The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius Pompeii DISASTER (79 A.D.)

Play Humankind today: store.humankind.game/?...
At the beginning of 79 AD the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, situated in Campania, on the Bay of Naples in southern Italy, were both bustling centres of human activity. Pompeii was a busy commercial centre with a population estimated to have been anywhere between 6,400 and 30,000. Herculaneum, on the other hand, was a smaller and more exclusive place, popular with the Roman elite, as is attested by the number of luxurious villas that have been discovered there. By the end of the year, both of them lay buried under metres of volcanic mud and ash, victims of one of the worst geological disasters in recorded history, an event so cataclysmic that it still horrifies almost 2000 years later: the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

    I had the opportunity to visit both towns back in 1979 when my ship visited Naples. It was absolutely incredible the things that had been preserved. The villas, the kiosks with food still in the pots, amphorae with wine residue, coins, statuary, paved roads, and the list goes on. it was just like stepping back in time. We even visited the top of Vesuvius and looked down into the crater. If you can ever visit, please do, it is well worth the cost.

    The thing is that archeologists have found some animal remains like donkeys that were used to pull grinding stones were in their stalls, tigers that were in their cages for the circuses, and a dog that was chained up.

    I visited a Pompeii exhibit a few years back.. I'll never forget it, but mostly, the haunting image of 2 bodies, one, that of a child, clinging to eachother, the larger person, presumably a mother or father, covering the small body of the child with their own, as the small body's arms also wrapped around the back of the poor soul trying to protect their child... it's absolutely horrifying, and devastatingly sad... I can hardly even imagine the horror that these people went through when witnessing this event unfold...

    I've seen the casts that were made to mark the cavities where the bodies of the dead laid. The Royal Ontario Museum had an exibit that simulated the marketplace and a surround sound theater that provided what it would have sounded like at the point where the pyroclastic flow would have occured. As many times as I see documentaries that show the casts its nothing like seeing them upclose. Mothers still holding their babies, lovers holding hands, a boy holding onto his dog. Its truely haunting.
