The two other cities were buried under mud and volcanic debris. Archaeologists have determined what life was like in Roman times from the volcanic-ash-preserved remains of the cities. Vesuvius is still active. 1869 - Cornelius Swarthout patents waffle iron 1853 - 1st potato chips prepared by Chef George Crum (Saratoga Springs New York) 1891 - Thomas Edison patents motion picture camera.
