Aries, April 13. Born on this day try to resolve their conflicts with the outside world through hard work.
The brightest personalities who were born on this day are often forced to act as pioneers, making their way in the wilds of society, but at the same time looking for a place to rest where they can have a good rest.
Strong and self-sufficient people, they are able to work alone, and their work may not receive public recognition for years. Ultimately, if they do succeed, they manage to get others to not only appreciate the importance of their radical ideas, but also to unconditionally accept them into action.
In case of failure, they painfully experience a feeling of infringed dignity, but nevertheless continue to follow the course they have taken, regardless of public opinion.
More ordinary people tend to deny the innate talent for individual innovative creativity and most often take the position of the offended.

Main event
During the excavations of Pompeii, treasure hills were found
April 13, 1895
However, excavations of the city began only in the middle of the 18th century, and they acquired a systematic character in the second half of the 19th century.
On April 13, 1895, during the excavation of Pompeii, a skeleton was found, with the light hand of someone nicknamed "the ancient stingy knight." However, it was impossible to come up with a more accurate nickname: the skeleton was found lying among the mountain of treasures ... There were also magnificent bracelets, rings, gold chains, a silver table set of 108 items, including cups, bowls, plates, spoons and even sifters.
More than a thousand gold coins of incredible numismatic value sparkled, just as they were minted. In general, the craftsmanship of making these jewelry was amazing.
The treasures were secretly sold to the French Rothschilds. But, as often happens, one of the dealers who warmed their hands on the deal, let out a spill. As a result, a scandal broke out, but the Italian authorities were already powerless to regain their values. All these treasures were in the Louvre.
Holidays
Rock and Roll Day
Every year on April 13, World Rock'n'roll Day is celebrated - a celebration of like-minded people, for whom rock'n'roll has become not only music, but a lifestyle.
The historic event, which served as the basis for the holiday, happened a day earlier: April 12, 1954, Bill Haley recorded the single "Rock Around The Clock", which became a landmark in the new musical direction, which quickly overcame the borders of the USA and challenge traditions.
In the middle of the 20th century, shortly after the Second World War, people sought rest and regular life. Shocks no one wanted. The music of that period was a reflection of the public mood - calm and sentimental, with a sweet vocal. At the official musical Olympus of the USA, the idea to create a respectable American image was advanced. Along with official music, there was a completely different life in America - loud, rhythmic, full of life - rhythm-and-blues.
One evening, Cleveland radio station DJ Alan Fried, took an idea to scroll through the rhythm-and-blues recordings. And in order not to shock the “white” public, he invented a different name for this - “rock and roll”. Thanks to Alan Fried, disguised rhythm-and-blues sounded in full force, becoming accessible to all, regardless of skin color.
Rock and roll gave the world such wonderful performers as Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley, Karl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino. Despite persecution and oppression, the incendiary genre was very popular and beloved among fans of various ages and social levels for many years.
Today, rock music has many directions: from light dancing rock and roll to a brutal aggressive grind-core. Lyrics range from laid-back and humorous to dark, deep and philosophical. Often, rock music is opposed to pop music, although there is no clear boundary between the concepts of "rock" and "pop". Many musical phenomena balance on the edge between them.
