I've been to Pompeii it's like going back 2000 years and becoming Roman it's so well preserved
Ancient Pompeii. This is so cool. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
There's nothing not to like about a good Mary Beard video. They're educational and entertaining.

Mary Beard always tells it best 👍
Fake news.
@@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536 Que Communista Mariposa ?
Pedr Dr
first time.. but ill be looking for her stuff now..
She talks a lot of rubbish.
She knows ancient languages, NOT their cultures.
The phallus represented lots of things since prehistoric times AROUND THE WORLD, many of them symbols of protective gods, to ward off bad influences.
Romans used them as borrowed culture from Greeks, often associated with Priapus, protector of plants, livestock, and more. Other gods are also associated, such as Hermes, for good fortune in commercial exchange, among other things.
I was lucky enough to get to Pompeii I cried. It had been a dream of mine.
I absolutely love Mary Beard. It would be an amazing experience to have her as a professor in school. I would be tuned in to every word she spoke.
Mary Beard did a special event at a local Portland, Oregon Highschool last week. The Public Broadcasting system broadcast a question and answer time between her and the students?
This is one of THEE best narrators I've ever seen. I visited Pompeii, and we did not get 1/16 the information she gave. And she was so interesting to listen to as well as watch. Great video. I rarely, if ever, comment, but I felt I needed to voice my positive opinion of her storytelling.
It's on my bucket list and have Mary there too !!! Would be a plus
This was interesting. I have seen many different documentaries of Pompeii and also of Herculaneum. Everytime I learn something new.
I wish that I’d had Mary Beard by my side when I visited Pompeii! There’s so much to see, but often there’s little background information about the buildings and the people to put it all in context (except for the many brothels which need no explanation, especially in Pompeii!).
How they lived is what I always think about when I hear about Pompeii.
Ms Mary Beard's presentation style is so very engaging and informative. Thanks to the production team, specialists, and Timeline for posting this here. Very fascinating exposition!
I always enjoy and stay interested in her videos. She is like an intelligent and curious relative that I never had. Thx Professor.
man.. i wish i could have a time machine.... so so SOOOOOO much i would LIVE to go back and watch and witness.... this city in its hayday is one of those things... sigh
Joanna Fletcher too!!!!!! Another good host specially about Egypt and mummies
It is my dream to one day see this incredible place in person
Mine too! ❤
It's crazy how we can leave traces of ourselves for thousands of years.
God Almighty preserve their signs for coming generations to take lessons from their inequities. 🦜
Such a beautiful video. Mary Beard is a star 🌟 🤩
Thank you 😊 Thank you for All the hardwork that you.and your Team put into every episode
I think it just as likely that the "poor" people in the cellar are just people that ran for their lives without grabbing jewelery and coins when the eruption started or were doing daily things that wouldn't call for them to be wearing jewlerey and what not.
That's possible, but I think the separation of the haves and have nots, along with the lack of physical wealth, leads to the conclusion that they were poor
Love hearing these docs while I’m doordashing !!
Very well presented and documented 😊
Amazing expert for Roman life, Mary beard and for Egyptian Joann Fletcher. Best regards to you all out there for the new year.
Love your Video. Been there twice. Thank you Miss Beard.
"Dammit! Even after two thousand years I'm still called poor!"
Hear you
She is a fantastic narrator!
Excellent documentary thanks 👍
Amazing had no idea so much was preserved..
Excellent doc!!!
Cheers, Mary! TYSM for your work and sharing your knowledge with us. Many blessings.
I they should’ve called it Pompenis! 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to visit one day, and have Lady Mary Beard as my guide, shes the best ❤love her books.
I love this .
I ❤ only God and my family.
@@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536 why did you feel so compelled to utter that?
@@absolutefolly2011 just drips with snarkiness
The most entertaining video I've seen in a long time, it caught me off guard just perfectly 😆
Excelente documental.!!!!!
Very informative
Excellent! Watch the BBC special on Herculaneum with Hadrin Wallace..Life and Death in Ancient Herculaneum. it is excellent too!
It amazes me just how good their teeth was just think about that for a minute this was 2000 yrs ago As much as the romans were very civilised I just don’t think Colgate was available 😂😂😂 but joking aside some of them obviously lived very well and were fit and healthy
She got a beautiful voice and the story she tell us A+
Who else wants to watch this, but feels like they saw this before?
As for the "labels" for where you stored your tunic-
When they built one of the first shopping malls in Minnesota at Ridgedale they put animal figures up on big cubes on the parking lot light poles to help you remember where you parked your car.
& "you are here" maps inside
How can she not know that the phallus was a symbol of prosperity and well-wishing for prosperity? That's why it was everywhere.
Very good . 👍👍👍👍
This program is from 2010 but is still very interesting!
What a fascinating documentary!!!😮💕
Hello 👋
How’s your day going today?
Maybe the "poor" in the cellar were actually rich people who were hospitalized at the time of the eruption and took shelter there with the physicians because they were too sick to travel or flee effectively.
It has been speculated syspilus did not start off as an sad. But as an airborne disease
She is an excellent storyteller and dispenser of history as it presents to her. Seeing documentaries like this makes me wonder how many other towns they might eventually find that were destroyed in the same eruption. Pompeii, Herculaneum… how many others? It’ll be interesting to see!
In reference to the indications of possible congenital syphilis, there is a superb documentary revealing the discovery of pre-Columbus cases of syphilis ..the earliest found in Ancient Greece. The documentary is called "THE SYPHILIS ENIGMA". Excellently done. (Background music, etc. CAN be a bit overpowering.)
As you walk out the shops sell the phallic things..
FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE. WE SALUTE. I DIE A FREE MAN 🌋🌋🌋

@@optimusprinceps3526 How horrible it is!

Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant
omg i love herrr
The willy lamps were for good luck 😁
Love Joann Fletcher too!!!!!!!!
Armchair theory about the three statues: if the ashes of the woman were already interred there then it might’ve been taboo or upsetting to take a hammer to the monument. Just my blind guess because I would’ve removed the statue too.
The buyers and the sellers met the same fate.
This must be old because pre Colombian syphilis has been well established in Europe now… hence the congenitive syphilis skeletons they discuss here.
She is a bit of a prude. It's ok to acknowledge how Roman life was. She wants to project her "modern" sensibilities in people millenia ago.
21:13. There is a way for having water circulation. Consider that, if the water was constantly getting in the pool by that spout, the pool would soon overflow; that would make for water circulation. Also, slaves with buckets could take water out from the pool, and, at some point of the late afternoon, night, or dawn, could empty the pool and scrub it. Without that, algae, slimes and other critters would have easily developed.
And, if the water was never renovated and the pool never cleaned, can you imagine any person willingly getting into that septic tank? Romans would be famous for bathing in rivers instead of Roman baths.
Bravo....Mary is just simply remarkable
Was all the items that this hub of activity totally destroyed leaving only the bones in the cellar? No burned grain in the jars, no residue of oil, garum, or wine? No bits of wheelbarrows, pottery, etc? It seems like things like that would tell a great deal about the lives.
I am thankful to have running water, modern medicine and sewage treatment. Modern society is so fortunate to have the means to keep ourselves clean and healthy.
The name for a Roman brothel... Lupinari
If people were “vaporized,” how did the gold and silver not melt?
Flesh burns at relatively low temperatures opposed to that needed to melt bronze and gold 913-1,082°C, the hot ash from the pyroclastic flows were around 100-120C IIRC
Wow I see my city I see Compton and Beverly hills
How many time have I watched this lol.
such places like pompeii or good places for doing an evp session at night.who knows how many lost souls are stuck there
How did the paint* last so long in that type of environment? Seems pretty strange to me
The ancient Romans used a special technique where they painted on wet plaster which "sucked in" the pigments as it dried. So the paintings literally became part of the structure.
Are you really insinuating that this is some sort of conspiracy?? 😂😂
did Mary Beard say corn?? I think she meant wheat
Love the antiquities uncovered by so much work by so many people. Wish I spoke Italian so I could watch Italian presentations. Beard is a British feminist with her interpretations and from Cambridge so "woke" to the hilt!
the phallus infatuation is interesting
I have been reading marry bread book in German
Greetings from Kurdistan ❤
This lady is wild
Highly recommend an oft-overlooked- and excellent - documentary on Pompeii’s oft-overlooked sister town, Herculaneum, by Professor Andrew Wallace Hadrill.
Thank you for the mention!
A wonderful historical documentary about the ancient Pompeanion lifestyle was... may be Pompeii inhibitors they were upper classes families & their servants ( slaves, prostitutes & concubines) besides local merchants & visited merchants . Documentary coverage is not labeled to the Peasants & and sailors skeletons
Omg is Mary funny!😅
Are our modern cities really that different? All classes of people living crammed into an urban environment with high rise penthouses, tennement housing as well as the homeless who live on the streets & everyone inbetween just living day to day.
those hosts are adorable!!
You could imagine cushions to recline on but not wooden steps that would have long ago deteriorated? Alright then.
this knowldgible wonderful woman, is a fantastic narrator and so knowledgable. men alway google up every last b it of credit for everything. so its refreshing to see this woman leading it. for a change!!
A stone bed for adult acts????? I thought my knees looked beat up after kneeling on the carpeted floor. Can’t even begin to imagine a stone flooring.
I'm surprised they had poke bowls.
1:58 A roman coin just at her feets.🤑
If good bond me dat Time I much happy
I bet Las Vegas and Brighton have never been mentioned in the same sentence before. Isn’t Brighton like a haven for pickle sniffers?
Roman bathrooms and high school bathroom are the same.
They weren't prostitutes. They were slaves the owner bought. When one died they threw her or him on the garbage piles outside a city and then bought a new slave.
7:54
People who discover these place am sure there a lot of Gold and become rich these time
All we wiill leave is plastic bags and phone ,
I would marry Mary Beard, and we could talk about the Roman Empire every day
Mary Beard - brilliant as always!
Herculaneum is even better preserved, but not as well excavated.
Hmmmm.. these things exist today??? Wish it did..
Yeah …. Pretty good …. Can’t go with the changing room theory, sounds like bs to me!
The video is freezing and segments are not being shown. Fairly consistent throughout.
Why do you guys repost the same docs over and over with different thumbnails? The documentaries are good, it's not necessary.
How tiny was that fetuses pelvic bone?
Mary Beard is loved by ALL!
Roman slaves werent treated/viewed as subhuman, just slaves? How awesome 😅
