By 1748, archaeologists had begun to uncover, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. They had started to uncover the ancient city of Pompeii. Pompeii is like a "time capsule" preserving a frozen monument in history. Before the eruption, it had been a thriving Roman city with temples, markets, restaurants and theatres. Today you can visit these buildings, by walking along the original streets of the city. You can also see works of art, such as statues and colorful mosaics on walls, and you can see objects that people used in everyday life, such as tools and kitchen utensils. But much more than buildings and objects, it is the forms of the people who were caught in the disaster, that have captured the imaginations of millions of people across the world. The bodies of people, who died in Pompeii, had decayed many centuries before archaeologists arrived. But these bodies had left an impression in the ash that showed their exact shapes. We can see people huddled together to comfort each other in their last hours of life.
