Pliny on Twitter Mt. Vesuvio just erupted

[Viggen]

Mt. Vesuvius is erupting, Pliny the Elder just said. On Twitter. Destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago, the Roman town of Pompeii was buried deep beneath ash and preserved following the catastrophe on Aug. 24 in the year AD 79. The city remained untouched for nearly 1,700 years, preserved as if in a time capsule. Now, 1,933 years later, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science is bringing the events back to life.
