In 79 AD , Mount Vesuvius erupted, spewing volcanic rock and deadly gas into the air.

The residents of Pompeii , a nearby city, were covered in ash and burned to death.

In the late 19th century , archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli developed a method to create casts of several victims.

Modern cast restoration efforts have revealed the falsity of these assumptions as researchers found bone fragments within the plaster that contained DNA.
