@Lvraiderchinkgang You might wanna take some basic grammar before you continue trying to insult random people on the internet. (It'll make you seem less dumb.)
When I went to visit Pompeii, the craziest thing to me was that people built a “New Pompeii” literal miles from the original. With the volcano still being active!
Tour guide in the year 4020: "And here you can see 21st Century tourists frozen in horror, as they look at the preserved bodies of 1st Century tourists, who are also frozen in horror".
The Pompeii amphitheatre also (I believe) holds the record for longest time between two consecutive public performances for any venue for that purpose. When David Gilmour performed a concert in the amphitheatre in 2016 it marked 1937 years since the last public performance in 79 (shortly before the volcano erupted)
Pink Floyd did a concert there in 72 as well although nobody attended. Your point probably still stands tho. I’ve never thought about it that way. Pretty wicked.
Pompeii was truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, especially as an artist and history buff. I will never forget what I saw and learned there. The gas and ash PERFECTLY preserved works of art all over the city! The bodies, I learned, aren't the actual bodies, but plaster casts of the cavities left behind once the bodies decomposed. The bones have been preserved though in the plaster. The city is a goddamn archeological GOLDMINE and I would give anything to go back again!!
I was looking for a comment that stated the fact about the plaster casts, I was there in 2018 and that’s what I learned, that they actually poured plaster in the cavities to make the body shapes we can now see of the people who died that day, I loved the place and would also love to go back one day
Also from a practical standpoint, Pompeii is immensely important to our understanding of Roman society as most of our evidence for everyday life (although somewhat skewed as this was a very rich city), comes from archeological evidence unearthed at Pompeii. Thats why it has continued to fascinate us since its re-discovery.
Since they had no concept of volcanoes back them, from the perspective of people living in pompeii it genuinely looked like they were being punished by the gods or the entire world was ending. At least nowadays if a volcano killed you, you could know what it was in your final moments but if you've never seen or have any concept of what a volcano is; that would be scary and dooming.
I've read that since Yellowstone is a super volcano, it will wipe out pretty much all of North America when/if it blows. You'll never know what hit you. I'm down in Florida, probably just far enough to survive the inital blast and die in some godawful way a few weeks later. Cheers.

I'd rather be incinerated immediately rather than slowly suffocate while burning and cooking alive, so that's a very tiny win in my book for their final moments.
@@ahmadmuhammad6200 Why? Would not saying it make not happen? He ain't God and it's been scientifically proven that one of these days Yellowstone will erupt. They just don't know if it will be a partial or full eruption
I was fortunate enough to visit Italy and Pompeii last summer studying abroad. It was amazing and so surreal seeing petrified people in their last moments alive. Sad and cool at the same time
Yeah I thought that. The only way they could possibly linked the two is if during the earthquake they saw some lava coming out from it. Even then that'd be hard to tell if it didn't do anything for another decade or so.
Ive been to both Pompeii and Herculaneum - it's quite a site to see - time capsules of peoples arms reaching up to the heavens as they suffocate and are preserved forever in that state. Makes you really realize that life is fleeting and to thank God every day we were not wiped out by such a disaster. I would recommend anyone going to Italy to go there - plus Naples rocks!

