On, august 23,79 AD ,Pompeii looked like any other busy city. People were moving about trading goods, news, and friendly talking. Three days later, on August 26, all of these sounds had fallen silent, and the place itself had vanished. Almost nothing was seen of Pompeiifor more than 1500 years. Now, more than 1900 years later, we are learning more and more about the last days of Pompeii.
