I love anything about archeological ruins. Completely fascinating.
It's all over the Mediterranean coast, AKA the former Roman empire. I got to visit Troy and Ephesus in Turkey in June 2019, fascinating!
You’d love Arizona. They’re literally all over the state.
Expensive too. Lol
I was in Detroit once.
Come to Oakland California you'll love it
The doodles attributed to children are charming, and in their way even more precious than the fine painted decorations being brought to light.
Human behavior remains the same.
It's like Olfin's drawings. He lived about 800 years ago and drew doodles and practiced writing on birch bark that was preserved. Super cute drawings.
@@hez5160 Your interesting post led me to the Wikipedia entry on Onfim of Novgorod, where several of his indeed charming and miraculously preserved drawings were illustrated.
@@barrymoore4470 YES! Onfim. I had his name wrong. So sorry for that!
@@hez5160 Your rendering was close enough that I was still able to find the entry, so everything worked out great. Thanks again for guiding me to this interesting information.
Everything was preserved in pristine condition to the layers of ash and pumice. While incredibly tragic for the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum it is a gift to us as a perfectly preserved time capsule. Thank you for sharing.
I feel so bad for the kids
@@Chic_Ken Agreed. It must have been utterly terrifying and incredibly painful to die in such a way. That also applies to the adults and the animals in the area.
Thrilling! Brought tears to my eyes! The past reaching out to us… and eventually, ourselves reaching out to those yet to be born!
Why does it look like you have the smile of dhar mann and appearance of drake
@@Anubonek tee-hee
I've visited Pompeii twice. It's hands down my favorite place I've ever been. It's great to hear about all the new discoveries this past year.
Charcoal drawings on the walls are truly a human resemblance to a child.
Humans being human.
Except todays kids use crayons, paint & anything else they can find in a house that will stain. My brother has 4 my sister has 6, I’ve seen the disasters 😂
@@Scooby_Foo93 Some things don't change! Something tells me those kids got a good whopping when their mom discovered the charcoal on the wall 😂
I adore ancient history. This is so beautiful.
Absolutely amazing that there’s STILL discoveries to find at Pompeii even after being excavated for other two hundred years
Considering everybody thinks ancient Rome was white statues and bare stone, having this look into how beautifully they painted their walls is priceless
It's now known the statues were painted. Exam under electron microscopes have revealed specs of colored paint. Over the centuries the paint has flaked off due to weather, etc..
Painted quite brightly and what we would consider garish.
@@dfirth224 I heard that later people even stripped away the paint from the ones that had some left because they thought they looked better white.
It’s incredible! The vibrant blues and reds, even black painted walls in the banquet room. And all the ornate frescos-this must have been the house of a very wealthy family.
@@MAYBEE90 VERY wealthy indeed…
Genuinely thrilled to see something on the news not related to politics! Thank you!!
walking around there is literally like walking back in time. amazing
The drawings in the banquet room were exquisite. My favorite, though, was the kids’ graffiti; the more things change, the more they stay the same.
This is seriously incredible.... people don't realize how amazing it is to uncover this intact the way it was 2000 years ago
And this is why I want to go get my Archaeology degree
Just please don't rewrite history
@@watermelonlover745 Why not?
So did I until I found out how much they made. Got a degree in finance instead and got stuck at a trading desk for 25 years. Wish I went the archeology route now.
@@Bryan-od7nv it may not make much, but in my opinion, it is much more rewarding
@@tammydavis770 Absolutely. Only benefit was being able to retire in my 40s.
Pompéi and Herculaneum must have been incredibly fun!
if you had money yes..if you were one of the many laborers and slaves a little less I'm affraid....
@@nondescript2892 Slaves and peasants probably comprised the majority of the population.
Fascinating. The people that lived back then were and are absolutely no different than those living today.
Except the wealthy Roman ate laying down and served by the slaves
@@___beyondhorizon4664 Again, so what is different?
you wouldn't survive a day in the stench, filth and crime ridden back alleys....only the super rich had those villa's ..the rest scraped by in short , harsh and stress filled lives
@@nondescript2892 So kind of like any US city?
