The Roman city of Pompeii near Naples was devastated and completely buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius for 2 days. The tragedy collapsed higher roof lines and buried the city under several meters of pumice and ash. The city was rediscovered accidentally in 1748, which was nearly lost almost 1700 years after the incident. Click the next ARROW to see the next image!
