Imagine surviving a volcanic apocalypse, then moving back to your old city—literally on top of the ruins! That’s what happened in Pompeii. New digs show people returned after Vesuvius erupted, living in upper floors while the ground level was buried in ash. It was total chaos: scavengers, survivors, and anyone desperate for a home made a new life in the ruins for centuries. Think ancient squatters’ paradise, but with more ash and fewer rules. #History #Pompeii #Archaeology
