The ancient city of Ercolano has not been fully excavated, as it was buried by a hot “cloud” with temperatures exceeding 100°C. This cloud transformed into a mud-like substance that preserved the materials, which were burned but not destroyed.
For instance, the ‘Villa dei Papiri’ is a library filled with charred books. However, through a recovery technique, these books have been unrolled and read, providing us with an invaluable wealth of knowledge from that era.
