Scientists say they have discovered a new Pompeii on one of the
tropical islands of Indonesia, a town preserved under the ash from the
biggest volcanic eruption of modern times.
The researchers believe that what they have uncovered are the last
remains of a civilisation that was wiped out by the cataclysmic
eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 on the island of Sumbawa.
