After the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, an estimated 4 to 6 million tons of volcanic debris, including ash, pumice, and volcanic gases, were ejected. This material buried the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and other nearby areas under several meters of ash and pumice, preserving them for centuries. The thick layer of debris contributed to the rapid entombment of these sites, which were later rediscovered and excavated, providing valuable insights into ancient Roman life.
