Best Answer

Pompeii 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.
