Destruction of Pompeii
On the XXIV of August LXXIX CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted & completely buried the Roman city of Pompeii in volcanic ash. NB There was no lava in this eruption despite many modern movies show that there was.
It is thought around 5 000 people were killed in the catastrophe.
Pompeii lay buried and lost to the modern world until it was rediscovered as the result of intentional excavations in MDCCXLVIII CE

Mnamo Agosti 24, mwaka wa 29 KK, mlima Vesuvius ulipuka na kuificha kabisa mji wa Roma wa Pompeii katika majivu ya volkano. NB Hakukuwa na lava katika mlipuko huu licha ya filamu nyingi za kisasa kuonyesha kwamba kulikuwa na. Inakadiriwa kuwa watu 5,000 waliuawa katika msiba huo. Pompeii ilikuwa imezikwa na kupotea kwa ulimwengu wa kisasa hadi ilipogunduliwa tena kama matokeo ya uchimbuaji wa makusudi katika MDCCXLVIII CE.
