One day in Pompeii

People used the soil of Mount Vesuvius for crops as the land was very good!
On 24th August AD 79 Mount Vesuvius started erupting but no one cared!
DANGER!Mount Vesuvius is erupting!
Many citizens tried running but couldn't get away quick enough. Leaving them to be left in 9m of deep ash.
18 hours after the first explosion a massive one occured! Breaking a huge chunk of the mountain off.
Not far from Pompeii there was a man called Pliny who saw the entire eruption happen, his notes helped scientists understand the sequence.
He described the eruption as a "Stone Pine Tree"
In 1748 archaeologists discovered Pompeii
It took over 200 years to dig out the thick layer of ash and soil.
