    Unraveling complexity is something that comes naturally to August 24 people.  They love puzzles of all types, paradoxes and riddles.  To say that they themselves are sometimes difficult to follow is an understatement.  Those born on this day may be difficult to pin down or understand, they themselves rarely feel lost.

    In order to uncover the truth, it is possible that an August 24 person will not only dig into books and human character, but also literally dig into the earth, search the skies and look into the seas to explore the wonders of nature.  Their hobbies and perhaps their careers reflect this desire for discovery.

Vesuvius erupts

After centuries of dormancy, Mount Vesuvius erupts in southern Italy, devastating the prosperous Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing thousands. The cities, buried under a thick layer of volcanic material and mud, were never rebuilt and largely forgotten in the course of history. In the 18th century, Pompeii and Herculaneum were rediscovered and excavated, providing an unprecedented archaeological record of the everyday life of an ancient civilization, startlingly preserved in sudden death.
