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

          Most people’s rectums angle slightly to the right. Please see a doctor if you have an atypical rectum.

      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.

        The best place would probably be the first place you found. The archeologist wouldn’t have any clue to the exact position the person was in and over digging could ruin the find

        The person making the illustration though knew what they were doing.

          I do wonder how they knew it was a person shaped cavity vs a plain old hole in the ground.

            Approximate placement I guess. Stonework would survive, wooden structures would collapse, human and animal remains would naturally form a curved cavity that’s relatively strong.

      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.

    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.

        Sure, but that’s the “social” part of social media. Without discussions like this, we’re just left with Karens complaining and politics.

              Okay, so you’re not upset, but still didn’t bother to find the answers for him.

              Let’s just say you did decide to answer him though, what would be the very first thing you step you’d take? Would it be “type those questions into a search engine”?

              I understand asking questions when answers might be complex or you’re actively involved in a conversation with someone knowledgeable, but I’m tired of this deliberate helplessness on social media.

      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?
