05. No records about the exact “day” of the eruption. (5/6)

Hence this sad incident happened in 79AD, we cannot find any records about the exact date of the incident. However, a Roman writer named Pliny the Younger has stated the date as 24th of August. However, the archeologists who did the excavation were not ready to admit the date. They have found the cloth and archeological preserves under ash, and their opinion was that this date cannot be entirely accurate. So nobody knows the exact date of the incident.
