'The volcano of the Lord' is about to bury priceless human possessions?

The famous volcano in Tanzania, East Africa is believed to be able to wake up at any time, wiping out historic sites dating back millions of years in the surrounding area.

According to the Daily Star, the new study shows that the volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai is 2,331 meters high in Tanzania that can wake up 'any moment'.

If the East African volcano exploded, scientists feared that the black smoke and ash fly into the sky could create irreparable damage to the historic sites.

Experts are also concerned about the debris falling around when the volcano erupted, erasing human footprints from 3.6 million years ago.

Volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai or "Lord's volcano" is only about 112km from Lake Natron, near the village of Engare Sero. This place holds 400 human footprints, dating back to 19,000 years.

Answering National Geographic, Dr. Sarah Stamps, an American geophysicist said volcanic eruptions will erase historical relics forever.

The team has been monitoring volcanoes since 2016 and is concerned that it is ready to erupt. Recent geological activities make scientists believe that volcanoes can wake up 'immediately'.

'Immediately means in a coming moment, a week, a month or a year to come,' said Dr. Stamps. 'We see an increase in ash, earthquakes and even cracks on the volcanic peak in the west'.

Cynthia Liutkus-Pierce, a geologist at Appalachian State University, North Carolina, USA, agrees: 'The ash spread when the volcano erupts will erase the surrounding historic sites. That is the most concern for this area. '

Earlier this year, the volcano Campi Flegrei in Naples, Italy was also thought to be ready to erupt, possibly causing half a million people to experience disaster.
