24th of August, 79AD Mount Vesuvius erupted. It destroyed 20,000 Roman lives and created a city sized time capsule.
By the end of that day, Pompeii was buried by volcanic ash, preserving this ancient city's stories, remains and fantastic fresco paintings.
This time capsule is an incredible insight into ancient life, allowing us to understand their civilised and democratic society.
This archilogical excavation provides peep holes into things such as their political, social and the aesthetical values they held, including their interior design sense! :P
