In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the Roman city of Pompeii beneath ash and fire.
Thousands of people were caught in one of history’s most famous natural disasters.
Nearly 1,700 years later, the buried city revealed an incredible snapshot of ancient Rome, preserved streets, homes, artwork, and the final moments of those who could not escape.
The eruption destroyed Pompeii in a single day, but it also preserved a lost world for future generations to discover.
