“Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above but if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?” (Bastille 2013). For many people, there is more to Pompeii and the Bay of Naples than the eruption that led to the disappearance of Pompeii. That eruption preserved Pompeii and has allowed research in several disciplines to interact including those of archeology, history, classical studies, and geology to learn about the past. Thus, Pompeii has become a major site for interdisciplinary research and results.
