If you aren’t familiar with the story of Pompeii, Italy, already, here’s the scoop: It was destroyed by volcanic ash and pumice in AD 79, when the nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted, and everybody died because they breathed in volcanic ash. It’s pretty gruesome! There are even plaster molds that were formed by the voids of ash that once held human bodies, exhibiting the excruciating pain of their last moments. #pompeii #italytravel #summertravel #summerbucketlist
