably the man's lover.
Not an archeologist but... looks like the slave was white
How did they know it was a rich man and a slave?
i hope thats a chastity belt
What in the world were they doing? Why are the naked? Did they’re clothes get burned off?
who cut the guy's dick off?
Fascinating!
Who did they vote for in the 2020 Election?

How do you know what the preferred pronouns were? Ze-shh.
I hope that slave was mid-flying kick into his masters head when he went out. 👏🏻
Rekt
Wow! Looks like penises were way smaller back then. Who knew? 🤷
10,000 degrees causes shrinkage.
So you copy BBCWorld and how did you get to know of king and slave story... Bbc posted these ages ago
Illustrates a beautiful fact, in the end, everyone is top soil! 🙂
“An enslaved man and his rich oppressor” maybe
How do they know one was a slave?
did you just assume their gender
