The discovery of the skeletons shows "how much there is still to discover about the terrible eruption of 79 AD," Italian Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said in a statement. "Modern excavation techniques help us better understand the hell that completely destroyed the city of Pompeii in two days and killed many inhabitants," said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the German director of the archaeological site.
