    1. wow, it’s crazy to see something from so long ago! i never thought i’d find old bread so fascinating.

    2. Hadn’t seen that before; thanks for sharing. I like that you can immediately guess that this may have been intended to be sold by the slice, or otherwise cutting bread was a pain (heh).

    3. Why did the archaeologist break up with his girlfriend in Pompeii?

      Because she was frozen in the past!
