Earth movement is not a punishment from your god. God is a delusion, and a violent delusion at that. Your violent delusions are responsible for over 3 millenia of Crimes Against Humanity. And those crimes are what you carry in your psyche, feeling paranoid and like god will getcha. And when in delusion, you don't know the reality of your environment, and treat it like it's without its own intelligence but that's what's really happening. Mother Earth is having an event that is tied to something else going on the planet. it's not fkn personal. But the idea that human beings think earth movements are personally targeted towards them is symptomatic of delusional persecutions and SCHIZOPHRENIA.

The 79AD eruption happened in late October or early November, not in August. A recent archeological find in Pompeii proves that the city was still intact in mid October of 79AD.
There's always been doubt about the August date because chestnuts were on sale in the markets, and the left over from pressed grapes were found. Both the chestnuts and grapes are not ready for harvest until about October. There no way they could have been selling chestnuts or making wine in August.

Humans being humans, despite this clear danger, settlements were built
So basically, you don't know what you're talking about. Vesuvius was simply a steep-sided mountain to the Romans. They had never seen it erupt, and they didn't understand the concept of a volcano.
Also, people died of both fumes and, later, the superheated pyroclastic flow. We know this because of the positions of preserved bodies.

Correction: the volcano erupted at 1PM and no, the pyroclastic flows did not kill the people of Pompeii instantly, Herculaneum died instantly due to the heat whereas Pompeii is further from the volcano which means the gases suffocated the victims until they eventually passed. Herculaneum was buried first.

I remember visiting Pompeii years ago with my parents and the plaster casts are sobering. Although death would have been relatively quick, the expression on the faces of some of the victims and the plaster cast of a dog in its death throes indicates it would have been painful and distressing.

During the Allied occupation of that territory in WW2, Sir Christopher Lee, while stationed there with the RAF (I believe, he may have been with the OSS by then, actually freakin climbed Vesuvius just days before that eruption. Yet another tally on Sir Lee's incredible life.

Wouldn't Vesuvius erupting create a refugee crisis regardless of whether or not we see it coming? The only reason to monitor it beyond scientific data would be to save lives. The cities closest would surely still be ruined anyway, thus still creating a bit of refugee crisis, no?

Pompeii's misfortune was to be downwind from Vesuvius. The major city of Naples is actually closer but was not in the path of the debris field when the volcano blew. Pompeii was a prosperous resort for the wealthy, more like a Palm Springs. The commoners of Naples were spared.

It's amazing how many people stayed behind even with the amount of hours that went by before the flow. I'll never understand that but the same thing happens at other eruptions, even in modern times. People are stubborn.
Also, this happened on my birthday

In my country one of the active volcano is called Taal located in Batangas City Philippines is quite interesting and horrifying at the same time, it blows-up last year and many people on that island got affected by it and destroyed their livelyhood.

If buried under ash from a major eruption a person should try to a leave cavity of their self flying the bird, swimming backstroke, picking their nose, whatever would make an interesting plaster cast for some lucky explorer in the future.

Only approximately 15% of the city has been cleared of ash and detritus. Thats an incredible amount of undiscovered still buried history waiting to be re-discovered! One of my favorite places to read about

New Yorker did an article on pompeii's uncovered areas it was historically a retreat area and was popular with leisure pursuers and also buildings had some preserved art on walls of common gods.

It'd e cool if people would pool their money to rebuild ancient cities and towns, if not to see what it looks like then to live there again. Although, I wouldn't want to live near Vesuvius

Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii 1972 is an amazing movie. Just the band playing for the lost spirits of a ghost town destroyed over a thousand years before.
