Pompeii

Misenium was a Roman port near the northwest end of the Bay of Naples.

nce there lived a dog. He was very greedy. There were many times that he had to pay for his greed. Each time the dog promised himself, "I have learnt my lesson. Now I will never be greedy again." But he soon forgot his promises and was as greedy as ever.

One afternoon, the dog was terribly hungry. He decided to go look for something to eat. Just outside his house, there was a bridge. "I will go and look for food on the other side of the bridge. The food there is definitely better," he thought to himself.

He walked across the wooden bridge and started sniffing around for food. Suddenly, he spotted a bone lying at a distance. "Ah, I am in luck. This looks a delicious bone," he said.

Without wasting any time, the hungry dog picked up the bone and was just about to eat it, when he thought, "Somebody might see here with this bone and then I will have to share it with them. So, I had better go home and eat it." Holding the bone in his mouth, he ran towards his house.

While crossing the wooden bridge, the dog looked down into the river. There he saw his own reflection. The foolish dog mistook it for another dog. "There is another dog in the water with bone in its mouth," he thought. Greedy, as he was, he thought, "How nice it would be to snatch that piece of bone as well. Then, I will have two bones."

So, the greedy dog looked at his reflection and growled. The reflection growled back, too. This made the dog angry. He looked down at his reflection and barked, "Woof! Woof!" As he opened his mouth, the bone in his mouth fell into the river. It was only when the water splashed that the greedy dog realized that what he had seen was nothing but his own reflections and not another dog. But it was too late. He had lost the piece of bone because of his greed. Now he had to go hungry.

Moral:

Greed brings about disaster.

No. They don't even mention her in person or in a story arc. The Fires of Pompeii is just a regular episode of Doctor Who.

She isn't in it but she is sort of mentioned when Lucius Petrus Dextrus tells the Doctor "she is returning" meaning Rose coming back from the parallel world.

The city of Pompeii, which was buried by a tremendous volcanic eruption from Mt Vesuvius in August of the year AD 79, was rediscovered in 1748.

At the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 of the Common Era, Vesuvius was largely a vacation spot on the Gulf of Naples for wealthy Roman landowners who had numerous villas in the area. Although the eruption killed all inhabitants in area and surrounding regions and was mentioned in Pliny's writing, the buried city became "lost" to history until 1749 when it was rediscovered by the Spanish engineer Joaquin de Alcubierre. The area around Pompeii was agriculturally rich and the citizens who owned farms became wealthy. Much of the produce was last to commerce. Rome, itself, essentially lost its vacation spot but continued to prosper and grow into the vast Roman Empire. Excavations since have determined that the citizenry of the cities, Pompeii and Herculaneum died from intense heat (482-degrees Fahrenheit) rather than ash. The recovered remains of the cities have provided historians, art historians, sociologists and anthropologists with considerable information about daily life in one of Rome's most prosperous "colonies."

pompeii was destroyed by a volcano, so before it erupted ash started to snow down. It wasn't rain it was ash. I think it might have been hot.

My family traveled to Italy a few years ago and we bought all of our passes online ahead. Save lots of $

Pompeii was destroyed by fire in 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius explored. The city remain buried and not discovered for 1,700 years.

There was a very severe earthquake in the bay of Naples which particularly effected Pompeii. A considerable amount of damage was done to the town and when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD a lot of the damaged buildings were still to be repaired.

Naples is the closest city to the ruins of Pompeii.

The dense cloud of ash as well as the pyroclastic flows of hot and toxic gasses caused the suffocation in Pompeii.

Andreas Solope III...We don't know who founded Pompeii. All we know is that Pompeii was founded by a group of Oscan speaking people.

Unfortunately, none that are in recorded history, except for the young man who survived name Pliny, who became the world's first Volcanologist.

No one..

Naples

Experts think that around 20,000 could have escaped, which is about 90% of the population. There are many that survived and it is very difficult to find the names of a few survivors, let alone this many.

It is a bit of preserved history that was buried and found. It is like walking back in time. The people who lived there in 79AD would recognize the city.

One and Half hours. roughly 85 km.

This question makes no sense.

Pompeii is the famous city that was covered by volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

Pompei is the modern city founded in 1891 near the site of the ancient ruins.

No, they aren't. The activity of the volcano is constantly checked by measuring equipment. If it wakes the people who control it will know instantly and the people living in the neighbourhood will be warned immediately and, if necessary, evacuated.

Amendment

That's the theory. However the volcano threatens not just a few small towns (Pompeii and Herculanium) but a modern mega-city with many million inhabitants. A very large eruption with pyroclastic flow occurs approximately every 1500 years. It is long overdue for another.

The Italian state is not good at planning for such eventualities. Even if there is a reasonable period of warning (by no means certain) it is unlikely the city of Naples could be evacuated. Many millions of people may die.

In the same area at the Campi Flegrei there are signs another volcano, of the type that grumbles in Yellowstone may be getting ready to blow. That one could devastate much of Europe.

Sleep well.