D. S. Do you think the people of Pompeii thanked your god for what he did to them?
Prowler Cam obviously not, being as they were Romans, they were probably screaming towards Jupiter or Pluto to save their wretched souls. Don’t be ignorant, read a book.
@@VesuviusGaming-um5yn very true. If it had a vei 5-6 eruption now it could easily overtake the 1815 Tambora eruption as the deadliest in history since millions of people live in Vesuvius’s danger zone and evacuations would be very difficult since a lot of the buildings in that area are not built up to seismic code. The only way that it would be worse is if Campi Flegrei were to have a major eruption since part of Naples is actually within the caldera of Campi Flegrei.
Two years ago, I climbed Taal Volcano in the Philippines, and peered down into the cauldron. It was nothing but water at the time. Then almost exactly one year later, that volcano erupted. I guess timing really is everything.
On the day of the eruption, they were also in the middle of a festival for Vulcan so they might’ve ignored it because they thought it was a sign from the god
Well..... a survey done by University College London and Harvard University revealed that "Britons have no worse dental health than the Americans, and in fact, they have fewer missing teeth" "The study showed that the average number of missing teeth was significantly higher in the US" Im not even British but i will not stand for such filthy slander 😂
Germans and Britons are well known for their bad teeth. Makes sense when fish and vinegar-dipped chips and Sauerkraut are the national dishes. Acid food makes your teeth rot.
I've been to Pompeii twice. Once in 1998 and again in 2016 to see David Gilmour perform there. It's a very ghostly and beautiful city. I was only 17 in 1998, but I knew I was lucky to be there.
Cool little things you witness firsthand when you visit are the grooves in the streets from where they would have had horse carriages passing through and visiting buildings like their bathhouses. Simple, minute details of day to day life, some which we still use to date, preserved yet dated. Those are the little things that really fascinated me upon my visit. Those are the things that remind me just how simply the same humans have been and will always continue to be, regardless of how much older we can live and how many new technologies we discover- life will always just go on.
Herculaneum was another town destroyed at the same time. It's much smaller than Pompeii as it was mostly just a resort for the wealthy. Only about 1/3 has been excavated because the rest lies under the current town. It's much better preserved than Pompeii. This is because Pompeii was blanketed under tonnes of dust which crushed and flattened the buildings, so there's only the first floor of most buildings left standing. Herculaneum on the other hand was swamped by a tsunami of mud which flooded the town, preserving everything including the second floors, the roofs and even the wooden doors for some places. If you do ever get the opportunity to go - I just finally managed to only last week - I thoroughly recommend spending 1 full day at Pompeii (esp check out the House of Mystery), 1/2 day at Herculaneum (In the morning I took a bus to the top of Mt Vesuvius and walked around the crater: it takes about 2 hours), and then the final day at the Naples museum. The museum is where they keep all the good stuff they've found at both sites. The statues, mosaics and frescoes. It is well worth visiting. I'm very happy I finally managed to get there. Since childhood when I first learned about Pompeii I've wanted to visit.
I went to Pompeii once in my life and I saw all of the preserved corpses there.Thinking back now it was very sad seeing them all there and it makes you wish you could of done something to save them all from there fates ❤️😭
Check a map of Vesuvius and where Pompeii is located. You'll see that the city of Naples is actually closer than Pompeii is. However, some volcanoes blow out the side instead of the top and that happened here which propelled all the ash and debris downwind to Vesuvius and apparently spared Naples.
Some of Vesuvius’s past eruptions actually have reached the the area where Naples is now so it definitely could destroy the city with a large enough eruption
2000 years before Pompeii destruction...it erupted and destroyed a bronze age village. Now, the preserved village is helping archeologists understand the bronze age civilization. Vesuvius...the gift that keeps on giving.

