Italy trip 2007 part 3

Pompeii

For those who read the Qur'an,the Pompeii has been mentioned in the Qur'an. It was a city which had crossed over all types of sins e.g. the numerous brothels existed around the city. The people of Pompeii were defiant in their ways and were not willing to change. Allah decided to destroy the city by sending a volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius which destroyed the whole city in an instant.

Some of the people were too stuck in their ways that they didn't even have the chance to flee and were buried in the hot, burning lava from the volcano.

I wanted to visit Pompeii to see for myself what this city looked like. It is a massive area..and as I was doing a day trip I was not able to cover the whole area. It was interesting to see all the artefacts and there is still ongoing excavation work going on as more artefacts and buildings are found related to this once lost city.......
