No they were not. Pompeii was destroyed in 79 BC. It is now thought that Atlantis was the Greek island of Santorini, which in antiquity was called Thera. It is a volcanic island. Most of the island collapsed into the sea in a Volcanic eruption which is thought to have occurred in the mid-second millennium BC.
But we have to keep in mind that the philosopher Plato in a book he wrote came up with the concept of an "ideal" society he called Atlantis and which according to him was sunk into the ocean as a punishment by the Gods right after they had supposedly tried to attack Athens. So Atlantis may also have been completely made up by him.
A long time ago in 79 A.D when Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii.
Pompeii was a Roman city near what is now Naples, Italy.Pompeii was partially destroyed and buried under ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.

Atlantis is a myth, a tale, a story.
No. Atlantis existed 11,600 years ago. The Mayan Civilization existed up to 300 years ago, when it was conquered by the Spanish.
It is estimated that around 2,000 people died when Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The victims were buried under layers of ash and pumice, preserving the city and its inhabitants in a tragic moment in time.
Until they are destroyed, yes.
We don't know and probably never will know. There were other towns beside Pompeii that were destroyed and lives were lost. Pompeii itself, is not fully excavated. We have no census of the area at the time of the eruption, so we don't know how many people even lived around there. So it's unlikely that we will ever get a true count of all the lives lost.
Pompeii was a Roman city which destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius of 79 AD. At that time the Romans still used papyrus scrolls and made notebooks made with bound parchment pages. The Romans invented the codeces (plural of codex) which were papyrus or parchment bound books later.
The same things that can be destroyed at any other time.
Pompeii was run by a group of elected councilers. The main figurehead however was who ever was the Roman Emperor at the time because Pompeii was part of the Empire.
