Pompeii was once baried under ash from a major volcano expolsion. 79 A.D. Mt. Vesuvius had a loung catasrophic eruption lasting two days. The volcano put 60 feet of ash over the city. Because of the ash it preserved the people that died from the eruption. You could almost say that popeii is a time capsul. You can see exactly what the people were doing just befor they died.

This was actually pretty interesting, I love your analogy about the time capsule. And the picture gives a fantastic visual.
