Pompeii is a lost city but thanks to science we can still visit it to discover the lifestyle of people in antiquity.
Although the city was covered by ash about two thousand years ago, visitors can see evidence of prosperity.
Once you visit this archaeological site, you can witness the great catastrophe that happened to this now lost healthy city.
Look at the walls of Pompeii. That's what got the internet started.

Because of scientists and their excavation effort for decades, we can now wander through the streets of this ancient city of Italy.
