Next up is a picture of the main square of the town looking at the volcano that destroyed the town. The next picture is of a plaster cast of a man that was buried then killed in the ash, when people were digging up the town they would stumble upon cavity's in the ground and they filled them with plaster and they turned out to be the spaces were people were.
