gas, and molten rock racing toward the city. <break time="0.4s" /> The thick volcanic

ash buried everything — buildings, shops, and entire streets — sealing the city

beneath it. <break time="0.4s" /> When Pompeii was rediscovered nearly 1700 years later, archaeologists found

people, homes, and food preserved mid-moment. <break time="0.4s" /> A whole city,
