About This Episode

Welcome to the biggest, oldest disaster story ever! Imagine living in a beautiful Roman city called Pompeii, almost 2,000 years ago. Everything is normal—people are baking bread, shopping, and playing outside. But nearby, a giant mountain is secretly waiting... Mount Vesuvius!

In 79 AD, this volcano exploded with an unbelievable force, sending ash and rock raining down faster than anyone could escape. The entire city was buried! This disaster was so massive that Pompeii was totally frozen in time, exactly as it was on that terrifying day. It’s like a massive time capsule built by a volcano!

Join Mira and Finn as we dig into the secrets of the ancient Romans, uncover the science behind epic volcanic eruptions, and figure out what it was like when Vesuvius went boom! Get ready for an action-packed journey back to the day the world stopped!
