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.

Archaeologists Found A Thracian Carriage With Two Horses Buried Upright
It is difficult to see, but this is how they did things in ancient Bulgaria! Archaeologists found a whole carriage attached to the skeletons of two entire horses in a northeastern Bulgarian village called Svestari. The carriage came with 4 wheels, seats, and boot. There is reason to believe that they were owned by a Thracian noble. The horses must have been led through some narrow hole and had to be put out of their misery. This discovery is truly one of its kind. After all, it sounds highly unlikely that they will find anything better preserved than this incredible finding.
