      Capt'n Joe what was his name, far as I can see it’s a face down skeleton so happened to be dug up. The graveyards are full of these examples, only a gravestone to preserve the name. What’s heroic is the short movie that moved you into a certain emotion of heroism. This was 100% assumed he didn’t steal all the coin in his purse. This skeleton lies in nameless oblivion, only to given an identity here on UA-cam.

    Here's a thought. The structures seem to be boathouses, but no boats were found in them. So maybe the boats were used to take the people of Herculaneum away in relays.
    The people on the beach were waiting for the boats to return. This man may have supervised the evacuation. When he heard the roar of the pyroclastic flow, he ordered everyone to take shelter, then turned around see if any boats were returning before taking shelter himself. He wouldn't have realized that he and all the other people would be dead seconds later, as the Romans at the time had never before experienced a volcano.

    • @Skatzz24
      @Skatzz24 7 років тому +57

      You're actually right, go and read about Pliny the Elder and Pliny the younger, these were two writers of ancient Rome who documented the Eruption of Vesuvius. Pliny the Elder was commanding rescue missions to Stabiae, (another town near to Pompeii and Herculaneum also affected by the erruoption) when the last pyroclastic surge hit and killed him. There were relays of ships going to both towns to take people away from the down-wind wake of the eruption!

      @raffaeleirlanda6966 6 років тому +12

      Actually it is been testimony by Pliny the Younger that coastline retreated (due to rising of the landmass during eruption I presume) and there was too much rough sea to land sailors or board any people of Herculaneum so the fleet had to follow the coast south to Stabiae, the only port remaining active and safe, where Pliny the Elder died being poisoned by breathing too much sulphur gases...

    • @shruggzdastr8-facedclown
      @shruggzdastr8-facedclown 6 років тому +4

      Kent Jeppsen: I agree with 95-99% of your observation but take slight issue with the very last portion of it -- the part about Romans not having experience with volcanoes before.
      The Mediterranean, being the locus where three major tectonic plates converge, interact and shape the iconic topographical features of that region, has been a geologically-, seismically- and volcanically-active area for eons. Most of that latter activity involves lesser volcanoes whose eruption cycles occur more-frequently (think Mt. Etna in Sicily), often a few times in an average human lifespan for a given such volcano; while, the eruption cycles of mega-volcanoes like Vesuvius (and the Yellowstone caldera here in the U.S.) feature dormancy periods which last much longer (often stretching for many centuries, millennia or even eons) between major eruption events -- intervals that can far surpass the collective memories of the natural history of a given location which people may have inhabited continuously for hundreds of generations. Calling Etna and other similar volcano like it in the region "lesser volcanoes" doesn't mean that their more-frequent eruption events aren't awesome and dangerous in their own right, it's just that the scale is so much more exponentially severe with regard to mega-volcanoes when they erupt -- kind of like the difference between a regular bomb blast and that of a hydrogen bomb (crude analogy, I know, but the best I could come up with). Over the several centuries that the Romans ruled the Mediterranean world, they most-certainly could have had experience with numerous eruptions from some of these lesser volcanoes like Etna, but the Vesuvius eruption was an exceptional event that they could never have anticipated preparing themselves for given just how rare such mega-eruptions are

    Muscle is meat. When meat is cooked, it contracts. What's most impressive about the soldier is that he met his fate standing -- not cowered in a corner like most of the victims of Mt. Vesuvius. The burns indicate both initial vigilance and bravery, but also that final human instinct to turn and survive. He died more fearless than the rest. I hope his remains continue to be studied and revered for as long as humans exist to do as much.

    Which is why pyroclastic flows and surges are more dangerous than lava. Lava moves slowly giving people enough time to get out of its path. Pyroclastic flows travel in excess of 100+mph and have a temperature of over 1200F destroying and burning everything in its path, humans and animals included. There is no escape and no building is safe. This Roman soldier was a man of honor, whoever he was.

    I believe he was there as part of his job, though it's possible he may have also been doing the honorable thing but trying to save lives. I also believe he was still alive as he was initially burning while face down as the pyroclastic flow went over him, and the hand 'grip' is actually from pain before death. Not from crawling, but pain. In other words he was knocked down by the pyroclastic flow or he fell. As it was moving over him burning him alive, he was gripping the soil in pain. Then, death came quick.

    I wonder why certain tragic events, out of all the tragic events throughout history, seem to capture our imagination: Vesuvius, the Titanic.

    • @morgant.dulaman8733
      @morgant.dulaman8733 Рік тому

      I think its because, as these things involve normal people caught up in their day-to-day lives, it's a way of looking how people handle meeting the end. Some go with the crowd till it devolves into panicked clawing, some survive and live with the horror, others must watch the last hope leave. Some even just choose to look for ways to enjoy themselves before everything goes black.
      Others prioritize those around. Fathers and mothers surrender their children to the care of others while they must stay behind. Some choose to stay so as not to deny others room. Some choose to spend their last moments with loved ones or comfort strangers. And some simply do their duty unto the end.
      It is humanity in a snapshot. When the mundane is suddenly torn asunder and human beings who were caught up in their routines with little care to the crowd around them suddenly must show their heart to all the world for one blaze of crisis.
