Until the 1800's it was completely buried under 65 feet of ash and debris from the eruption. No one went there. Today you can visit the site and see how people lived.

What did people who stayed in the city do to try and survive the eruption in the story Pompeii by Edgar Allan Poe?
Pompeii is not a story, it is a real event. All they could do was hide and wait to see what unfolded. Pompey is a character in a humorous short story 'A Predicament' by Edgar Allan Poe, but it has nothing to do with Pompeii.

What has been happening in the pompeii ruins?
Pompeii is still an archeological dig and is open for visitors. I was there in 05 and my big surprise was that I had to walk up hill in a tunnel to the ruins. The eruption dumped 65 feet of ash and rocks and that means the ground level today is below the Pompeii level. Not all of Pompeii is uncovered, but the city was large and the things you see today show you what life was like in 79 AD. Murals on walls of the villas are still as vibrant and colorful as they were when the eruption happened. If you live in California the Getty villa in Santa Monica is an exact copy of a Pompeii villa that is a museum of ancient art. It is free to visit and Getty copied it down to the plants that were found in Pompeii. It is worth a visit if you can get there.
Could the destruction of Pompeii have been caused by the goth attack on rome?
No. Pompeii happened in 79 AD the attack on Rome in 410 AD so the two are not related in any form. Pompeii was buried by a volcanic eruption ( parts are still buried today since it comprises of 65 acres) and there is historical proof that is what happened to the city. Not only are there eyewitness accounts and the ruins of the people/city for historians to see but the volcano is still there and active. The last eruption was in the 1940's.
What is the ancient city in Europe?
In 79 AD the city of Pompeii Italy was buried by a volcanic eruption. Over 65 acres were buried in a matter of minutes and it stayed covered for several hundred years when it was found. Today, you can walk the streets of Pompeii and see how people lived in 79 AD. It is a wonderful place to see and experience. I was there in 05.
What type of shelter do they have in Pompeii?
Pompeii was a city of several thousand people before it was buried. The buildings you see today are made of stone and the wooden roofs or buildings all burned in the eruption. Inside the building the art on the walls can still be seen and the colors are still vivid. It is amazing. I was there 6 years ago and barely got to see the whole city, but what I did see was worth the trip.