MONEY!!! ZOMG!
I’ve never heard of them finding actual mummies at Pompeii, only cavities where the bodies had once been that they filled with plaster to make the famous casts. And last I heard the citizens of Pompeii did NOT die instantaneously, but rather they died when the volcanic ash was inhaled forming a sort of cement in their lungs. Herculaneum however was indeed instantaneous death as the inhabitants were basically flash boiled and all that’s left is skeletons, which is more than was found at Pompeii. When we’re these mummies that you cited here actually found?
Yes, this video is full of mistruths. The frescos were typical Roman art, not associated with brothels. Romans were much more open about sex. Plus it showed mummies, none of which were found in Pompeii. Yes, Pompeii was a summer getaway for wealthy Romans, but it was closer to Cape Cod than Reno or Vegas. Shoddy history.
@@nancykaminski8600 true, only one brothel, and this video doesn’t mention anything about how the preserved bodies are actually plaster and how archeologists used plaster to recreate the bodies that disintegrated under the ash
@@ara0812ara Absolutely. For a good video on Pompeii I recommend anything from Mary Beard, a classical scholar from England. Her series on Rome and Pompeii are wonderful.
It's 4:44 in the morning, I have an appointment at 9, but I can't Stop Watching your videos lol guess I'm going to pass out while I'm watching them lol
I actually went to Pompeii 3 years ago. And it is actually amazing to see such things, we also went to Herculaneum where most of the houses where still intact. And I remember going up the vulcano to. Me knowing the type that Vesuvius was. I was super scared
I'm writing a novel set in the days leading up to Vesuvius' 79 eruption. I'd love to know your sources for the volcano naming snd the source regarding dried springs.
In addition to the date scrawled on the wall in charcoal, they recently also found a coin which was pressed in September of that year. They have also found evidence of Autumnal produce, meaning it couldn't possibly have happened in August. The only reason we think it was August is from Pliny's writings, which he made 15 years after the eruption. He obviously got the date wrong.
The ancient peoples knew perfectly well what a volcano is. And Vesuvius is not the only active volcano in Europe: we have ten active volcanos in Italy alone
What I dont get about the eruption is if they either suffocated or if they were killed by heat as told by this video, why are there some preserved bodies that are sitting up? If they were sitting in a chair and died, they would have slumped forward, or their head back or to the side.. but some pictures look as if they were sitting playing cards while being preserved by ash and lava
Maybe they were sitting and leaning against a wall, or their bodies just folded some as they fell. Idk, I've been, it's very eerie, but fascinating. Being in someone's living room, checking out their floor tiles and wall frescos 2000 years later is also a trip. Most of the bodies I saw were laying down, sorta crumpled on their sides. One was a pregnant mom covering a small child. That one still haunts me. My son was only 2 when I was there, can't imagine what that poor mom went thru trying to protect her babies. The detail of some of the facial expressions is also nightmare fuel.
It’s because there body’s basically dried up instantly. They dry into what ever position they were in and then there corpse can’t move from that position without breaking.
They experienced cadaveric spasm (instant stiffening of the muscles) because of heat shock. They died within a fraction of a second, so it wasn't an agonizing death as their contorted corpses would have you believe. They quite literally were in the middle of doing something when death hit them instantly, and they stayed in that position.
Do you even realize what a force would be required to shift the earth axis enough to be noticeable by the most sensitive of measurements? Certainly nothing that humans can produce. If you stuck all human nuclear arsenal in a single place and detonated it at once you still don't shift earth axis enough to be ever noticed.
Cheapskate. Can't even watch a f'ing ad to support independent content. Then wonder why all your favorite channels are shutting down or dropping in relevancy lol.
I went to Pompeii when i was like 8 and honestly it scarred me seeing all of the bodies of people who died in their sleep and holding hands and whatnot
I was taken to P TOWN Provincetown, Mass a gay mecca as a kid but wasn't told what I'd be seeing .... it f'd me up a bit at the time. Somehow I love the place now and have no hangups as a result!🤔
Hello, try not to go there in May - September, unless you don’t mind spending 2hrs walking around in 35+ Celsius between dense crowds.. and don’t forget to include hiking at the top of mount Vesuvio with the Pompeii trip.
Some say there had been a recent minor eruptions weeks before and the citizens failed to realize how devastating this one would be until it was too late. It is also thought the hot gases killed many before the ash covered them.
Geologists agree worst vulcanic eruption in the past 10,000 years put Minoa, the country that gave us the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur on the short list of places that inspired the myth of Atlantis. It happened around 1420 BCE when the sister island of Thea’s volcano blew, followed three days later by a tidal wave.
Lowkey the thumbnail looks like a visual representation of "blow your mind", idk if that was intentional or not but the dark humor side of me wants it to be haha
Tambora? What about krakatau? The earthquakes last for days n spreading till japan, that severe explosion made the volcano split into 3. Now we have 2 new krakatau which are growing and... Wish us luck lol
These poor people legit died believing that it was the end of the world apocalypse type of thing . They had no idea what a volcano evan was and to them it must have been a hell like scene .
We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. This is greatness. This is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man. -Oswald Spengler
I went to high school in Naples you could see the volcano on the way there it was a beautiful sight every morning with the sun rise . beautiful country
Pompeii and Herculaneum should be on everyone’s bucket list. It really is magnificent to experience and mind boggling once you realize they’ve uncovered only less than half lol
What were your sources for this video? Multiple "facts" are totally wrong or greatly exaggerated. I'd like to point out that the bodies were not preserved, but the bodies we see are plaster castings made by archaeologists. No bodies were mummified and only skeletons remained in the cavities within the ash. Also, the number of dead in Pompeii is thought to be around 2,000, not nearly the 30,000 suggested here. Only about 1,500 combined bodies have been found in both Pompeii and Herculaneum, with around 3/4 of the total acreage having been excavated. The city had a population of around 10,000-20,000 overall with neighboring Herculaneum included. Furthermore, the positioning of the bodies is likely not the result of being in agonizing pain, but rather the result of extreme heat shock on corpses. The heat from the pyroclastic surge would likely have killed most or all nearly instantly. Rasputin was said to have sat up in his cremation chamber after his drawn-out assassination, but muscle tissue simply contracts when suddenly exposed to high heat. Kinda like how you could shrink a steak if you burnt it to a crisp. Historians also generally believe that most of the inhabitants did indeed flee the signs of an incoming eruption before it happened. I've watched a lot of your videos, but now I'm wondering how reliable your research is...
What natural disaster are you most afraid of?
A natural disaster with the possibility for the most destruction that I am aware of is, if the volcano in Yellowstone National Park were to erupt.

