Description
Walking among the ruins of Pompeii was unlike any ancient site I've visited before or since. There's something so different about a place that was so suddenly and completely silenced. Pompeii wasn't some temple that fell into ruin or a city that slowly declined. Pompeii was suddenly and violently snuffed by the infamous volcano, Vesuvius.
Excavations at Pompeii have been ongoing for quite some time now, but it's still eerie to walk down those streets, to see the architecture and streets, a sort of hollow echo of the past but at the same time an incredible insight into ancient Roman life.
