BY WILLIAM SWALES

Pompeii was destroyed when the nearby , supposedly extinct volcano called mount Vesuvis erupted in AD 74, covering the town and its inhabits in many tones of pumice and ash.

Italys most acclaimed archaeologist Giuseeppe Fiorelli made significant discoveries

The ruins at Pompeii were first discovered late in the 16th century by the architect Domenenico Fontana.

These are some of the discovery's that they help find.

It was actually the discovery of a nearby town called Herculaneum, a city that had also been destroyed by mount Vesuviu’s, Pompeii was later found years after that and was taken more seriously and that is how the lost city of Pompeii was found. At first they found it while discovering Herculaneum and was forgotten about and not taken seriously. So it was actually found accidently.

He used local laborers to do the digging with whatever tools were on hand including shovels, picks and wheelbarrows. It would of taken a lot of time and effort.

For a start they all made it out of the discovery alive and they made a amazing discovery. They

didn’t have any casualtys with finding it because the first time they were actually lokking for a

nother city in the first place. However they would have had great problems removing the laver and the jewels from the bodys the secondm time that

they came back.

In the discovery of pompeii they found many artifacts like these

pots.

These things as well

From what I can gather they obviously left or tried to leave in a rush. Unfortunately over 2000 of them died while trying.

Exhibition’s

An exhibition of the Great Italian is being held over 2 years of traveling and are visible through 4 U.S city's. The exhibition includes more than 250 artifacts including wall sized frescoes, gold coins, jewelry, grave goods and Marble and bronze statuary also people can view them in the exhibition sites.

Archeologists

This has taught me how important that archeologists really are to our life and if we did not have them we would not have all of these wonderful topics to study.
