@aniverse_ai: The destruction of Pompeii (79 CE) In 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted violently, burying the Roman city of Pompeii under volcanic ash and pumice. The disaster struck on August 24, catching residents off guard despite earlier tremors. Ash, toxic gases, and pyroclastic flows overwhelmed the city, killing thousands and preserving buildings, streets, and even people’s final moments. Rediscovered in the 18th century, Pompeii offers a unique glimpse into ancient Roman life, frozen in time by the eruption’s destructive force. #history #historytok #aigenerated #ancient #ancienthistory #usaus #english #pompeii #aniverse_ai
