They could have placed the funnel anywhere else in the illustration, but they chose not to.
.Is there a reason left side specifically has to be on the surface?
Most people’s rectums angle slightly to the right. Please see a doctor if you have an atypical rectum.
No matter whether it’s left leaning or right leaning it’s still an asshole.

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.
Is boofing or butt-chugging the more accurate term when it comes to molding plaster?
You’ve got a high anus, a real tall boy.

Turns out, after all this time, sadam just wanted to butt chug plaster
Well he fucked that up then.
Wow! I didn’t know they were casts. I thought we found the remains as presented.
I’ve seen them. Also up the road at Herculaneum the dock buildings are full of skeletons all huddled together.
It’s really haunting.
More or less so when you realize how many were slaves.

When I first started reading this I was thinking it would end up being some Pompeii didn’t happen denial craziness ha

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.
They ordered a boneless pizza

Sometimes it’s nice to ask questions to promote discussion
Asking is a method of looking for answers
Sure, but that’s the “social” part of social media. Without discussions like this, we’re just left with Karens complaining and politics.
Why are you even here if that’s your attitude?
“Almost certainly” means that you are not sure. You could make sure by looking for them, but instead you chose to complain on social media.

You also could have done that, but you chose to get upset about me not doing it instead.

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.

Read the damn article before commenting.
You, 46 minutes ago. I guess wanting people to make a token effort instead of demanding to be spoon fed is only a problem when I do it.
Ah yes. Why bother posting anything in the first place?
This has to be added to the meme collage of Sadam and digging for diamonds etc.
Why is the funnel in his arse. Why was that artistic choice made.
If it fits?
Clearly ascribing to ‘a hole’s a hole’
This suggests to me there there might be bones inside the plaster?
There are! The mix they used destroyed a lot of it, but you can find online many x-rays that show where the bones really are.
Well that answers my question about whether today’s archeologists would have done the same thing: nope.
butt stuff
Preserving preserved history.

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?
