I’ve been there, it’s really fascinating how some of the bodies were solidified including a pregnant woman 😢

I've been there. May of 2025, my birthday week. It's a beautiful city, despite its ruinous state. Walking through its streets helps you visualize what it was to be alive 2000 years ago. It's basically time travel. I advise anyone to visit.

Kiwozzie, Mind too,if they had a warning I hope some heed the warning and got out of the city. Having comfort and nice things is not worth your life. Things can be replaced people can not.
