About this Herculaneum mini-documentary:
Herculaneum is about 6 kilometres form Mount Vesuvius and was destroyed in 79 AD by the same eruption that engulfed Pompeii.
Only one quarter of the city has been uncovered, with the modern town of Ercolano sitting on top of the remainder.
The city lay buried for centuries in a solid mass of pumice and ash to a depth of 12 to 30 metres.
Herculaneum was a smaller, wealthier city than Pompeii, covering about 20 hectares and with 4000 - 5000 inhabitants.
Instead of the sudden weight of falling ash that crushed roofs and collapsed houses in Pompeii, fast-flowing lava filled Herculaneum from the ground up, supporting walls and roofs as it encased them.
This preserved its multi-storied homes, complete with doors and staircases, as well as a wealth of organic material missing in Pompeii. Wooden furniture, textiles, and even foods tell us much about everyday life here, and many vivid frescoes and mosaics remain intact.
In this film we tour the streets and see inside the houses, bars and baths of ancient Herculaneum.
The film ends at the boathouse, where there are skeletons of victims who died at the seashore while waiting for rescue.

Thank you. Excellent presentation - I loved the low-key narration - and enough time for us to appreciate each scene but without lingering.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
THE BEST VIDEO BECAUSE ITS FOCUS
IS THE RUINS AND NOT THE VISITORS
OUR THE TOURIST'S GUIDES. 👍😎👍
Good job, I enjoyed this quick visit to the ancient world. These were real people with real lives. I enjoy history.
Isn't this just fascinating. You document this subject so much better that the mainstream. Wonderful attention to detail. 😉
Thank you for your kind words!
Imagine the manpower that was needed to construct such a place. And the materials.
Very well done! Thank you very much for the upload!
Really loved this video , saw so much , with great narration, in such a short episode .Saw your Pompeii piece too .Fabulous ! Thank you .
Thank you - I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Danke für diesen wunderschönen Film !!
Thank you for sharing.
wow
one could design his house using this Roman style and with same Roman material of ceramics and mosaics and not feel he is backward
although Egypt has alot of ancient stuff but i envy Italians for having full preserved cities like Pompei and Heraclneuim.
wish i can visit them someday
Haha yes it's more beautiful than anything anyone could make today...so incredible yes...very sad
thank you for posting this fascinating video
Thank you for your kind comment.
well done....you picked interesting aspects. more please
At least death was instantaneous and their suffering very brief. very informative, I will probably never get there so I have to visit it through your eyes.
so insightive and grim
Very informative, thanks
This is amazing. Why haven't I heard how much better preserved Herculaneum is than Pompeii? This is such a treasure trove they should move the town above the rest of the ruins and uncover all of it. Who knows what might be found? Thanks for such a great video. I am totally fascinated by the Romans and love seeing their ruins. Hope I live long enough to see it in person. It is great to see almost intact buildings with the wood still there, the beautiful frescoes etc. Great job on the narration.
Very informative, Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating...
Thank you.
Well done! I appreciate the factual narration. Too many videos have irrelevant background noise.
Thank you.
Impressionante.
Well worth a visit
Two hours of bliss, very clever people the Romans, enjoyed the visit and took lots of photos
Fantastic video.
Thank you for your comment. I'm pleased that you like it.

