Have you ever felt the ground shake beneath your feet—or imagined what it would be like if your whole city disappeared in a single day?

In this episode of Wonders and Whispers, we travel back to AD 79, when Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the city of Pompeii under ash and rock. But this isn’t just a story of destruction—it’s a story of discovery. Centuries later, the city was uncovered, frozen in time, and full of secrets from ancient Roman life.

Step into the past with Iza as she explores what really happened, what archaeologists found, and why Pompeii still captures our imagination today.
