∙ 15y agoPompeii was buried as a result of a two day eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, and accidentally rediscovered in 1748. It seems that excavations have been going on since the 1750's through the 1860's... so at least more than 100 years. So the answer is that Pompeii was buried for approximately 1700 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeii

When did Pompeii vanish?
Pompeii was buried in 79 AD. People still knew it was there, as evidenced by the archaeological conclusions that home owners sent their slaves back to try to dig out the houses and to recover items and the evidence of looting and looters' tunnels. When these efforts were abandoned the site was allowed to grow over. So it was quite a few years before the city was forgotten.
