Pompeii was lost after an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD and it sat buried until it was found and uncovered. It is made up of 65 acres and there are still areas that are buried. Time stopped that day in 79 AD leaving historians and visitors a view of life in the ancient city of Pompeii and Italy.

Was Pompeii erupted?

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.
