ABOUT POMPEII


We have already read about Pompeii, and the horrible disaster that distroyed the city many years ago, but How did it happen? Why all people died?...Here, i am going to tell you some details that i discovered there:

Well, we know that The Vesuvius erupted , throwing tons of molten rock...now Why people didn`t entered to their houses to be safe? actually, they did it!! but they made the mistake of built their houses whith wooden ceiling, so all the hot ash burnt and crossed them.

By all means, rich people used to have kind of basements, in which they got in to be saved; desafortunatelly, whith all the ash, arrived volcanic gases that covered all the small places in there...

Now we can see only ruins remainding us that in this place were an beatiful culture, whith great scientific advances, and a society structure that wasn`t very far from ours.

sumo wrestling

Last week I watched a very interesting-amazing-and really good tv programm about sumo fights which explains you how important is the food for sumo learners? And reserchers said that sumo kids need medical treatments because as we know they are very fat young people and sometimes have cholesterol and heart problems. On the other hand over 90% of japanese population have an specific world-famous sumo wrestler and this is very amusing because all the time we guess that japanese culture is pretty hard and children dont have enough time to relax themselves.In addition sumo learners eat around 8000 calories each day thats why they dont live many years. Sumo`s life average is around 20 years after they began practising this sport. Im not against this sport but I think that probably this lifestyle is not the best way to show your strenght.
