Gone in an instant.

Pompeii was one of the most advanced cities of its time; it had a complex water system, gymnasium, and amphitheater. Despite its advancements, there was one thing it wasn't ready for: Mount Vesuvius - the volcano that led to its ultimate doom.

The 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius was one of the worst disasters in all of European history. In a near instant, over 15,000 people were dead and a city was completely destroyed.

This audiobook looks at the rise, fall, and rediscovery of the great city of Pompeii.

Juvenile, embarrassing, and off topic. Audible should have some minimal standards for the books they offer. A complete waste of time.

Horrible
