The city of Pompeii was forgotten because after the eruption and subsequent burial by the volcanic debris, the place was unlivable. The people who escaped sent their servants back to try and rescue any of their possessions that they could and the looters moved in. Then it was simply ignored. People who lived at the time remembered it but when they died out all memory of Pompeii was forgotten.
