Subterrades in volcanic mud, has 2000 years, these
old cities of Roman, together summering almost at
bay of Naples, emerged of its long sleep, as one of the richest archaeological discoveries of all the times. To the dawn of day 24 of August of 79 d.C, nobody could guess the catastrophe that will be to happen. The bay was blue and seemed a mirror, at least not having a cloud in the sky. Although already direction was had, it has some a few days ago, fast land tremors, in the neighborhood. Such tremors were not rare and could become violent, but nothing of very serious. In that morning, in Herculano was celebrated festivitys in homage to the August Emperor (deceased á much time), having games, theater… the
streets had enormous frenesim human. Suddenly a violent sound cleaved airs, the ground it trembled and was breached, the light of the Sun was hidden for behind of a cinereous fog, that suffocated the nostrils and suddenly, a gigantic cloud with mushroom form, raised it the sky. The terror swept the streets and all the part, was it “saves who will be able”. At the same time the south, Pompeia had dramatical end the same.

Pompeia was to follow. Today, much of the secrets of the two cities had been disclosed. Unbroken houses, streets, store; figures mumificadas
