well known for the eruption that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The documentary Pompeii: The Last Day is based on a volcano called Mount Vesuvius that erupted on August 24 79 AD. The documentary is from a family’s point of view and those who were affected and witnessed the disaster.

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the commune of Pompeii. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft.) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Pompeii was founded around the 6th–7th century BC by the Osci, or Oscans, a people

Pompeii In the year 79 A.D. the volcano, Mount Vesuvius, had its’s most famous eruption when it buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii along with the small neighbouring towns of Stabiae and Herculaneum. The eruption killed two thousand people and left the city buried under millions of tons of volcanic ash. Pompeii was rediscovered again in 1748, by a group of explorers after it laid under a layer of volcanic ash since the explosion. Underneath a thick layer of dust and debris the city was mostly

In 79 CE, a disastrous eruption from Mt. Vesuvius occurred. This eruption affected many towns, but one famous town affected was one that was located about five miles from the volcano. This ancient Roman area was known as Pompeii. After the eruption, it was abandoned for many years, until explorers rediscovered Pompeii in 1748. Below the dust and debris, was a town that once lively; mostly everything remained intact. For a long time, people thought that the Pompeiians had suffocated, but now many

On August 24th AD 79 Mount Vesuvius violently erupted and buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The eruption of the volcano was recorded by one of the only surviving eyewitnesses Pliny the Younger. He described the start of the eruption like this: “On August in the early afternoon, my mother drew his attention to a cloud of unusual size and appearance…its general appearance can best be expressed as being like an umbrella pine, for it rose to a great height on a sort of trunk and then split

Huge quantities of scalding hot ash, pumice and lava pebbles were thrown into the sky. This then cascaded down across an extensive area. Pompeii was buried under 14 to 17 feet of ash and pumice, and the nearby seacoast was drastically changed. Herculaneum was buried under more than 60 feet of mud and volcanic material. Some residents of Pompeii later returned to dig out their destroyed homes and salvage their valuables, but many treasures were left and then forgotten. The remains of 2,000 men, women

killed 16,000 people. The remains of 2,000 mens, women, children, were found at Pompeii and their bodies decompose to skeletons. There was a eruption in 1906 killing more than 100 people. Until, 1982 the remains of the first human was found at Herculaneum. Vesuvius Today has stayed dormant since 1944. There was a series of small exposition. On May 18,1944 Vesuvius erupted again causing major problems for Allies in World War II. The eruption lasted a two week with lava came from the summit of the

eruptions before the infamous eruption in 79A.D. to its last eruption in 1944. The focus of this research paper is on Mount Vesuvius is two of its most deadly eruptions in 79 A.D. and 1631 that destroyed the ancient cities of Pompeii and nearby Herculaneum forcing the citizens to flee to the Bay of Naples to escape the ash falls and its pyroclastic flows. Both eruptions left the populations

shore line, away from the mountain. Many, however, remained in their homes and became trapped there by both debris and dust clouds. The next morning, those who remained in Pompeii were killed by the poisonous gasses released by the mountain. Herculaneum, a small town to the northwest of Pompeii, on the other side of Mount Vesuvius, underwent the same fate as Pompeii, but in a different manner. At the beginning of the eruption, the town was not greatly affected. An immediate gust of hot ash and
