MOUNT VESUVIUSBy #oliver clifton

INTRODUCTION

Pompeii was a Roman city that was in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Mount Vesuvius was very big and you can still see it today in Italy in the city of Rome you can see mount Vesuvius itself and the Ruins of Pompeii. It last erupted in 79AD.

WHAT HAPPENEDMount Vesuvius was what people THOUGHT was dormant (asleep) or was it …It exploded without warning and the people did not know what was going on! Then, a giant cloud of ash filled the sky so they could not see the sun. After that, it began raining pebbles. Some of the Gladiators went out in the storm and thought it was not going to effect them, but it also had some thick stones that could knock ‘em out! One person was so curios about the eruption that he got a boat and went closer to it and wrote in his diary about it. It had a really bad effect on Pompeii and the ground was filled with pebbles and the houses started to brake while they were praying to their gods and kill some people! Some of them found some painless ways to kill them selfs. Some people were on the beach and the ash cloud went to them and it was so bad that they died! The eruption lasted for 18 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW WE KNOWWell during the volcanic eruption of mount Vesuvius there was a person who was outside of Pompeii and he wrote it all down in his diary, but no one believed him. But at the 1500s science proved that it could be true! In the ruins of Pompeii there are skeletons and ash bodies (bodies that the ash covered but the inside of it has rotten away.)

ITS VIDEO TIME YO!!!!!!!!!!!
