Unfortunately, a lot of people died because the eruption was so violent and so unexpected, but...
Because the city was covered so quickly in volcanic ash and other debris from the eruption, when archaeologists started uncovering it, they found a nearly intact Roman city.
People had left almost everything right where it was as they ran away to get away from the burning, falling rocks and superheated gases and stuff.
So Pompeii and Herculaneum have told us so much over the years about what it was like to be a Roman in the first century C.E.,

The site of Pompeii was buried for generations, right?
Even though this really catastrophic event happened, the actual ruins of the city were mostly undisturbed.

It took until like the 1700s for any real excavations to happen.
In fact, during World War II, the ruins were actually bombed.
