I read this book titled “Pompeii”. Pompeii is a city of a part of the Roman Empire, in the first century AD. Pompeii was a busy trading centre. But Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 AD. The buried city was discovered in 1800s. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy.
I didn’t know about Pompeii. I was surprised at the fact of disaster. I think that human cannot overcome natural disaster. I want to go to Pompeii someday, and I want to see the remain of the an ancient city.
