Le 24 août de l'an 79, à midi, le Vésuve entre en éruption et engloutit Pompéi sous quinze mètres de pierre ponce et de cendres. Parmi les vestiges les plus poignants du site figurent les moulages de corps pétrifiés dans la mort de ceux qui furent piégés dans la ville, n'ayant pu fuir à temps. Pour mieux connaître les habitants de la cité, des archéologues analysent au scanner les ossements emprisonnés dans le plâtre des moulages. Bains publics, arènes de gladiateurs, forums, temples et villas romaines sont reconstitués en images 3D pour prendre la mesure des fresques et des mosaïques qui ornaient les plus somptueux édifices, et qui sont aujourd'hui patiemment restaurées.
