Description: BBC Documentary on the final days of the ancient city of Pompei. Step back in time and visit the "vanished city" on its last day as the mighty volcano Vesuvius explodes in a 24-hour reign of terror. On August 24th AD79 Pompeii's citizens witness day turning into night as 4 billion tons of pumice rock and ash burst forth from Vesuvius. Inspired by the written descriptions of Pliny the Younger (whose detailed observations were later vindicated by geological science), recovered artifacts, and the haunting remains of Pompeii citizens preserved under tons of pumice and ash, Pompeii: The Last Day unravels the mystery of those final hours. Lavish special effects reconstruct each stage of Vesuvius's cataclysmic eruption and its impact on soldiers slaves families and lovers as they struggle with the unfolding tragedy. One of the greatest natural disasters - and most fateful days - comes to vivid life in this critically acclaimed dramatization.
