History of pompeii city.

                          Pompeii.

The infamous A.D.79 eruption of mount vesuvius obliterated the surrounding landscape as well as the Roman metropolisies that stood in the volcano shadow. After heavy ash caused fatal building collaspe in Pompeii, violent pyroclastic currents rockted downslope and smothered the city, the nearby port town of herculaneum, and several other sites.

Pyroclastic flows are gravity driven mixture of ash, lava blobs and noxious gases. They can be as hot as 700 degree celcius and move at a speed of 80 km per hour.

Around 2000 people were died in that eruption of mount vesuvius and 16000 people were died outside the city Pompeii due to that eruption. It is said that the city of Pompeii was the most civilized city of that time, according to scholar no city of that time was that much civilized as pompeii. Adultery, girls traficing, Buying and selling slaves were normal in the city of pompeii.

It is said by the muslim scholars that it was the punishment of the lord for the people of Pompeii as they were involved in many wrong activities and sins. It is written in the hadith of muslims that when the hour will come it will come in such a way that if a mother is feeding her baby before she feeds her baby hour will take place. If a transaction is done by two vendors before the transaction completes an hour will take place.

This was the same situation that was happened in the city of Pompeii. A buyers was buying something from the shop before the shopkepper gives him anything eruption takes place and it was so strong that the hot air of eruption from mount vesuvius took the lifes of 2000 people who were present at that time. When the scientist pour POP under the ground where the lost city was found it gaves them a shape and it was the shape of that shopkeeper and the buyer. Strange.
