Who HQ; What Was Pompeii? By Jim O'Connor

Who HQ; What Was Pompeii? By Jim O'Connor Ages 8+ The morning of August 24, AD 79, seemed like any other in the Roman city of Pompeii. So no one was prepared when the nearby volcano Mount Vesuvius suddenly erupted, spouting ash that buried the city and its inhabitants. The disaster left thousands dead, and Pompeii was no more than a memory for almost 1,700 years. In 1748, explorers rediscovered the port city with intact buildings and beautiful mosaics. This easy-to-read account is gripping and includes photos of the ruins. The book has been read with obvious signs of wear. It may have: damage to the cover or the binding but its structure is still intact. There may be possible writing in the margins and underlining and highlighting of text. There are no missing pages. There may be stains or signs of aging. *10% of all sales will be donated to a nonprofit* #whohq #books #learning #education #history
