Pompeii - The Great Misteries Of Arcaeology by T. Pedrazzi

`The Great Mysteries of Archaeology: Pompeii` appears to be the title of a book or a series, rather than a standalone concept, that explores the fascinating history and discoveries at the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The city, preserved by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius`s eruption in 79 AD, offers unique insights into Roman life, art, and culture, with ongoing excavations revealing preserved buildings, frescoes, and everyday objects, and even uncovering evidence of survivors returning to live among the ruins.

This book uncovers the fascinating, forgotten city of Pompeii and marvel at the hidden wonders that lay buried for thousands of years. It has full colour photographs of original artefacts, mosaics, sculptures, reliefs and frescos that bring the city to life. You can discover more about everyday life in Pompeii including elements of agriculture, the economy, medicine, education, religion and government. You can learn about the devastating story of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the city`s complete destruction. You can also unearth the story of the city`s discovery and find out what can be seen at the historical site today.
