| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79826841 United States03/01/2021 12:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | (Take II) Roman chariot unearthed 'almost intact' near Pompeii [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] 50% The four-wheel processional chariot was missed by looters who tunneled by FOR 2 MILLENNIA!!! An ornate Roman chariot has been discovered "almost intact" near Italy's buried city of Pompeii, the archaeological park announced on Saturday, calling it a discovery with "no parallel" in the country. [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] The four-wheeled processional carriage was found in the portico to stables where the remains of three horses were unearthed in 2018, including one still in its harness. Pompeii was buried in boiling lava when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, killing between 2,000 and 30,000 people. [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] "A large ceremonial chariot with four wheels, along with its iron components, beautiful bronze and tin decorations, mineralised wood remains and imprints of organic materials (from the ropes to the remains of floral decoration), has been discovered almost intact," a statement issued by the archaeological park said. [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] "This is an exceptional discovery... which has no parallel in Italy thus far—in an excellent state of preservation." The excavation site is known as the Civita Giuliana, a suburban villa that lies just a few hundred metres from the ancient city of Pompeii. [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] The excavation is part of a programme aimed at fighting illegal activity in the area, including tunnel digging to reach artefacts that can be sold on illicit markets. Looters missed the room where the chariot had lain for almost 2,000 years, tunnelling by on both sides, the park's statement said. ============================= Other HALF of article here: [link to phys.org (secure)] |

That's a really weird thing to put on a chariot. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79919316 It's not another guy, it's a woman. Part of another article (BBC/UK, I believe) stated that it was a "semi-erotic" ornamnetation (Pompeii, d'uh) of a man caressing a woman's face. She is wearing a dress of some sort (I think) and she has an "anklet" on, above her shoes! |

It was a massive prostitution town/resort. They had little cubicles right on the streets with a stone bed inside for "quickies" and erotic artwork on the walls of each. People act like it's bad today but it was nothing compared to the old times. Rape was allowed and even encouraged. Age of consent wasn't even a thing. |

The dark side of human nature has been the rule, not the exception. With decadence increasing at an exponential rate in today's Western culture, the old is new again. |

I'd be more impressed with a 2000 year old, actually intact wood and all, chariot that was never buried in hot ash. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76950892 They JUST discovered it a month ago and are PAINSTAKINGLY REMOVING EVERY KERNAL OF SOOT, SOIL AND ASH which nearly petrified onto it and u are complaining?!?!?! All they've ever discovered prior to this where small parts of wheels and floorboards, etc. This being NEARLY intact is a major find! |
