Pompeii: The Day an Entire Roman City Was Erased from History

In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the Roman city of Pompeii under millions of tons of ash and pyroclastic rock — killing thousands in a matter of hours. This is the full story of Pompeii's last day: from the tremors that warned no one, to the moment the city was frozen in time forever. Based on the accounts of Pliny the Younger, the only eyewitness to leave a written record of the eruption, this narration reconstructs every phase of the disaster — the pumice rain, the darkness at noon, and the pyroclastic flows that ended everything. Ancient Rome never forgot Pompeii. Neither should we.
