How do you spell pompeii

Question

it's a small island in italy, once booming with people but soon after it was destroyed by a volcano.

Answer 1

Pompeii just like you spelled it. Pompeii was destroyed by a Volcano in Naples, I know because I used to live in Italy. However forgot how to spell Vesuvius...

Answer 2

pompeii

like what you said

and it was destroyed by Mt Vesuvius  

Answer 3

The same way you do, Pompeii. Not to be confused with Roman politician, former ally of Julius Caesar, and later co-conspirator in his death, Pompey.

Answer 4

Pompeii

Pompeii is not an island.

Today it is some distance inland, but in ancient times it would have been nearer to the coast.

The coastline has changed due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Answer 5

You almost have it. You need a capital 'P' at the beginning.

Answer 6

Pompeii is spelled correctly, but it's not an island, it's a town.

Answer 7

pomp ehy

I'm not joking, "ehy" :)

Somebody would say "pompay" but the last syllable (the stressed one) need an open sound.

Pompei was not an island but was a city; a port, at the time.

Modern day Pompei is near the old one, with a population of near 25000.
