Unit 10, Pompeii

Not very far from Naples, a strange city sleeps under the hot Italian sun. It is the city of pompeii, And there is no other city quite like it in all the world like these lives in pompeii except crickets and beetles and lizards. Yet every year thousands of people travel from distant countries to visit it.
Pompeii is a dead city. No 1 has lived there for nearly 2000 years. Not since the summer of the year AD 79, to be exact.
Until the year pompeii was a prosperous city of 25,000 people. Nearby was the bay of nepalese, a arm of the blue mediterranean, which men came down from wealthy rome to be with these others. Farmland surrounded pompeii rising behind the city was the 4000 foot mould with the rears of the grass covers slow while the shepherds of pompeii took their goals to greece. Pompey was a busy city and a happy one.
It died suddenly in a terrible rain of fire and ash. the tragedy struck on the august 24th AD79. Mount Vesuvius, which had slept quietly for centuries, erupted with savage violence. tons of hearts fell on pompeii, heading it from sight for 3 days the sun did not break through the clouds of the county as that field of skies and when the eruption and the company was buried deep. A city had perished.
Centuries passed pompey was forgotten then 1700 years later it was discovered again beneath the protecting Shroud of as the city lay is intact. Everything was as it had been the day Vesuvius erupted.There were still lots of bread in the ovens of the bakeries in the white shops, the white sharks were in place and 1/4 could be seen as staying while a customer had slowed down his glass and fled.
To go to pompeii today is to take a trip backward in time. The old city comes to a life all around you you can almost hear the clatter of horses who is on the narrow streets. The city is of children and the laughter of the shopkeepers, the sky is cloudy blue with the summer sun hide in the sky Galaxy slope of green with soviets rights to the heavens behind the city, And sunlight shimmers on the waters of the bay as southern yards from the sea walls ships from aviation are import and strange language can be heard in the streets.
Such was pompeii or next last day and so it is today not that the volcanic ash has been cleared away a good imagination if so you need to restore it to activity.
