RE: The Incredible City of Pompeii
Such a beautiful city, Nice shots, I watched the movie based on the story of how Pompeii was covered in ash and it was really sad. Looking forward to seeing more photos.
Hello my man @cryptoctopus, thanks for this post, i don't like seeing the movie pompei. It moves me to tears. After seeing the movies, i decided to read about it and i discovered that Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in southern Italy’s Campania region, it was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
When Mount Vesuvius erupted cataclysmically in the summer of A.D. 79, the nearby Roman town of Pompeii was buried under several feet of ash and rock. The ruined city remained frozen in time until it was discovered by a surveying engineer in 1748.
The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.
