Pompeii: 2006

Scientists forgot to look here until just recently

Indonesia seems like the place to be these days if you’re a scientist looking to make nifty discoveries. Fresh on the heels of the group that found a lost world of bizarre new plants and animals, researchers from the University of North Carolina – Wilmington have discovered the remnants of a lost civilization that was wiped out in 1815 by the largest volcano eruption in recorded history.

I wonder what else Indonesia is hiding.
