Uncover Rome's 2000-Year-Old 'Trash Mountain' Monte Testaccio

• Forget Delhi's Ghazipur landfill; discover Monte Testaccio, a 2000-year-old 'mountain of trash' in Rome, Italy.
• This hill, near the River Tiber, is not natural but composed of an estimated 53 million broken clay jars (Amphorae) used for olive oil transport.
• Roman engineers systematically stacked these non-reusable, oil-soaked pots, sprinkling lime to prevent decay, creating a 35-meter high, one-kilometer circumference mound.
• The pots bear seals and inscriptions detailing oil weight, origin, and exporter, providing invaluable insights into the Roman Empire's economy and trade.
