Pompeii was a thriving Roman city of 20,000 people in 79 AD. Then, on August 24, Mount Vesuvius erupted, spewing molten lava and ash 3 miles into the air. Within hours, the ash settled on the city and covered it thirty feet deep. The hot ash killed many people and buried the town for 1700 years! Excavation began in the mid-1700s, and today, we have a pristine look back at ancient Pompeii.
During almost every episode of TTT, David prepares and shares one if his favorite recipes. Tonight, Flat Bread Pizza is on the menu.
