PO PEII IN Pompeii we saw a history, a magnificently reconstructed history of a city and its in- habitants that, due to the forces of nature, had been buried beneath tons of stone and lava for centuries. We walked the narrow streets and alleyways and saw a city probably as modern in its day, as any we know now. The ancient grain houses, churches and homes offered to us a complete and per- manent record of life ages ago and the mu- seums showed again of the quick, complete preservation the molten ash and lava caused during its turbulent action. Remarkable paintings still retained their original color- ing and these, plus the fabulous statues now standing again, showed us the life and times of the Pompeiians. The forgotten city was re- discovered in 1748 and in 1763 systematic excavations were begun. We found in walk- ing the lava paved streets the city had been built in an irregular oval shape, enclosed by walls that had only eight gate entrances. Pompeii was partially destroyed in A.D. 63 by an earthquake, but the final touches were added to the destruction in A.D. 79 when the first of many eruptions by Vesuvius completely blotted out human life and vegetation. 5
