The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, were mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. (from Wiki)
I arrived at this city with a little bit of drizzling from the sky. Looking at the ruins, corroded by rain, is a mixed feeling. The city which was frozen in time by the volcanic eruption, is perhaps one of the most exciting finding in the archaeologist history of all time. Yet according to my informants, there are insufficient funding to fully excavate and protect the place. Many of the sites are fenced, but not worked on. One site is covered, seems visitable with plasma monitor installed, but closed from public. The city is huge, takes time to explore, but lay down to corrode and collect dust.
