Lost Civilization of Sumbawa
Scientists Claim to Find Lost Civilization
Scholars have learned quite a bit about cities such as Pompeii and Herculaneum in Italy by digging deep into the aftermath of Vesuvius. They have learned some things about the people of Troy and Alexandria.
But a discovery of a different civilization is exciting everyone around the world.
April 10, 1815 is a relatively recent event, making this find particularly interesting because we have recent accounts of the people and civilization before Sumbawa Island was destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Tambora.
We can also begin to understand how the people in the path of Mt. Vesuvius must have suffered even though they were not as close as Pompeii.
The results of the eruption of Mt. Tambora were felt around the world, causing significant atmospheric changes.
