It began as an ordinary morning. 24 hours later, the city of Pompeii was erased from the map. But what really happened in those final, terrifying hours?

This isn't just a documentary; it's a minute-by-minute reconstruction of the last day of Pompeii, told as a ticking clock to oblivion. Using stunning visuals and the latest archaeological evidence, we transport you back to August 24, 79 AD, to witness the eruption of Mount Vesuvius as never before.

We trace the final moments of its real residents:

Modestus, the baker whose 81 loaves of bread were found still in the oven.

Lucius Caecilius, the wealthy banker whose records survived.

Eumachia, the powerful priestess.

The tragic "Lovers of Pompeii," found in a final embrace.

From the first massive explosion at 1:00 PM to the "rain of terror" that collapsed roofs, and from the longest, darkest night to the final, fatal pyroclastic surge that instantly froze the city in time. This is the story of how a city died, and in doing so, was preserved for eternity.

The stories of Pompeii are written in the artifacts they left behind. What single piece of evidence from the ruins do you find the most haunting? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
