Timelines: 79 CE in Pompeii, Teotihuacán, and Aksum - Ep 157

Everyone knows that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE buried the Roman town of Pompeii in volcanic ash, abruptly ending its time as a flourishing port city on the Bay of Napes. But, what what else was happening in the ancient world at the same time? In this Timelines episode, we begin by chatting about Pompeii and it's unfortunate demise in segment one. Then we move over to Central America, where Teotihuacán is entering its monumental architecture building phase at the same time. And finally, in segment three we look at the Kingdom of Aksum, which was growing into a thriving trade town on the route between Rome, the middle east and India. These three very similar, yet very different stories were taking place at the same time of approximately 79 CE around the world!
