Video - Echoes of Vesuvius: The Forgotten Eruption

"You’ve heard of Pompeii… but not this. This is a true story — and it really happened." The year is 472 A.D. The Western Roman Empire is collapsing. But nature was about to strike a final blow… from deep beneath the Earth. Mount Vesuvius — the same volcano that destroyed Pompeii centuries earlier — erupts again. But this time, it’s even bigger. Ash clouds spread so far, they darkened the skies as far as Constantinople — nearly 1,500 kilometers away. Crops failed across Europe. Famine followed. Some regions saw no summer that year. And yet… this eruption was almost forgotten. Buried under the fall of empires, wars, and silence. Historians would piece it together centuries later — from ice cores in Greenland, and ancient records from monks who described “a year without sun.” One eruption. One forgotten moment. And the world was never the same. "The past isn’t just stories… it’s echoes that still shape us. Which side of history would you be on?"
