Imagine a volcano so powerful it may have wiped out entire groups of Neanderthals—and now, it’s rumbling back to life! The Campi Flegrei, near Naples, Italy, last erupted thousands of years ago, but scientists are picking up signs it might not be done just yet. This “supervolcano” once unleashed ash and gases that darkened skies and changed climates, possibly ending the Neanderthals’ world. Now, with new tremors and rising temperatures underground, it’s like a sleeping giant stirring awake. Experts are keeping a close watch, studying every shake and shiver to predict if or when it could blow again. Could we witness another epic eruption from this ancient powerhouse? Only time will tell!
