## Resource

The volcano of Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 C.E. and we haven't stopped talking about it since. We discuss the only eye-witness account of the eruption that buried the Italian cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. In this episode we encounter violent eruptions, ancient scientists, natural disasters, villas by the sea, and stranded sea animals. An extra warning for this episode, there are detailed descriptions of the dangers that occur during a natural disaster, so if that’s going to upset you, skip this one!
