What Actually Killed the People of Pompeii? (It Wasn’t Lava)
We all know the Hollywood version of Pompeii: a mountain explodes, and a river of glowing red lava instantly wipes out a city. It’s a terrifying cinematic image. But what if I told you it’s completely wrong? The true story of Pompeii's final 24 hours is much darker, and the real killers didn't strike instantly. In this deep dive by EmpireTimelapse, we strip away the myths and reconstruct the exact, terrifying sequence of events that actually doomed thousands of ancient Romans. It wasn't molten rock that buried them. It was something far more suffocating and entirely unexpected. If you think you know the story of Mount Vesuvius, think again. Prepare to rethink everything you know about the ancient world's most famous disaster. ⏱️ CHAPTERS & TIMELINE: 0:00 - The Hollywood Lava Myth 0:55 - Pompeii: The Crown Jewel (79 AD) 1:50 - August 24th: The Warning Tremors 2:45 - The Supersonic Blast 3:50 - The True Killer #1: The Pumice Rain 5:15 - The Sky Turns Pitch Black 6:20 - The True Killer #2: The Pyroclastic Surges 7:40 - The Final Breath (Asphyxiation) 8:20 - The Silent Casts & Aftermath 🤖 AI TRANSPARENCY DISCLAIMER: To bring this ancient history back to life, EmpireTimelapse utilized AI tools to assist with conceptual cinematic visuals and voiceover narration.
