In 79 AD, the Roman city of Pompeii was “destroyed” when the volcano Vesuvius erupted, claiming the lives of around 2,000 people. Archaeologists found many corpses during excavations in the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii of the Roman Empire (today’s Italy). These bodies became evidence of a terrible tragedy that occurred almost 2,000 years ago.

Specifically, in the year 79, the volcano Vesuvius suddenly “woke up” and erupted violently. The city of Pompeii, Herculaneum and several other settlements at the foot of this volcanic disaster were the most affected.

Among them, Pompeii is the place “missing” due to the Vesuvius volcanic disaster. The fiery red lava flowed downwards, carrying many large rocks along the way and creating huge columns of ash.

Pompeii was located right at the foot of the Vesuvius volcano, so the entire city was quickly buried under tons of volcanic rock and ash.

These victims died in various positions. Many corpses have been preserved almost intact after almost 2,000 years.

Not only humans, but a number of animals raised by families in Pompeii also died painfully in the eruption and were buried with their owners.

After this tragedy, Pompeii became a dead and uninhabited land for many centuries.
