Where are the covered cities in history?

Pompeii is an ancient city with a long history in Campenia in the southwest corner of Apennine Peninsula. It is located about 240 kilometers northwest of Rome, near Naples in southern Italy, and 10 kilometers southwest of Vesuvius. About 20 kilometers west from the beautiful Bay of Naples, it is a summer resort with its back to the sea. It was built in the 6th century BC and was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Pompeii was a small town at that time, but because it was buried by volcanic ash, the houses on the street were well preserved. Archaeological excavations continued from 1748, providing important information for understanding the social life, culture and art of ancient Rome.

With the passage of time, the ancient city of Pompeii gradually faded out of the world. Later, immigrants from Rome to the south and from Greece and Sicily to the north found that the foot of the volcano was covered with dense forests. People cut down trees and exposed black land, so they developed and planted grapes on them.

In the spring of 1748, a farmer named Andre was digging deep in his vineyard. He raised his hoe with a bang, as if he had found a boulder, but he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried. He quickly called his brother and sister-in-law for help. They dug up dirt and stones and found that the hoe had penetrated a metal cabinet. So too many cooks dug out the cabinets and opened them. It turned out to be a lot of melted and semi-melted gold and silver jewelry and ancient coins. When the news spread, the farmers who planted grapes in this land suddenly remembered the legend of Pompeii's disappearance handed down from generation to generation, so treasure thieves swarmed, and later attracted a group of historians and archaeologists to come here for archaeology. Later, at the suggestion of experts, the Italian government began to organize scientists to excavate the ancient city of Pompeii in an orderly manner. After seven or eight generations of experts 100 years of continuous work and thousands of staff's hard maintenance, this thrilling scene of Pompeii finally reappeared in front of the world. Vanya, a historian who participated in the excavation of Pompeii, said, "What a shocking sight! Many people died in their sleep, while others died at home. They held their arms high and gasped. Many people's bread is still in the oven, and the dog is still tied to the chain by the door; The slaves still carry ropes; There are books made of papyrus on the shelves of the library, and election slogans are posted on the walls, with words of love painted on them ... "These scenes fully show how tens of thousands of creatures in the ancient city were suddenly torn alive! I felt a panic when I saw the bodies of men, women and children in various forms (mostly fossils) displayed in the sealed glass of Pompeii. Facing the eternal universe and nature, people should first respect nature, protect ecology and compete with nature. How small and powerless people are!
