Vesuvius Day – August 24 :-
Vesuvius Day, which is observed annually on August 24, honors the explosion of Mount Vesuvius. We can presume that the ground sighs and trembles as it begins to boil and roll, despite the fact that most of us are unaware of what a volcano explosion looks like. A cloud of dark ash that spreads widely and travels with the wind is another sign of a volcano eruption. Finally, molten rock that is brilliant and incredibly hot pours down the hill and obliterates the environment and all life. Just a few of the indicators of a volcano eruption are included here. The Mount Vesuvius eruption, on the other hand, is thought to have been among the deadliest in recorded history.
VESUIVS DAY’S HISTORY :-
The first significant earthquake happened in 62 AD. Devastation spread around the Bay of Naples as a result, particularly in Pompeii. Days prior to the eruption, there were a few minor earthquakes, but few anticipated the scope of the devastation that would ensue. The number of lives lost was significant, and buildings and farmlands were completely destroyed. There were not many other casualties whose names have been preserved, save from Pliny the Elder. The Jewish princess Drusilla and her son Agrippa were a part of this. Some people think that the poet Caesius Bassus perished in the eruption. By 2003, about 1044 casts were created from the body impressions found in the ash layers from Pompeii.
