On August 4 79 A.D., the volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted and completely buried the Roman city under a thick carpet of ash, killing Pompeii's population.
"EXCEPTIONAL" frescos of the Greek god of wine that reveal mystery cult rituals have been unearthed from ancient volcanic ash in Pompeii.
A British archaeologist working in Pompeii, Sophie Hay, added: “These were mystery cults, so what they did remains a mystery, even in the ancient written sources.”.
Pompeii was buried in volcanic ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.
POMPEII was once a very prosperous ancient Roman city on the Gulf of Naples, in Italy's Campania region.
