together and to run for their lives Lava was spilling through half of the
city it was very petrifying people thinking they were gonna die and it’s their doom.
Several days passed and the eruption ended.

my lovely city of Pompeii was destroyed. This Tragic incident happened
on August 24th 79 AD this happened a very long time ago and we respect
the souls that have been taken. But I was very lucky or I would have not lived
to tell this tragic story.
