A group of American archaeologists excavating at the site of the ancient city of Pompeii discovered … the body of an actor from Hollywood, William Green, who disappeared in 1925. The famous film Ben Hur was being filmed at that time. Everything would be fine, but Professor Frank Romijn, under whose leadership the excavations are being carried out, reports that the remains of the actor were found under a layer of lava, which is about 19 centuries old. Not only that, William Green himself disappeared during the filming, which took place in California. So how did Green's body turn out to be thousands of kilometers from the place where he was last seen safe and sound. At first, skeptics said that the body did not belong to the famous actor at all, but a platinum bracelet on his arm with the actor's name, as well as information about the film studio, the film and the year of filming, fully confirmed that it was William Green.
Many pundits are simply lost in conjecture, trying to explain the mysterious appearance of Green's body under the Lava of Mount Vesuvius, which erupted in 79 AD. The media are also guessing, but they are all more like fairy tales. Some newspapers have already declared Mr. Romaine to be another hoaxer, trying to incriminate him that his photographs are simple forgeries, like the story with the discovered bracelet. But the scientist claims that a number of facts contradict the accusations of journalists.
The first argument of Frank Romaine is that Pompeii is a place that is guarded, so it is not possible to bring anything there, let alone a human corpse. Further, it was necessary to somehow try to bury the body to the required depth, which would require extraordinary efforts, as well as the presence of special equipment. After all, it is impossible to bury the body of a deceased at a depth of 6 meters without heavy equipment and several people, and even cover it with whole pieces of lava rock.
Film experts stated that actor Greene was involved in the filming of the chariot racing scene. They served as a stuntman. It was in this role that Green made a great impression on the directors. During these filming, the actor disappeared, but no one can remember any incidents with the actor himself. That is, the actor disappeared under very strange circumstances, as if, in the full sense, fell through the earth, disappearing in the light of the sun. Since Green did not have close relatives, no one was eager to search for him either. Therefore, the police declared the actor missing - period! After "Ben Hur" appeared on the screens about the loss of Green started talking, but again not for long. A couple of years later, this story was completely forgotten.
Professor Romaine believes that the Hollywood actor was absorbed by a certain force that led him through a time loop, causing not only the death of Green, but also his movement in time into the distant past.