One of the best places I've ever been! Absolutely amazing place
I’ve never heard of them finding actual mummies at Pompeii, only cavities where the bodies had once been that they filled with plaster to make the famous casts. And last I heard the citizens of Pompeii did NOT die instantaneously, but rather they died when the volcanic ash was inhaled forming a sort of cement in their lungs. Herculaneum however was indeed instantaneous death as the inhabitants were basically flash boiled and all that’s left is skeletons, which is more than was found at Pompeii. When we’re these mummies that you cited here actually found?
There’s only one confirmed brothel in Pompeii, nearly every preserved building all has erotic art.
Yes, this video is full of mistruths. The frescos were typical Roman art, not associated with brothels. Romans were much more open about sex. Plus it showed mummies, none of which were found in Pompeii. Yes, Pompeii was a summer getaway for wealthy Romans, but it was closer to Cape Cod than Reno or Vegas. Shoddy history.
@@nancykaminski8600 true, only one brothel, and this video doesn’t mention anything about how the preserved bodies are actually plaster and how archeologists used plaster to recreate the bodies that disintegrated under the ash
@@ara0812ara Absolutely. For a good video on Pompeii I recommend anything from Mary Beard, a classical scholar from England. Her series on Rome and Pompeii are wonderful.
It's 4:44 in the morning, I have an appointment at 9, but I can't Stop Watching your videos lol guess I'm going to pass out while I'm watching them lol
I actually went to Pompeii 3 years ago. And it is actually amazing to see such things, we also went to Herculaneum where most of the houses where still intact. And I remember going up the vulcano to. Me knowing the type that Vesuvius was. I was super scared
I'm writing a novel set in the days leading up to Vesuvius' 79 eruption. I'd love to know your sources for the volcano naming snd the source regarding dried springs.
Good luck with your novel! I'd love to read it!! I have alot of interest there as well as the neighboring town that was destroyed! Again good luck!
You should add Gaius and Aurelius or whatever his name is, the two brothers who wrote their names on a wall
Christine Gunning ack
Christine Gunning did you ever finish that novel? If you did what’s the name of it, I’ll check it out
Christine Gunning good luck with your book
In addition to the date scrawled on the wall in charcoal, they recently also found a coin which was pressed in September of that year. They have also found evidence of Autumnal produce, meaning it couldn't possibly have happened in August.
The only reason we think it was August is from Pliny's writings, which he made 15 years after the eruption. He obviously got the date wrong.
A+ video!
Great facts!
Just like Vegas...
What went on in Pompeii
definitely stayed in Pompeii.
The ancient peoples knew perfectly well what a volcano is. And Vesuvius is not the only active volcano in Europe: we have ten active volcanos in Italy alone
What I dont get about the eruption is if they either suffocated or if they were killed by heat as told by this video, why are there some preserved bodies that are sitting up? If they were sitting in a chair and died, they would have slumped forward, or their head back or to the side.. but some pictures look as if they were sitting playing cards while being preserved by ash and lava
Maybe they were sitting and leaning against a wall, or their bodies just folded some as they fell. Idk, I've been, it's very eerie, but fascinating. Being in someone's living room, checking out their floor tiles and wall frescos 2000 years later is also a trip. Most of the bodies I saw were laying down, sorta crumpled on their sides. One was a pregnant mom covering a small child. That one still haunts me. My son was only 2 when I was there, can't imagine what that poor mom went thru trying to protect her babies. The detail of some of the facial expressions is also nightmare fuel.
It’s because there body’s basically dried up instantly. They dry into what ever position they were in and then there corpse can’t move from that position without breaking.
@@andreweadie3206 oh. Okay. Gotcha! Thanks for helping me out with this
They experienced cadaveric spasm (instant stiffening of the muscles) because of heat shock. They died within a fraction of a second, so it wasn't an agonizing death as their contorted corpses would have you believe. They quite literally were in the middle of doing something when death hit them instantly, and they stayed in that position.
The ash compacted on their bodies and essentally minified them
Worst case scenario: sudden, significant shift in the earth’s axis. The results would be truly apocalyptic.
I read where China's dam recently built, is so heavy it actually shifted the earth's axis .5 percent.
We have had a shift a very slight shift in the earth's axis when the earthquake of Haiti happened cant remember the year but recently
Some speculate that it happens periodically..that the Pyramids etc are a warning/ calendar about eventual catastrophic shift in the axis
Do you even realize what a force would be required to shift the earth axis enough to be noticeable by the most sensitive of measurements? Certainly nothing that humans can produce. If you stuck all human nuclear arsenal in a single place and detonated it at once you still don't shift earth axis enough to be ever noticed.
Great video! Thanks!
Under 10 minutes, nice job
Cheapskate. Can't even watch a f'ing ad to support independent content. Then wonder why all your favorite channels are shutting down or dropping in relevancy lol.

