They could have placed the funnel anywhere else in the illustration, but they chose not to.

It's probably the best place for funnel insertion at the end of the day. A hole left behind there is appropriate, you don't want to mess with any details you might get from the face, and it's way funnier this way.
-
Is boofing or butt-chugging the more accurate term when it comes to molding plaster?
-
You've got a high anus, a real tall boy.

Turns out, after all this time, sadam just wanted to butt chug plaster
-
Well he fucked that up then.

Wow! I didn’t know they were casts. I thought we found the remains as presented.
-
I've seen them. Also up the road at Herculaneum the dock buildings are full of skeletons all huddled together.
It's really haunting.
-
More or less so when you realize how many were slaves.

The only thing I question is why the artist who drew the illustration of the molds being filled choose to put the funnel in the body cavity's asshole.
-
To make it look as uncomfortable as it seems.

Alternate caption:
Most people dont know that boofing was actually invented by archaeologists researching Pompeii. Justice Kavanaugh was unavailable for comment.
-
It'll always be plugging to me.
Also, why does the article only talk about alcohol? Seems like a huge oversight, given how easy it is to rectally absorb other stuff besides liquid.
Like ecstasy.

When I first started reading this I was thinking it would end up being some Pompeii didn’t happen denial craziness ha

Luckily this isn’t xitter or facebook

DIY fossilization

What happened to the bones? How did they know there was a body there?
-
In the article someone linked below I found this section :
Archaeologists preserved the newly discovered remains using a variation of a technique developed by Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli in 1863. The process involves pouring liquid chalk into cavities left by decomposing bodies; this plaster fills gaps in preserved bones and teeth, creating a cast of the bodies as they looked at the moment of death.
So you find a cavity with bones and other remains in there and use it as a mold I suppose? They probably were excavating the city from the ash cover and when they found something that could be remains of a human they stopped digging and used said techniques to preserve the remains.
-
The bones are inside the cast. They found the cavities during excavation.
-
They ordered a boneless pizza

Sometimes it’s nice to ask questions to promote discussion
-
Asking is a method of looking for answers
-
Sure, but that's the "social" part of social media. Without discussions like this, we're just left with Karens complaining and politics.
-
Why are you even here if that's your attitude?
-
"Almost certainly" means that you are not sure. You could make sure by looking for them, but instead you chose to complain on social media.
-
-
Ah yes. Why bother posting anything in the first place?
-
-
-
This has to be added to the meme collage of Sadam and digging for diamonds etc.
-
Why is the funnel in his arse. Why was that artistic choice made.
-
If it fits?
-
Clearly ascribing to 'a hole's a hole'
-
-
-
This suggests to me there there might be bones inside the plaster?
-
There are! The mix they used destroyed a lot of it, but you can find online many x-rays that show where the bones really are.
-
Well that answers my question about whether today's archeologists would have done the same thing: nope.

Preserving preserved history.

-
Was it a matter of some good timing that these casts were able to be made? That is, with enough time, wouldn't the voids/cavities themselves likely collapse with the gradual shifting of the soil?
