Carbonized Bread With Baker’s Stamp Survived The Vesuvius Eruption

It is common knowledge that Pompeii suffered destruction when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. The thick blanket of ash helped preserved a lot of people, homes, and artifacts, however. It is quite shocking to hear that so much stuff survived a burst of this kind. Take a look at this entire loaf of baked bread! The dense and round fresh loaf of bread has been cut into 8 individual pieces and comes with a baker’s stamp saying “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus.” Honestly, it boggles the mind that a remnant of a tragic past has made it to the present! We don’t recommend tasting it, though.

This was discovered in the woods close to the California State University, Monterey Bay. The truth was that a college student by the name of Jeff placed the instrument around the tree.

Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia. He had been posted in the Middle East in 1917 when he started to topple the trains serving the Ottoman supply chain with a crew of Arabs. When the war came to a close, they had destroyed so much railroad and trains that they could no longer be used. Instead of moving the vacated trains, the Turkish people just abandoned them there.
