Pompeii was rediscovered in 1748, nearly 1,700 years after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The site had been buried under volcanic ash and pumice, which remarkably preserved many structures, artifacts, and even the remains of inhabitants. Initial excavations revealed the city's layout and provided valuable insights into Roman life.
