The Bible has nothing to do with the Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD and when it erupted anyone who was still in the area died. The ash and rocks covered 65 acres and changed the coastline of Italy. Pompeii was buried for 2000 years before it was discovered and today some parts are buried.

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city, buried by a volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius Volcano in 79 AD. In 1748, archaeologists uncovered the city. The people in Pompeii did not have a chance to escape; the city had been quickly buried by volcanic ash. In 1748, archaeologists uncovered the city. When archaeologists dug out the city, they found bread still in the ovens that had been baking that day. Archaeologists learned a great deal from the ruins of this ancient city because it had been so well preserved. Mount Vesuvius is now dormant - that means that it hasn't erupted for a while, but it could still erupt. The last eruption was in 1944, and it is overdue for the next one. It is the only volcano on the European mainland that has erupted in the last 100 years.
The town was preserved by having been buried by volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted. Houses, street layouts, mosaics artifacts, tools and the like were found intact. Even the bodies of people in the position they were when people died were preserved.
