Ep 42: Volcanoes Pt 2 - Time Capsule of Tragedy: Exploring Pompeii's Frozen History


Listen Later

Volcanoes part 2! – This is the story that you’ve all heard - in 79AD Mt. Vesuvius destroyed the Roman resort towns of Pompei & Herculaneum. Imagine not knowing what a volcano is really, then there are earthquakes, then there is pumice on fire flying through the air, THEN it’s pyroclastic flow day - and everything is buried. 

It’s a tragedy, but it’s also a miracle, because these towns are the only view we have into Roman life in full color. We can see their rooms, their frescos, how they ate, how they played… in a way that we can’t anywhere else in the world.
