I first read Pliny the Younger's account of the eruption in the excellent "Eyewitness to History", a book that I've also given to several kids and grandkids. I highly recommend it.

Apparently they dismissed global warming concerns.

I remember it like it was yesterday.
Many fine online tours of Pompei and Herculaneum. Amazing stuff.

An appropriate time to pull up YouTube and watch Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” live from Pompeii. Turn It Up...

Its been said that God caused the eruption because Pompeii was a heindonistic, homosexual depraved village.

I was stationed in Naples, Italy from 1983 to 1986. Visited Pompei ruins many times and was always fascinated with the ruins and history of this historic event. Also got to watch the excavation of Herculaneum over these years and was amazed to see archaeologists do their work.

Herculaneum (Ercolono) also destroyed and there you can see the preserved skeletons of the citizens who took shelter down at the harbor warehouses. Pompeii doesn’t have that.

An excellent book indeed.
And as a recommended sidekick, a book entitled “The Last Time When” by George Gipe.
