That’s a fascinating page about the history of the pineapple in ancient Rome. But the author ruins it all with his conclusion: “This means that the cities were not destroyed in 79 AD, but sometime after Columbus brought the pineapple back to share with the Europeans.”
What a ridiculous assertion.

It should say, not completely destroyed.
Though the people where killed. Likely from a volcanic gas of some type. They're not saying in any report i can find which means it wasn't a type of sulfur. It was likely a high concentration of CO2.
