As you may know there is a volcano named Mt.Vesuvius that erupted in 79 A.D. The town Pompeii was right next to it when it erupted. They were going on with there daily lives (shopping learning ect.) when it started to erupt. Ash flew into the air. Most people didn't know what it did so they stood and watched. Ash and rock covered the city preserving people how they were. Later archaeologists uncovered Pompeii and saw how people were preserved inside rock. Many archaeologists still study Pompeii and Mt.Vesuvius
