HISTORY MEME: {2/10 Natural Disasters} - Pompeii
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, is hundreds of thousands of years old and has erupted more than 50 times. Its most famous eruption took place in the year 79 A.D., when the volcano buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick carpet of volcanic ash. The dust “poured across the land” like a flood, one witness wrote, and shrouded the city in “a darkness…like the black of closed and unlighted rooms.” Two thousand people died, and the city was abandoned for almost as many years.
When a group of explorers rediscovered the site in 1748, they were surprised to find that—underneath a thick layer of dust and debris—Pompeii was mostly intact. The buildings, artifacts and skeletons left behind in the buried city have taught us a great deal about everyday life in the ancient world. x

Robert Fludd (1574-1637) was an English physician who had a very broad knowledge and wrote books on many subjects such as anatomy, optics, hydraulic engineering, alchemy, astrology, mystical math, geomancy and rosicrucianism.
The Hyle Triangle is a design from Fludd’s book ‘Utriusque Cosmi Historia’ written in 1617 and is an attempt to define the intersecting relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds. Fludd wrote that it may be impossible to define and one can only come close by using an analogy.
