In the museum of Naples , there is a loaf of bread . Visitors stop and look at it every day . It is round , dark , and hard like stone . It is almost two thousand years old . The bread comes from Pompeii , a Roman town in the south of Italy . In the year 79 , the volcano Vesuvius erupted . In one day , hot ash covered the whole town . In Pompeii there was a baker . That morning , he put 81 loaves of bread into his oven . Then the sky turned black , and everyone ran away in fear . The ash closed the oven like a box . Inside the box , time stopped . The bread did not burn away . It turned black and hard . It kept its round shape for many centuries . Workers found the bakery again in 1862 . The 81 loaves of the baker were still in the oven . Almost every loaf had eight parts , like the slices of a pizza today . The old bread tells a simple story . One morning , a baker started his work . He never came back to his shop . But his bread waited for us , for two thousand years .
