The volcano, Mt. Vesuvius, erupted over the city of Pompeii, Italy in 79 A.D.  Upon excavation of the city, an entire soapmaking factory was revealed, including bars of soap preserved in the hardened lava. An ancient Roman legend is where soap got it's name from. On Mount Sapo, animals were sacrificed. Rain water washed down the mountain through this mixture of melted animal fats and wood ashes into the Tiber River below.  Women doing their wash at the river noticed clothes coming cleaner that were exposed to this soapy mixture of saponified acid (fats) and alkali (caustic ashes). However no doubt, this same mixture could have occurred any time since humans began cooking meat over fires, invariably dripping fat into ash, and a soapy substance could have bubbled up in rain or spilled water. https://www.ancientalchemysoaps.com/the-history-of-soapmaking
