Ancient Roman ruins reveal many secrets

Pompeii is an ancient Roman city, once home to more than 20 thousand people before it was completely destroyed by the earthquake of 79 AD. Documents left behind say that about 2,000 people died in this earthquake.

This discovery has helped archaeologists learn how the ancient Romans built and decorated their buildings. It will also help scientists find out why ancient structures such as the Roman Coliseum or the Pantheon still exist today, through many historical and geological changes.

In addition, the murals also help accurately depict the daily life of ancient Romans, with farming and living activities.