Kind of like today
It’s amazing how modern technology and time found perfectly preserved ancient civilizations
This message is for everyone who is reading it: The Lord Jesus came down from heaven, sent by God the Father, to teach us how to live, and to die/pay for our sins on the cross. Then God raised Him from the dead on the third day. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Now, God commands everyone who is reading this message to repent (turn away from your sinful ways), and to put their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. Don’t die in your sins: Repent, and put your faith in Jesus. The Lord Jesus came to save, not to condemn. The Lord is coming soon. (John 3:17)
Not a lot of modern technology going on here
Actually, Pompeii was discovered over a hundred years ago. This wasn't just "discovered" since most of Pompeii has yet to be unearthed.
Brushes modern technology lol
@@mannysolo4698 please stop brainwashing people.
Just keep digging
I love new discoveries at Pompeii. Keep digging!
Such a great story.
wow just stunning a lovely colour how amazing to be able to find such a treasure
This is absolutely amazing! The preservation of the pigment after a huge natural disaster like that is incredible!
Incredible. I’m a big history & military history buff, & the Roman Era is one of my favorite subjects. Going to Rome & seeing the Forum & Coliseum were some of the most thought provoking & amazing experiences of my life. Unfortunately I never made it to Pompeii or Herculaneum. When you see these ruins & read about it with supplemental historical sources it makes you realize how advanced & developed Roman civilization was back then. Of course, it’s horrifying to contemplate that fateful day when Vesuvius erupted & buried the city & killed all the people; it’s truly nightmarish to contemplate.
The amazing thing is though we often look back in history with a condescending prejudice & arrogantly believe we are so more advanced while they were primitive simpletons. We take so much for granted now. When you think of simpler societies you begin to understand while some had to devote themselves to survival & sustenance, many had developed sophisticated systems that allowed more serious pursuits than just hunting, gathering & farming. In many ways, it seems the citizens of the Roman Empire lived more advanced & comfortable lives than in more recent periods like the Middle Ages or at least didn’t have the squalor or large scale issues of the time ravaging their societies. If this era interests you I highly recommend watching English Roman Historian Mary Beard’s documentaries. She is entertaining & extremely knowledgable, but her passion on Roman history is infectious.
Was in Pompeii, Herculaneum and Rome in June! BREATHTAKING! Simply breathtaking! All of the ruins! Went to Pompeii Archaeological Park twice and still didn't get a chance to see everything that I would have liked to have seen!! Still though, they were amazing experiences that I will take to my grave!!
It's really beautiful, And so amazing how well preserved everything is!
Hope they discover more!
Yeah, that's clearly not a pizza. It's rather a bruschetta or similar. A bread with stuff on. That's a precursor to pizza, absolutely. But not a pizza.
Not a pizza, but an "open faced pie", which is what a pizza is.
Its nice to see actual good interesting news
Very Fascinating and Exciting ❤😊
I have been there, it's so beautiful but what we're usually not told is that Pompeei is still a modern city, that people live in, the historical ruins are just a part of it and its only tourist attraction.
Whaaaaaaaat??? This is insane! Wow. My mind is officially blown! 😳😍
This video is everything!
Great video!
I’m amazing about the discovery and their culture, so sad they can’t prevent the tragedy of the volcano.
The frequent earthquakes were a warning, but the people had no idea.
Absolutely amazing! Love this stuff
So beautiful.
The funniest thing about Pompeii if you've ever visited is that the city decided it would be cool to add some modern art and a Pizza/gift shop in the middle of the ruins, lol.
art art and more art! love it!
This is so amazing. Wow!
Amazing how much was preserved.
Spectacular finds
Surely all my stories know the amazingness of Pompeii and how the technology for design and even decoration was implemented in Pompeii away that has not been seen other parts of the world do your research so amazing that this was preserved so nicely in fact it’s almost preserved so well in such a long time it makes you wonder how things are made out how cheaply things are made something so intricate and beautiful made from all materials can exist through time justAs this
Wow the paintings on the wall being small is really nice looking, and practical with the cost of paints
It never leaves the imagination.
Wow! Just wow!
