Question

7. How did the bodies in Herculaneum differ from those in Pompeii?

Answer 1

"Herculaneum like nearby Pompeii was buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79. The mud and lava that buried Herculaneum also preserved the bodies of the people for centuries. The mud and lava hardened luke concrete when it cooled. This preserved the bodies better than at Pompeii which was covered in hot ashes. I hope that this has been a help to you" ~ Yahoo answers.

Answer 2

Hundreds of casts of human and animal bodies survive in Pompeii. The way they were preserved is unique and gives an insight into the life and death of the city. The blast from the eruption incinerated most of the inhabitants of Herculaneum. In pompeii, although the 2000 inhabitants who did not escape the city were killed, the eruption preserved as well as destroyed. Hundred of bodies have been discovered since excavations of the city began.
