Drag the little yellow icon to the spots where you'd like to walk around. Things to notice and find: a theatre, a stadium, streets with raised sidewalks, a large central governmental area. Parents: be aware that there are some fossilized people, but they might appear to children to be cement statues.
Pompeii:
Unraveling Ancient Mysteries
On August 23, 79 AD, Pompeii looked like any other busy, prosperous
city. People were moving about, trading goods, news, and friendly
talk. Three days later, on August 26, all of these sounds had
fallen silent, and the place itself had vanished. Almost nothing
was seen of Pompeii for more than 1500 years.
