Pompeii And Its Destruction

Pompeii and its destruction

Pompeii! The Destroyed Tribe. Pompeii It is an ancient city in Italy, very close to the city of Naples.

It is wondered how Pompeii and its destruction took place.  It was built in the shape of a fish. It is estimated to have been founded in 5000 BC. The city of Pompeii, located very close to Mount Vesuvius, was buried metres below the ground with thousands of people when the volcano was activated on 24 October 79 AD.

Disaster Day In Pompeii

The day of the disaster could have been an ordinary day for many Roman cities. However, it was not at all like that for the city of Pompeii. While the city of Pompeii opened its eyes to the new day unaware of the disaster that would befall it, Mount Vesuvius had already reached the stage of a great explosion.

On that historical day, all hell broke loose in this city, which continued its life in pleasure. Vesuvius volcano started to move and started to scatter its angry lava around. The time of this city, which was about 30 kilometres close to Naples, was over. Some people tried to escape to their homes, others ran towards the sea. All their efforts were in vain.

All the people died under the volcanic ash. What remained was a ghost town and an ancient city with petrified human bodies. When the lava, ashes and clay from the mud rained down on the city of Pompeii, the people were petrified in their astonishment and remained in the form of statues.

This should be an indication that Allah shows us what the end of sins is for the people. People of Pompeii did not anticipate Mount Vesuvius The inhabitants . The city of Pompeii did not know that Vesuvius was a volcano that had not stirred for thousands of years. Everyone was used to the occasional small earthquakes. Perhaps for this reason, no one cared about the earthquakes before the eruption of the volcano.

According to estimates, the cityspeople were not destroyed by the erupting lava. The reason that turned the city of Pompeii into ruins could have been the poisonous gas emitted by the explosion and the ashes falling from the sky. For this reason, neither the people who took shelter in their homes nor those who ran to the harbour and went to the sea survived this disaster.

According to estimates, the volcanic movement, which continued for 2 days, buried the city of Pompeii, which was built on the outskirts, 6 metres underground.

In What Form Were The People Of Pompeii Found Under The Ground?

When the people of the city of Pompeii were removed from the ground in an intact state in the form of stone during historical excavations, they were found in the state of what they were busy with at the time of their death.

Some of them sat helplessly in front of the lava with their heads in their hands, some in the brothels of the city, and some under the lava with their children.

The petrified human bodies found during the excavations could not be explained by anyone. Because the petrified people found were frozen in whatever they were doing at that moment. A family eating a meal, a mother hugging her child….

Among the petrified corpses, many couples were found during their perversion. Among these couples there are male couples and, unfortunately, small boys and girls. The corpses of some people and the faces of others remained intact.

There is no verse in the Qur’an that mentions the people of Pompeii by naming a place or tribe.
However, in many verses, the disasters that befell many tribes in various cities are mentioned, some of them by giving names, and these verses seem to mention the city of Pompeii, which we see even today.

Surely Allah knows the truth. Pompeii and its destruction is expressed in the Quran as follows.

There was only a noise and they fell silent (Surah Yasin 29).

The People Of Pompeii Would Eat First And Then Vomit On Purpose

According to historians, the people of Pompeii used to eat first and then vomit what they ate using goose feathers. The reason for this was to be able to eat more and savour the taste of food to the fullest.

At the time of the earthquake, those who were heading towards the harbour in panic wanted to get on the ships and escape, but this did not happen because the sea swelled and threw all the ships back towards the shore.

The clouds of ash from the earthquake and explosions, as if signalling the catastrophe, flew as far as Anatolia, Syria and Egypt. In just a few hours, Pompeii, covering an area of 18 kilometres, was completely covered with lava. All 16 thousand inhabitants perished

How Were The Remains Of Pompei City Found?

The city of Pompeii emerged as a result of coincidence in the early 1700s, when an Italian peasant was working in his field. In 1800, Italian scientists started excavations in the city of Pompeii and could not hide their astonishment at the results of the excavations.

In the excavations, it was seen that human figures and human bodies, various animals, mothers hugging their children and everything found were petrified. The petrified corpses found are still exhibited in the museum.

It was understood from the excavations that the city of Pompeii was located in a very beautiful location on the seashore, trade was carried out at a high level, intellectuals and very rich people lived in the city together with the elite of the people.

It was also found that the city of Pompeii was the centre of perverted entertainment, and that the slaves in the city were killed by other slaves under the name of fighting in arena fights in the evenings just for the entertainment of the rich.

The Spartacus series will come to mind. What was described there was exactly like what happened in Pompeii. In a city full of pleasure, pleasure, prostitution, gambling, alcohol, homosexuality and sin, Pompeii is a place where everything savage and inhuman is experienced.

This shows that Pompeii was one of the tribes that perished from perversion. What is your opinion? Would you share it with us?