This channel needs more subs it's amazing
What an outstanding narrative!
Another great video. My favorite history lessons
I went to Pompeii when i was like 8 and honestly it scarred me seeing all of the bodies of people who died in their sleep and holding hands and whatnot
I was taken to P TOWN Provincetown, Mass a gay mecca as a kid but wasn't told what I'd be seeing .... it f'd me up a bit at the time. Somehow I love the place now and have no hangups as a result!🤔
I’m terrified of sink holes
I'll be seeing this place in 1½ year, for my 30th birthday :D can't wait!!!!

@@EQOAnostalgia like I said: can't wait :P
Hello, try not to go there in May - September, unless you don’t mind spending 2hrs walking around in 35+ Celsius between dense crowds.. and don’t forget to include hiking at the top of mount Vesuvio with the Pompeii trip.
Love you channel! Thank you
I went in Pompeii last year ... Very interesting place
I was there last April...just incredible.
Some say there had been a recent minor eruptions weeks before and the citizens failed to realize how devastating this one would be until it was too late. It is also thought the hot gases killed many before the ash covered them.
Thanks! Now this makes a lot more sense!
Damn, as soon as the video starts, they hit off a burn, love the narrator for this channel I swear
Pompeii is the perfect example for us. When a vast majority don't care about what's right and what's wrong, the whole population pays.
The way slaves were treated was awful beyond awful i am glad didnt live back then
I mean... if you knew the way this world truly was.
There are more slaves alive today than back then
Geologists agree worst vulcanic eruption in the past 10,000 years put Minoa, the country that gave us the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur on the short list of places that inspired the myth of Atlantis. It happened around 1420 BCE when the sister island of Thea’s volcano blew, followed three days later by a tidal wave.
I'd say "Mountain of Doom" is an appropriate substitute for volcano
Great vid

These Pompeii facts just blew my mind like the peak of Mount Vesuvius

Thank you for honesty ♥️
I wasnt expecting that romans were so advanced the mosaic paintings on marble.the gladiator real helmet .all the preserved things just amazing
We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. This is greatness. This is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man. -Oswald Spengler
This place is great I have been wanting to go there since I first heard of it.

Pompeii and Herculaneum should be on everyone’s bucket list. It really is magnificent to experience and mind boggling once you realize they’ve uncovered only less than half lol
What were your sources for this video? Multiple "facts" are totally wrong or greatly exaggerated. I'd like to point out that the bodies were not preserved, but the bodies we see are plaster castings made by archaeologists. No bodies were mummified and only skeletons remained in the cavities within the ash. Also, the number of dead in Pompeii is thought to be around 2,000, not nearly the 30,000 suggested here. Only about 1,500 combined bodies have been found in both Pompeii and Herculaneum, with around 3/4 of the total acreage having been excavated. The city had a population of around 10,000-20,000 overall with neighboring Herculaneum included. Furthermore, the positioning of the bodies is likely not the result of being in agonizing pain, but rather the result of extreme heat shock on corpses. The heat from the pyroclastic surge would likely have killed most or all nearly instantly. Rasputin was said to have sat up in his cremation chamber after his drawn-out assassination, but muscle tissue simply contracts when suddenly exposed to high heat. Kinda like how you could shrink a steak if you burnt it to a crisp. Historians also generally believe that most of the inhabitants did indeed flee the signs of an incoming eruption before it happened. I've watched a lot of your videos, but now I'm wondering how reliable your research is...
