Pompeii Trailer

"And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above"

Bastille - "Pompeii"

 

 

Buried in the Earth near Naples in Italy lies an ancient Roman city destroyed by the fury of the planet. The huge city which can be seen in a world heritage site in ruin over a vast area close to the city of Naples was levelled in 79 AD by a catastrophic eruption of Mt Vesuvius.
