Pompeii was located in Italy next to a volcano, Mount Vesuvius. Two thousand years ago Mt Vesuvius was very active, but at that time no one knew it was a volcano. On the last day of Pompeii, 27th August 2000 years ago, no one knew what was going to happen so they just went round doing the daily routines. Then Mt Vesuvius started sending earth tremors but at first nobody took notice of it.
When the volcano erupted nobody knew what was happening because no one knew what a volcano was at that time. Fifteen minutes after Mt Vesuvius started erupting ashes were flying 15 kilometres into the air. The sky was covered in ash and it covered the sun so the place was in complete darkness. At this point everyone was terrified.
The ash started to rise fast and when ash freezes it turns into magma. Magma pebbles started to fall down from the sky at 200km/h which hit people and could have killed them or seriously injured them. Roofs started to fall under the weight of the magma, so some people died in their on houses before the rest of the horror started.
Thousands fleed an hour after Mt Vesuvius started erupting. The slaves were expected to stay with their masters to look after them but some slaves ran away even though if they survived the eruption they would have been severely punished.
A cloud of volcanic gas tumbled down the volcano and filled the air with toxic gases making it impossible to breathe, therefore suffocating people. Two clouds of gas hotter than boiling water were sent down from Mt Vesuvius. One went to a islan
d with people on the beach trying to wave to boats for rescue and the second cloud went to Pompeii. Bones were shattered and brains were boiled. Seven hours after the eruption started the streets were deserted. Roughly five thousand people died.
