#Italy #Vesuvius #onthisday #24August #AD79 the eruption of volcano Vesuvius located on the Bay of Naples began. The eruption that followed changed the landscape of the region. Pompeii and Herculaneum, two thriving towns with long histories (Greek and then Roman) were completely covered with debris from the volcano - known as a pyroclastic cloud. At Herculaneum the town was covered in many meters of volcanic ash and stones. It would have been impossible to survive. Groups of skeletons have been discovered by archaeologists in the warehouses at the former port. Probably trying in vain to escape. To visit Herculaneum is to step back in time. The brooding bulk of Vesuvius looms over the bay. Full story in bio. #Fascinating #history and here: https://wp.me/p5eFNn-3jJ