Absolutely beautiful!
I love ancient civilizations
Imagine you had a conversation in your home with your friends and you talked with the same inflections of this reporter.
My biggest dream is to see this all rebuilt like it was originally, and we could go there and live there, and open businesses there, has it was.
Ancient history remains intact and seeing how Mount Vesuvius had wiped out the city of Pompeii in volcanic ash. That’s beyond anyone’s amazement.
And what's even more interesting is the fact that perhaps Pompeii was built on top of an even older city. The layers keep going and going with these types of things.
Woooah those frescoes up top on the walls were fascinating.
I have recently been fascinated by the Cahokia Mounds in the USA.We have so few "ancient" things on our continent because of the building materials. It fascinates me that we will have a more in depth understanding of this ancient culture that is far away than the one literally next door to me. I ponder what they will find left behind by us...
There's a new study which shows the extent of Cahokia. It covered easily 1/2 the U.S.
There are many ancient artifacts and sites in Mesoamerica (Mexico and Central America), which is part of the North American continent.
This is amazing.
Those "jugs" are amphora.
I wish they could do this kind of study on Indus River valley
The hand tracing on the wall made me cry. We are more connected to the past than we think.
"Are we on a road?"
"We're making a journey of 2,000 years"
ME: what does that mean?
Amazing❣️ 😍
"Are we ON a Roman road yet?" Madam, you're in Pompeii! The answer, of course, is yes (except to an American, apparently). Kudos to the gentleman for being extremely polite faced with... that!
That’s amazing
Hey I'm a big fan
I appreciate your work in moving air and keeping things cool!
“Biggest dig in a generation” has a different meaning if you’re from Massachusetts
Amazing 😎
Anyone else noticed the hue of that blue and the hue of the blue roofed group houses that didn’t burn in Hawaii crazy that room should be charred
Lapis Lazuli paint?
This is probably Egyptain Blue which is close to being as expensive as Lapis Lazuli.
Got to love science !
The art of uncovering none biased fact !
This is amazing
Amazing!
news people need to learn how to talk like a human being with a soul.
Crazy to think our ancestors left us clues burried like this! I wonder what they were trying to tell us??
In reality they were bright colors, they are no longer bright, in fact they are very opaque due to years of damage.
“They will be working on this site for several months” not like they have been digging in Pompeii since before America became free 😂
How has it survived this long? I get it was buried by ash but it has survived countless wars, earthquakes, bombardments WWI and WWII.
So much more tragic 😢
Pompeii and Herculaneum were two of the best spots I ever visited.
More of this
less of the political propaganda
Danng, imagine you're just living your life and suddenly the sky just starts falling -basically apocalypse, and no one know what's going on bc no tv, no internet, no research or understanding of what going on and everything gets buried
French people: I don't see that coming
"There's so many things to be discovered" - oh gawd. We really didn't need that ending.
What a way to die. Not a cellphone in sight...people just living in the moment.
aRe wE oN ah r0mAN RoAD yEt?? .....You're in rome🤣
just hope they dont get vandalized
I always wondered how close our assumption are about past. Thanks to magnificent preservation by horrible tragedy. We now know.
One day we will eventually find out that Eve was tempted by Pizza, not an apple.
They uncovered a four seasons
So you think the blue room is interesting? What do you think about gobekli tepi?
I find that just as fascinating. It is incredible how old Gobekli Tepe is. 🤯
Herculean need more attention its more preserved but in state of danger
The Blue Room!
IN THE SHADOW OF MOUNT VESUVIUS...
Where did this happen to find this?
How was the animated intro created for this video?
Don’t let people near it.
I assume that paint has massive amount of lead arsenic or mercury
Amazing how American journalists can make such a fascinating topic sound idiotic and childish.
Not a word said about why the blue room is considered to be a shrine, and not just a blue room. Can’t burden the viewers I suppose with too much information.
Issa Pizza.
Imagine that was like their cicis and the kids were playing in the game room
Helan was from sparta.Helan was abducted and taken to troy,she did not come from troy.
I know a pizza when I see one. And that's a pizza
yea pretty expensive the rent can probably be 2000+
