lvlosl' people believe Pompeii was deslroyed by lava from Vesuvius in 69 AD. This is nor lrue. The inhabilanls of The cily were asphyxialed by carbonic gas from The vol- cano, and laler Jrhe enlire area was buried benealh a vasl cloud ol line volcanic ash. So our guide lold us as we visiied lhe ruins of Pompeii. We were awed by rhe crumb- ling, bul' slill impressive ruins of lhe Forum, Jrhe Basilica, Jrhe Temple ol Apollo and Diana, and 'rhe limbless slalues, com- memoraling Jrhe deilies of Jrhe ancienl' world. Carbonized loaves off bread on fables gave mule +es'rimony lo The sud- denness wilh which disasler descended upon Pompeii. The days ol glory have passed for Pompeii, bu+ her ruins have been broughl lo lighl lo lascinale and bewilder us, cenlu- ries aller she was deslroyed.
