Pompeii disappeared during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius

Pompeii
On August 24, 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius suddenly erupted, and Pompeii disappeared in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Pompeii is the second largest city after ancient Rome in Italy. It is 300 kilometers away from Rome in the north, connects the famous Sicily to the west, and connects Greece and North Africa to the south. The magical Temple of the Sun, the huge Colosseum, the magnificent Grand Theater, the effective wizard's hall, the novel steam bath, and numerous shops and entertainment venues in Pompeii have attracted many wealthy businessmen and aristocrats in the Mediterranean Week city-states. Add to the strange magma soil, volcanic rocks and geothermal hot springs brought by the repeated eruptions of Mount Vesuvius in the north of the city over hundreds of millions of years. It also made Pompeii famous: the large area of fertile magma soil with a slightly burnt taste made the grapes produced in Pompeii sweet and excellent wine-making, making it the top grade purchased by aristocrats everywhere; the geothermal hot springs that are endless day and night. Not only is it tempting to take a bath, but it also attracts many aristocrats and wealthy businessmen to come to Pompeii to build gardens, build villas, and develop entertainment venues in succession. Pompeii quickly became a prosperous place in smoke willows. Especially volcanic stones with bright red in the black, everyone competes to have them because of their magical effects of relieving pain, soothing nerves, and stopping bleeding. However, who would have expected that the volcano next to Pompeii would suddenly wake up one day and open its bloody mouth to swallow the famous Pompeii city in an instant!
Mount Vesuvius is 1277 meters above sea level. According to geologists, it is a typical active volcano. It has been erupting continuously for thousands of years. Pompeii was built on the basis of lava that hardened after an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in ancient times. However, before the beginning of BC, the famous geographer Strabo concluded that Mount Vesuvius was an extinct volcano based on its topography and geomorphology. People at that time fully believed his argument and ignored the volcano. Green crops were planted on both sides of the volcano, and the plains were full of lemon groves and orange groves, as well as other orchards and vineyards. They never expected that this "extinct volcano" was brewing a devastating disaster. On February 8, 62 AD, a powerful earthquake hit the area, causing the collapse of many buildings. Many of the damaged buildings we see in Pompeii today were caused by that earthquake. After the earthquake, the Pompeii people rebuilt the city and pursued luxury more. However, before Pompeii could recover from the earthquake, on August 24, 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius suddenly erupted. Today, thousands of years later, we have seen a moment of history. The ancient city of Pompeii was built in the 8th century BC. In the mid-3rd century BC, the Romans incorporated Pompeii into their territory. Pompeii became strong with the strength of the Roman Empire. However, one day in August of the year 79 AD, the disaster struck Pompeii. The rolling magma from Mount Vesuvius flowed towards Pompeii and ruthlessly buried the entire city. Pompeii froze at that moment.
