Pompeii was buried in 79 AD. People still knew it was there, as evidenced by the archaeological conclusions that home owners sent their slaves back to try to dig out the houses and to recover items and the evidence of looting and looters' tunnels. When these efforts were abandoned the site was allowed to grow over. So it was quite a few years before the city was forgotten.

When did the citizens of Pompeii vanish?

They vanished in 79 A.D. because of Mnt. Vesuvius erupting over Pompeii. Houses were buried and many died, almost EVERYBODY died! Actually, I DO think everybody died. 400 years later, man-kind was reunited on Pompeii. But not called "Pompeii" anymore, the citizens discovered Pompeii. Then dug up the molded thousands of dead bodies, later, about 200 years later. They were put up on display. Many tourists come around to see the many bodies. Hope this answered your question!
