Horse in Pompeii – level 2

Horse in Pompeii

15-05-2018 07:00

Italian police intercepted tunnels built by thieves last August. The tunnels led to Pompeii with valuable artefacts.

In the one tunnel, archaeologists found a horse, which died in the eruption in ad 79. The horse is quite big, and people think that it belonged to a rich family.

Difficult words: intercept (stop, cut off), valuable artefact (a historical thing which now costs a lot of money), AD (after the birth of Jesus).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
