On August 24, 79 AD, restless maintenance, Sufeng, and the volcano struck again. A dragon-like fire shot into the sky, followed by an ear-shattering explosion. Yet, the residents of Pompeii, the ancient city below, had grown accustomed to such events. They seemed fully prepared for what was to come, much like seasoned gladiators facing hungry beasts, without fear. But this time, it was truly different. Scalding lava and mudflows surged down, engulfing everything in flames and turning life to ash! A civilized city was thus buried, and the civilization of a city vanished forever.
