When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 70 AD, all the ashes fell on the city of Pompeii preserving it. Most of the lower parts of buildings are still standing as well as all the corspes are very well preserved. Though, scientists have replaced the real corpses with plaster copies. Also, the ash covered the windows of the house, preserving everything that was inside. Inside these houses were many clues to how the Romans lived, and who was who.
