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.
