Pompeii
With a population that could have neared 20,000 people, life in Pompeii was healthy and happy until Aug. 24, 79 AD, when Mt. Vesuvius erupted with enough power to completely bury Pompeii and its neighbour, Herculaneum in volcanic ash. The cities were lost, then forgotten, until 16 centuries later when they and their contents were rediscovered. Frozen in time, the bodies of victims remain encased in ash exactly as they fell, and preserved private homes offer a never-before-seen glimpse into Roman daily life.
