Pompeii


Mt Vesuvias overlooking Pompeii

Entrance to Pompeii

Victim of Mt. Vesuvias

Pompeii was a rich city, a place to visit for vacation in 79 AD.
But then Mt. Vesuvias erupted and 20 feet of ash covered the
entire city suffocating all living beings immediately. It was discovered in the 1800s

 We walked the entire city and even visited one of it's Brothels. It was small with three rooms and a bed in each one. There were pornographic images on the walls.

A rich man's home was very well preserved - murals on walls, and many bedrooms. The people seemed to live very well, but it was all destroyed in an instant.
