In 79 A.D., the ancient Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of a nearby volcano,
Mt. Vesuvius. Although many other cities in history have been victims to eruptions of volcanoes and their
deadly gas, lava, and ash, what makes Pompeii especially interesting is what happened years later. In
1748, explorers in the Italian region where Pompeii once stood made an incredible discovery. Buried
underneath layers of dirt, the city of Pompeii remained preserved. The original volcanic explosion had
happened so quickly that most of the citizens were unable to escape. Their remains and the buildings of
the city were still there, preserved, as if the year was still 79 A.D. instead of 1748. Some were frozen as if
running from the fiery inferno while others were engaged in normal daily activities. The layers of dust had frozen the day in history.
Archeologists would later begin the careful process of excavating the now famous city from the
layers of ash. The tragedy of Pompeii is the loss of the city and the approximately two thousand people
who died during the eruption. Ironically, the deadly eruption helped preserve Pompeii so that no one will
ever forget the name of this ancient Roman civilization.
