In 1864, the workers, who were ordered by Giuseppe Fiorelli &#8211; then the director of excavations in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-geography\/roman-cities\/pompeii\/\">Pompeii<\/a> &#8211; to inform him about everything, noticed a skeleton lying in one of the alleys. Only the skull was excavated &#8211; the body and <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-society\/clothing-in-ancient-rome\/\">clothes<\/a> decomposed, leaving the bones in the empty space, limited by petrified ash. Fiorelli came to the conclusion that pouring liquid stucco through a small hole into this space, it would recreate the shape of the body. Through a small hole, he poured stucco plaster, which filled the entire empty space. After setting the plaster, he removed the layer of ash, revealing casts of bodies, objects, building elements, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40017,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorie_ciekawostek":[92],"class_list":["post-80738","ciekawostki","type-ciekawostki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie_ciekawostek-reconstructions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/80738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ciekawostki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/80738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_ciekawostek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_ciekawostek?post=80738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
