Answer:

Pompeii after its destruction remains hidden from the world for a long time. Preserving the ruins is the current issues the city of Pompeii is facing.  

Explanation:

The city of Pompeii was part of the Roman Empire until its destruction by the Volcano eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. After its devastating outcome, the city remained as abandon for almost as many years until it was founded after excavation by the architect Domenico Fontana in 16th century (1748).

Since its discovery of Pompeii City, archaeologists are facing problems for preserving the ruins. Volcanic ashes protected Pompeii for a long time, now remain exposed by the excavators for many years. The tourists, pollution, weather have created a danger of losing much of the ruins.

To solve the issue of preserving the lost city The Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Pompeii and Moratorium is declared in 1999 to follow restriction on the sites for saving the ruins.

Explanation:

The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius during the 79 AD. The city was buried in pyroclast that ‘froze’ the city in time because the hot pyroclastic flow blanketed and charred everything ti touched including people who lived in the city at the time. Being buried under a thick layer of volcanic ash, the city was buried and forgotten until it was discovered in 1748 by a surveying engineer.

Today, part of the lost city has been exhumed and designated as a UN World Heritage Site. However, the numerous tourists it attracts are adding to the disintegration of the exhumed city. The walls and roofs are collapsing added to by the weathering effect of rain and sunlight. There is a race to save the city from total collapse including increased funding for research on how to preserve the city.
