Yes it did. In 79 AD the eruption of Valcano Mount Vesuvius completely buried Pompeii and its sister city, Herculaneam. they were accidentally rediscovered over 1,500 years later in 1599 when they were digging sewage lines. Pompeii was buried in ash and herculaneum was covered in boiling mud. in fact, in herculaneum, the people who were trapped in the mud the bodies have disinegrated, leaving plaster like casts in the excact positions that the bodies were when they died.

The city of Pompeii, which was buried by a tremendous volcanic eruption from Mt Vesuvius in August of the year AD 79, was rediscovered in 1748.
It was a chance discovery in 1599 by men digging an underground channel to divert the river Sarno.
The bodies were not stone, but they had been covered in ash which then hardened, creating hallows where the bodies were. The people who uncovered Pompeii poured plaster into the holes creating plaster casts.
It is famous for the 79 CE eruption that buried the Roman town and preserved it perfectly for over 1500 years until it was finally rediscovered.
The city of Pompeii was buried under layers of ash and pumice when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Over time, the memory of Pompeii faded as it became buried and abandoned. It wasn't until excavations in the 18th century that the city was rediscovered and its significance fully realized.
Pompeii was buried as a result of a two day eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, and accidentally rediscovered in 1748. It seems that excavations have been going on since the 1750's through the 1860's... so at least more than 100 years. So the answer is that Pompeii was buried for approximately 1700 years.
According to the History Channel's website, the Roman city of Pompeii was completely buried by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 A.D. According to the Ancient History Encyclopedia's website, Pompeii remained buried until it was rediscovered in 1755 A.D. Both of these are good sources if you would like to read more about the ancient city of Pompeii.
Archaeologists did not find anything after Pliny the Younger. Pliny the Younger only described the eruption of Mount Vesuvius when it happened in 79. Pompeii was first discovered in 1599 during works to divert a local river, but the uncovered areas were covered again. Pompeii was rediscovered again in 1748 and the first archaeological excavations started in 1764.
