Pompeii: Mark Twain's horror human-interest story still electrifies!



You may have read that an important ancient building in Pompeii just collapsed. This comes at a time when I have made seven Mark Twain videos and the one above deals with Pompeii.

Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during an eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD which mummified many residents in stone. The city was lost for over 1,500 years before its accidental discovery in 1599.

Mark Twain visited Pompeii 143 years ago, but his horror human interest story still electrifies!
