Ok, they might well be just a merchants accounts or such but amazing stuff none the less.

Using "light 10 billion times brighter than the sun" no less.👍

I'm hoping it turns out to be someone's stash of hedge porn that's been lost for centuries.

Or the lost scrolls of Epicyclius the famed Roman inventor whose name I have shamelessly stolen.

It will be the plans for his flying bicycle, and the last paragraph will be "...as soon as the smoke clears from Vesuvius, my slave Candencius Maximus will be able to fly with the gods. I hope they will not be angry."

"What tyres for pyroclastic flow?"
"Which size cart wheels"
"Sundials, n+1"
"This toga? Why yes, yes it is!"
"Mountain's been a bit smokey recently no?"
"Romesit, how did you vote? "

It's the thread list from Pompeitrackworld.com forum.

Unwanted marketing material from a local mosaic company?

House insurance application with the upgrade to "volcanic ash" cover ticked. But not yet sent off?

I was there last Monday, amazing place, and scary how many people still living in the danger zone today.

Indeed. When we went up Vesuvius, the guide told us there was no real evacuation plan for Naples because there's too many people to get out quickly, and in any case its never erupted in that direction before. 😳

It’s Pompeii, they had it painted on the walls, they didn’t need to have secret stashes!
Lols at tthew! 🤣
Isn’t there an old saying, ‘see Naples and die’; why yes, yes, you will!
