What historical event fascinates you the most?
It has to be the eruption that caused Pompeii to be immortalised in time.
Imagine the inhabitants going about their daily business to have the air sucked out of their lungs and for their lifestyle to be preserved under 20 feet of volcanic dust.
When it was rediscovered in the 18th Century it was found to be mostly intact with the citizens frozen in time.
A wealthy lifestyle with an opulent way of life has given insight to living conditions in AD 79 and they seem to have been something to envy. A very sophisticated society with beautiful art and lavish homes.
Fascinating, because we consider our modern day society to be civilised with better living conditions than ancient times. I think we definitely have that wrong.
