Ok, I’m no archaeologist, though I was an archaeology major for 1 semester, and I did skip the Naples/Pompeii trip during my travels in Italy. However, I do know a couple of things about Pompeii:
- Volcano exploded and a bunch of people died
- Doctor Who went there with Donna and didn’t save one single soul, you know because he can’t interfere and stuff
Now archaeologists in Sweden have discovered a massacre site from the 5th Century. There are a lot of skeletons. If you don’t believe me, watch this video.
Anyway, they are calling it Sweden’s Pompeii. But wait, there was no volcano and no Doctor Who. I mean, I guess there is the whole, something really horrible happened really fast frozen moment of time thing, but still, no lava, no David Tennant.
