Almost 2 , 000 years ago , and only a few days' journey from Rome by , the city of Pompeii at the foot of a volcano named Mount Vesuvius .
II
Pompeii was a dynamic , centre full of life . There were dozens of shops where shopkeepers sold jewellery and perfumes , potters worked with , and metalworkers and glassblowers amazed - with their .
There were theatres , bars , taverns and public baths where people used to go to relax and socialise . There was also an amphitheatre where people used to watch fight .
III
Vesuvius had not erupted in more than a thousand years . There had been an earthquake some years earlier , but no one could imagine what would follow ? Then , in August AD 79 , the earth started to shake again , and a few hours later , the volcano erupted with a bang . Tons of rocks , ash and hot lava buried Pompeii . Buildings , fires broke out everywhere . It was a scene . People everywhere were screaming , children were crying , and others were for the to stop .
For the city of Pompeii , time stopped here .
IV
In 1748 , when archaeologists began , they discovered that the lava had
not only destroyed Pompeii , but it had also it . Everything was found exactly the way it had been almost two thousand years ago . Archaeologists found
shops , temples , a theatre , wall paintings . The hot ashes had around
people's bodies preserving the positions they were in at the time of the eruption .
The bodies had dust , but by pouring into holes in the hardened
ash , archaeologists were able to make out their shapes . In some cases , they could
even see the expression on a person's face . Inside the houses they found a half - eaten
loaf of bread , eggs , a on the fire . They even found a sign at the entrance of
a house saying ? Cave Canem' , which means : ? Beware of the Dog' !
