Mount Vesuvius

Archaeologists have uncovered the skeletons of a man and a woman in Pompeii, offering new insights into the tragic events of the city's destruction during the Mount Vesuvius eruption in A.D. 79. The skeletons were found in a small room, with the woman's remains discovered near valuable items including gold coins and a pair of gold-and-pearl earring...

Using optical imaging, thermal imaging and tomography, researchers have identified 1,000 words, or roughly 30 per cent of the text written by Philodemus.

Three researchers on Monday won a $700,000 prize for using artificial intelligence to read a 2,000-year-old scroll that was scorched in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

The scroll was deciphered by a 21-year-old computer science student Luke Farritor as part of the Vesuvius Challenge.

The Roman city of Pompeii, which was buried under metres of pumice and ash from the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, is being preserved by a herd of grazing sheep.

When the man and his family reached the top of the 4,000-foot-high volcano, they decided to celebrate the occasion by clicking a selfie.

Pompeii archaeologists said Saturday they have unearthed the remains of a "slave room" in an exceptionally rare find at a Roman villa destroyed by Mount Vesuvius' eruption nearly 2,000 years ago.

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a man in Pompeii who they believe survived the first blast of Mount Vesuvius only to be crushed by a stone block launched by the volcanic cloud as he was attempting to flee nearly 2,000 years ago.

By combining traditional archaeology with 3D technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have reconstructed a house in Pompeii to its original state before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius many centuries ago.

Across the bay of Naples from Pompeii, where thousands were incinerated by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, lies a hidden "super volcano" that could kill millions in a catastrophe many times worse, scientists say.

Six men climbed down into the crater of a volcano in Italy on Monday, in protest at the closure of the organisation they worked for which maintained trekking paths on Mount Vesuvius, near Naples.
