Pompeii is an Italian town, not far from Naples. It sits at the foothill of Mt.Vesuvius, which erupted in AD79 and completely demolished the town of Pompeii. The town was covered in a layer of ash and pyroclastic flow and many lives were lost. Many years later, the bodies of the victims were preserved in the ash after Fiorelli, an archaeologist used a special technique to preserve the bodies using plaster. Pompeii is now a thriving historical site that attracts many visitors each year.

They vanished in 79 A.D. because of Mnt. Vesuvius erupting over Pompeii. Houses were buried and many died, almost EVERYBODY died! Actually, I DO think everybody died. 400 years later, man-kind was reunited on Pompeii. But not called "Pompeii" anymore, the citizens discovered Pompeii. Then dug up the molded thousands of dead bodies, later, about 200 years later. They were put up on display. Many tourists come around to see the many bodies. Hope this answered your question!
