Pompeii

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people and leaving the city preserved under layers of volcanic ash. The event had a profound impact on the local environment, with forests destroyed, farmland buried, and a new landscape created by the volcanic deposits. It also led to long-term consequences for the residents, with the city largely abandoned and forgotten until its rediscovery centuries later.

Besides Pompeii and Herculaneum, the towns of Stabiae and Oplontis were also destroyed. Stabiae was a resort city and Oplontis was a hish class suburb of Pompeii. The town of Nuceria may also have suffered some damage.

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.

Mount Vesuvius is a volcano in the Gulf of Naples, Its relative location is between Pompeii and Herculaneum, towards the coast of Italy.

Pompeii was not a city where wealthy people went. It was an average, working, Roman town. Not to say that there were not wealthy people living in Pompeii, there were, just as in any other city, but they were generally the people who made their wealth in Pompeii and so belonged to the city's upper class. The wealthy went to the city of Herculaneum or to Stabiae or Oplontis, which were resort towns.

Alot of the animals got away before it erupted because animals have heightened senses for some things than humans and they could sense something bad was going to happen. That was kind of a sign for the humans as well because they saw alot of the animals fleeing. but although some animals managed to flee, alot still got trapped by the lava and ash and there are shells of the animals in the ruins of pompeii.

The animals were entombed in ash, debris and pumice, therefore DYING.

The statues of the dead people in Pompeii were made by pouring liquid plaster into the cavities left by their decayed bodies. This process created detailed casts that preserved the final poses and expressions of the victims at the moment of their deaths during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

People lived in Pompeii for the same reasons that people live in the area today--it was their home. In ancient times the volcano had not erupted within anyone's memory so the area was considered safe.

The artifacts at Pompeii should be carefully preserved and protected as they are links to our past and our Western heritage. Unfortunately, lack of funding, or in some cases, possible misuse of the funding available for Pompeii's preservation, have resulted in the recent collapses and other deterioration of the site. Fortunately, many of the artifacts have been removed and preserved in the safety of museums.

Your question cannot be answered adequately as its answer calls for speculation. More than likely Pompeii would have deteriorated and disappeared as have so many other small Roman towns in that area. One thing for certain, though, is that we would never have had the insights into everyday Roman life that we have today if Pompeii had not been buried and preserved.
