The latter day ruin of Pompeii and Herculaneum, Italy - 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Nick Cornish / Rex Features ( 1213743w )
The Second Downfall Of Pompeii
In AD79 the Roman town of Pompeii was buried under an avalanche of ash after Mt Vesuvius erupted.
For those who lived in the ancient town the disaster was upon them so suddenly that there was no way to escape.
Tens of thousands were killed as death reined down upon them and the town was swallowed up - preserved for thousands of years under 4-6 metres of ash and pumice.
Today, Pompeii and its sister site Herculaneum are once again facing a crisis as an apathetic attitude finishes the job that Vesuvius started - destroying Pompeii forever.
For the ancient site, which attracts around two million tourists each year, is once again being buried - this time under a mountain of bureaucracy and indifference.
Following their burial Pompeii and Herculaneum were largely forgotten about for the next 1,500 years until their accidental rediscovery around 1592.
However, it wasn't until the late 18th century that a systematic evacuation of the sites got underway.
Fast forward to 1997 and the two towns were officially recognised by Unesco, which described them as "a complete and vivid picture of society and daily life at a specific moment in the past that is without parallel anywhere in the world".
And at one time this was a fitting description for the archaeological site, which has fascinated visitors through the ages.
In 1925 archaeologist Amedeo Maiuri was put in charge of the two sites and until his departure in 1961 he set about recreating the two cities' heyday.
However, with Maiuri gone this drive disappeared and slowly but surely Pompeii and Herculaneum have been deteriorating thanks to natural forces and human activity (both accidental and deliberate) .
Even when Unesco made its glowing praise of the sites the rot had already very obviously set in.

The Second Downfall Of Pompeii
In AD79 the Roman town of Pompeii was buried under an avalanche of ash after Mt Vesuvius erupted.
For those who lived in the ancient town the disaster was upon them so suddenly that there was no way to escape.
Tens of thousands were killed as death reined down upon them and the town was swallowed up - preserved for thousands of years under 4-6 metres of ash and pumice.
Today, Pompeii and its sister site Herculaneum are once again facing a crisis as an apathetic attitude finishes the job that Vesuvius started - destroying Pompeii forever.
For the ancient site, which attracts around two million tourists each year, is once again being buried - this time under a mountain of bureaucracy and indifference.
Following their burial Pompeii and Herculaneum were largely forgotten about for the next 1,500 years until their accidental rediscovery around 1592.
However, it wasn't until the late 18th century that a systematic evacuation of the sites got underway.
Fast forward to 1997 and the two towns were officially recognised by Unesco, which described them as "a complete and vivid picture of society and daily life at a specific moment in the past that is without parallel anywhere in the world".
And at one time this was a fitting description for the archaeological site, which has fascinated visitors through the ages.
In 1925 archaeologist Amedeo Maiuri was put in charge of the two sites and until his departure in 1961 he set about recreating the two cities' heyday.
However, with Maiuri gone this drive disappeared and slowly but surely Pompeii and Herculaneum have been deteriorating thanks to natural forces and human activity (both accidental and deliberate) .
Even when Unesco made its glowing praise of the sites the rot had already very obviously set in.
