blog post #41


Find information and a picture about a time we wern't prepared. (i.e. a natural disaster or attack.) Post the information and cite it.
"Located near modern-day Naples in Italy, Pompeii was covered by ash from an eruption of nearby Mt. Vesuvius, a volcano that is still active today. The eruption occurred so suddenly that the ash covered and buried many people and objects in minutes. About one hundred years ago these objects began to be uncovered by archaeologists, most lying in exactly the same place they had been nearly two thousand years before. You will read more about Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius in lessons to come."
