Five Pics & Five Lines — Guess Where I Am Roaming!

Speechless, shocked, astonished. This is how I felt whilst walking around a historical place not long ago.

A burning catastrophe.

A blanket of ash preserving the past.

Frozen (e)motions of victims striving for survival.

Remains of temples, villas, forums, brothels. Traces of abundance.

A mesmerizing discovery in the 18th century that started to unfold history buried under the ash.

Have you figured out where I took these pics?

Have you also visited this place?

If not, you can read fascinating discoveries about its history here and here.
