Pompeii ■ Pompeii is an ancient Italian city on the Bay of Naples. It was founded in the 7th century BC by a tribe- the Oscans, later taken over by the Romans in the first century, and became a prosperous city until completely buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. ■ Pompeii was partially destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1749. Since then, its excavation has revealed the habits and manners of life in Roman times and many rare and beautiful samples of Roman art. ■ Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year

Pompeii the last day ■ A multidisciplinary study of the eruption products and victims indicates that at Vesuvius and surrounding towns, heat was the main cause of death of people, previously believed to have died from ash suffocation. The results of the study, published in 2010, show that exposure to at least 250 °C hot surges at a distance of 10 kilometers from the vent was sufficient to cause instant death, even if people were sheltered within buildings

Mount Vesuvius ■ Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum(赫库兰尼姆古城). They were never rebuilt, although surviving townspeople and probably looters did undertake extensive salvage work after the destructions. The towns' locations were eventually forgotten until their accidental rediscovery in the 18th century
