Pompeii

Here I am as we enter the ruins of Pompeii. This place has all been uncovered after being dumped on by 6 meters of ash.

When the ash suddenly covered the town, people were instantly trapped by the ash. The ash hardened over time, creating molds where the people were when they died. They poured plaster into these molds to recreate what people looked like in their final moments long ago in Pompeii.

Here is a nice view of Pompeii with the mountains in the background.

Here is my professor, Dr. Ece Erdogmus. She is from UNO and was awesome on the trip! Definitely one of my favorite professors of all time!
