Pompeii and Herculaneum are allegedly Roman era archeological sites in southern Italy. They are located near the Tyrrhenian coast, south of Naples. According to mainstream historiography, the towns were destroyed by the 79 AD large Plinian (the origin of the name) volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Europe's most active volcano.

The sites were discovered "by accident" between 1709 (Herculaneum) and 1738, when two palaces were built to host the artifacts found at the sites. Following the War of the Spanish Succession between the Bourbon and Habsburg families, the Kingdom of Naples changed rule to the Habsburgs (1711-1735), after which king Charles III of Spain became the ruler of Naples. He together with his wife and Emmanuel Maurice ordered the construction of various buildings around the time. Maurice was involved in the construction of villas with sculptors, painters and other builders, and as with his friend Charles III they were on site for decades.

Convicts were also used in the excavation of Pompeii.

Summary

79 AD

• the eruption could not have happened in 79 AD if we have multiple maps of the 16th and 17th centuries where both Pompeii and Herculaneum are shown
• only 1 witness account of this eruption exists, that by Pliny the Younger (the origin of the term Plinian eruption)
  • his account is not convincing

1631

• the account by Masculi (1633) about the eruption of Vesuvio in 1631 does exactly describe the events alleged to have happened in 79 AD
  • the description itself is convincing for the destruction of the two towns
  • various sources have described this account as describing those of 79 AD, or at least "very similar"

• according to historical documents, Herculaneum was discovered by accident in 1709
