Every one thought pompeii was just a poor town that got distoryed by a valcanoe in the Roman Empire. But what I found out in my art history class was Pompeii was the Romans version of Vegas. I know it sounds stupid, but it is true.

No. The volcano (Vesuvius) buried Pompeii in ash and pumice. The people and animals died of suffocation from the dust and sulphurous fumes. The town did not burn and that is why so much of it is still preserved.
