The official version of the tragedy
On August 24, 79, Vesuvius erupted. It was so strong that it completely destroyed three cities - Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabia. About a tenth of the population died - about 2 thousand people. True, the remains of the dead were found outside the city, so no one knows the exact number of the dead.
The city was buried under volcanic rocks. The bottom layer consists of stones and small pieces of plasma. Its thickness is on average 7 meters. Then comes a two-meter layer of ash. In total, it turns out about 9 meters, but in some places the thickness of the rubble was much greater.

The ancient Roman scientist Pliny the Younger told about the eruption that destroyed the city in his letter to Tacitus. It is believed that nothing was known about the cities buried under the ashes before the construction of a water conduit from the river. Sarno, which was built in 1592 by the architect Domenico Fontana. Serious excavations began only in 1748 and are still considered not excavated 20 - 23% of the entire area of Pompeii.
15 reasons to doubt
1) In the very letters of Pliny, there are no dates and indications of the time of the disaster. The date is derived from the chronology of the Ancient world of Scaliger (as they wrote the history - in the material Comrade, believe: the history of the past is the door to the future!), Which today is quite successfully contested by astronomical calculations and mathematical algorithms of the New Chronology (for more details - What is "New Chronology" ? Briefly).

2) No one has seen the artifacts that should confirm the date of the death of the city in the originals, only copies are shown everywhere.
3) 15 kilometers from Naples, there is still a monument with an epitaph dedicated to the eruption of Vesuvius in 1631. This epitaph, embossed in 1738, describes the events of a terrible volcanic eruption. The list of affected cities mentions the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum (which could not have been according to the official version of history).
Epitaph of 1738.
4) In the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, a fresco from a Pompeian excavation is exhibited. It is an exact copy of Raphael's famous painting "The Three Graces" of 1504, down to the poses and the smallest details of the composition. Either Leonardo da Vinci invented and donated a time machine to Raphael, or the owner of the villa in Pompeii knew about Raphael's painting and ordered medieval interior designers to make a copy of the painting that was famous at that time.
The fresco and the painting are like two drops of water!
5) Excavating Pompeii and Herculaneum, archaeologists did not expect to find written monuments made on soft materials - on papyrus, linen or parchment. After all, during the eruption of the volcano, everything that could burn was destroyed. But a miracle happened: in Herculaneum, in the 18th century, a whole library was found - one thousand eight hundred Greek papyri!
In one of the restored texts on Pompeian papyri, diacritical marks were found - accents and aspirations, which, along with punctuation and ligatures, came into use only in the Middle Ages, and received their completion only with the beginning of printing.
6) Pompeian instruments are practically indistinguishable in form and technique of execution from modern ones, perhaps made of bronze. Perfect right angle corner, compasses, tweezers, dental instruments, scalpels … Pay attention to the thread of the gynecological instrument. And is it sliced without a lathe? It is not necessary to speak of screws of such quality, which is in the artifacts of the Nepolitan Museum, before the end of the 15th century!
How did they manage to make it in 79?
7) In 1738, during the excavations of Pompeii, two excellent trombones were discovered, forged from bronze and with gold mouthpieces. However, the formation of the technology for the manufacture of these musical instruments dates back not earlier than from the 16th century.
8) Standard hardened medieval bricks made on a belt press were used during construction. All Naples and Rome were built from absolutely identical bricks.
9) A water tap, which is a sealed structure of three parts: a body, a bushing with a through hole and a shut-off cylindrical valve lapped to it. It is hard to imagine that this can be done using primitive tools, “on the knee”.
The crane is almost a complete copy of the modern one.
10) One of the frescoes depicts a pineapple, but this fruit appeared in Europe only after the discovery of America, in the 15th century.
The pineapple is at the top, on the right there really is! Where from?
11) In Pompeii, found items from bottle glass, perfume bottles for colored glass of different shades, many absolutely transparent thin-walled items.
Glass vases are depicted in numerous Pompeian frescoes excavated under the ashes of the city. However, the first transparent glass was obtained only in the middle of the 15th century. And the secret of the production of such glass for a long time, like the apple of an eye, was protected from competitors. In addition, in Herculaneum, large standard glass panes were found - 45x44 cm and 80x80 cm. But the first known window panes began to be made only in 1330, and the first such standard window glass was produced by the modern rolling method only in 1688.
12) The frescoes depict edged weapons of the 16-17 centuries - sabers and musketeer swords.

13) The supply and main pipes of the most complex water supply system in Pompeii are made of lead. In England, for example, even today, many old houses have the same lead pipes. It should be noted that until the Middle Ages, tin was not distinguished from lead.
Kilometers of such lead pipes have been laid.
14) A large number of iron parts were found, which by definition cannot be in the Bronze Age - locks, door handles, hinges, bolts, latches.
15) The aqueduct of the papal engineer-architect Domenico Fontana, laid for the operation of powder mills and crossing the city for 1700 m (the engineer, by the way, did not mention the discovery of the buried city anywhere). The depth of the water conduit is insignificant in relation to the zero level of Pompeii and, with the exception of one section, the conduit goes everywhere under the streets, walls of houses, neatly skirting more or less significant religious buildings (it is simply impossible to build underground, especially in compliance with all slopes!) …
The design and appearance of the water conduit leaves no doubt that the water conduit was not built by the mine method of horizontal driving, but by the trench method, with excavation, laying walls and vaults "in a wedge" in the open air.
A two-kilometer tunnel cannot be built in volcanic soil without forced ventilation of the mine. The poisonous gas released from volcanic soils makes it impossible to carry out any underground work without effective ventilation, with which a mine working according to the scheme would resemble the Titanic, with a main tunnel and huge "pipes" for ventilation. Instead of such structures, we see ordinary city wells.
Consequently, the water conduit was laid through the existing city!
Eventually
Considering all of the above, serious doubts arise not only in the generally accepted date of the death of Pompeii, but also in the letters of the "ancient Roman" historian associated with them, and, as a consequence, in the "Chronology of the Ancient World" by Scaliger and Petavius.
It is interesting that the official science does not comment on the indicated FACTS in any way.