CIDADE ROMANA HERCULANO DO LUXO AS RUINAS!!!
This place is so incredibly beautiful. But did they not know the dangers and impending doom of a volcano? It's like,did they just arrive here one day and start creating a paradise with absolutely no idea of what a volcano is?? How is this possible? Someone please explain me this naivete of these evidently highly cultured,wealthy,intelligent people...Its so we'll preserved thanks to this but my god...so very sad...
The first settlements in the area date back to the 8th century BC. It was only much later that it became subsumed within the Roman Empire. One of the things that made the area so good for settlement was the rich, volcanic soil around the Vesuvius volcano. So the source of the area's agricultural productivity and much of its wealth was also its downfall.
The inhabitants of Pompeii had long been used to minor earthquakes (the writer Pliny the Younger wrote that earth tremors "were not particularly alarming because they are frequent in Campania"), but in AD 62 a severe earthquake did considerable damage around the bay, and particularly to Pompeii. BUT there was no eruption. Major reconstruction of the city followed in the years following. During all those long centuries of human settlement, nothing like the AD79 eruption had been experienced by any major settlement in the area, as far as I know. So the inhabitants could not have known what was coming. It seems that most of the inhabitants were able to escape during the first 18 hours of the eruption (Only about 1150 bodies have been found during the extensive excavations, but this was a city with many thousands of inhabitants.
The area today, around the Bay of Naples, is heavily populated and this includes the large modern city of Naples. If Vesuvius erupted again, it could devastate the area and there would probably not be enough time for evacuation. On the other hand, just how dangerous an eruption might be would depend on the size of the eruption and whether any superheated pyroclastic flows actually hit areas of population. On the positive side, it's almost 2000 years since the disaster that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. Nobody really knows if there will ever be another eruption like the last one.
Pour le référencement.
Some of these houses with frescoes or mosaics should be protected from the elements.

Seeing peoples names carved in the walls. how disrespectful 2:31 onwards
Jack Dixy
It's quite interesting because the Romans were known to carve their names, dirty slurs and jokes among other stuff into the walls too. The word graffiti comes from the ancient greek graphein = to write.
I don't think it's a bad thing; in a thousand years people will be fascinated by our carvings too.
@lynnyfee nah ancient people is much much much much better than modern's.
Just look how those gangsters and pricks write their names on the wall...
And i agree with jack dixy how disrespectful it is to write their names.
It should be preserved not to vandalized.
The graffiti is from the 1st century.
Do you ever wonder what would happen if the residents could come back and see their town as it is now?? I wonder what they would say?
I'm pretty sure that is NOT a "triumphal arch" LOL Especially when only 1/4 of the city is excavated, it's brutish to say that they've found the "main street" as well. While I would greatly enjoy a visit, I think I'm remain humble in declarations.
Interesting comment. It is the main street with a triumphal arch at one end according to this article: www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/19/roman-high-street-reopens-visitors : "... the high street of a town that disappeared 1,932 years ago under ash and mud 20 metres deep.At one end of the Decumanus Maximus at Herculaneum, near Naples, is a triumphal arch."
Experts claim they can date archeological time periods by the amphorae, why are so many types in this video?

مات ضاحكن ....من علامات الايمان !!!!
U should study Al quran to.God telling on surah yassin.long time ago(before the last prophet) He sent 3 prophet to some ancient city.But people on city rejected,rich man dont want give food to poor people,they ask why God not help poor people with himself and also challenging God try to destroy them if He can.God says He never sent military armada from sky to them.Just single big sound.They all die on second.thats is just 1 story from to many ancient city.maybe the city is pompeii,roman empire city.symbol of lgbt,free seks,rich,but poor people suffer on there.thats is big reason why God sent prophet before destroy entire city with 1 shot.
oh Come Onnnnn!!! Pls read history books on what really happened in Italy in 79 A.D. in the mount Vesuvio area : The Volcano which looked like a normal mountain and was ignored to be so destructive by the local population, suddenly exploded destroying the roman cities of Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Stabiae. Evering was witnessed by the Plinium the young (nefew of the roman poet Plinium the old who died in the disaster). This has NOTHING TO DO with what is written in your Couran , or in the Apocalypse part of the Holy Bible. ... Ps: I am a roman catholic and i do believe in GOD., but what has happened in Pompeii has nothing to do with God's punishment. Pls Don't be so superstitious!!!!
fi sophia omggg I never thought I'd see a comment like this! SubhanAllah, I always think of Allah's punishments in the Quran when I hear about Pompeii... they must have been people who rejected the message, like the people of Lut, Noah etc.. as for the previous comment, this has nothing to do with superstition. It is simply what our religion teaches us: whenever we see a nation that has been completely distroyed it was a punishment from God, who preserved their bodies as a sign for us. (Like the Pharaon in the time of Moses, for example). As a christian, you too must believe in the punishments detailed in the Old Testament :)
