What actually happens when a volcano instantly freezes an entire city in time?
In this video, we break down the terrifying planetary science and thermodynamics behind the destruction of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Discover why slow-moving lava wasn't the killer, and how catastrophic pyroclastic flows—avalanches of superheated toxic gas and volcanic ash—instantly entombed the city at temperatures exceeding 500 degrees.
Learn the exact preservation science of how millions of tons of falling ash created a rapid, airtight volcanic capsule that sealed out moisture and oxygen, perfectly preserving history for thousands of years.
