What's your favorite ancient city?
Pompeii! thank you for this video 🤩
Herculaneum.
Jerusalem!❤
Without a doubt has to be Pompeii for me, also I thought I had seen everything on this ancient tomb but this was totally refreshing...thank you
@@sacha4566 Yuck!
What fascinates me about Pompeii is how for all intents and purposes life wasn't so different 2000 years ago.
Yes it was, you can't get away with those murals nowadays 🤣🤣 🙋
@@rodriguezmarina5156 Have you seen the house with the painting of that one God with the really large penis?
Lol.
I hate 😮
Oh it was very different. Roman society was a slave society. That changes everything.
@@rodriguezmarina5156or the slave at the door
Its so crazy to walk where people walked 2100 years ago and think of things like "well it was a Wednesday for someone, someone else was out after getting in a fight with their wife" etc
Imagine all the other lost Roman cities, this is only one of many
How many Roman cities were there?
@@punyaslokmohapatra7528 More than 400 hundreds.
@@punyaslokmohapatra7528 a lot. considering the vastness of the Roman Empire and the centuries for which it existed, there must be at least several thousands of lost establishments. it makes you wonder what life was like during completely forgotten times.
I think about that all the time ... Crazy to think in 2,000 years ago our biggest cities of today will suffer a similar fate.
They are all below the great millennial European cities. They have not disappeared as such, they were transformed in most cases.
It would be cool if a virtual reality experience of the entire Pompeii tour could be made. That way people can tour what it used to look like when it was bustling before the volanic eruption. They could experience it with the people moving around, enter their living and business areas but without interaction. I would pay 💰 to experience that.
Definitely! The few shots used here are awesome! Though a little sad to see they were just all white, no color or paint anywhere
I was in Pompeii a few weeks ago. Watching this video gives a lot more insight into what I actually saw. Sadly looks like I missed a few things in my visit, but my feet were just giving out by the end. It's not easy to walk around in those very rough stone roads.
The day I showed up there the workers at Pompeii decided to strike (Italian thing which happens on a whim). So we went to Herculaneum. That was fantastic, but I still wanna see Pompeii
I was there 3 times and still hungry. U can't see everything in one visit.
@@BiggaNigga69 what happened there bro
@@BiggaNigga69 yeah nigga ass😂
Agreed! You would need to stay a week to see more of it.
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on Pompeii! Everything about it, the discussion the expert and knowledge and narration, and the actual video along with the video reconstruction of what the city once looked like. It all worked out so well in this video. Thanks.🙏❤
I loved it too. What’s extra nice is watching it again for more info soak in ! I’m very lucky in that u have been there & recognise some of the mosaics etc
Yes! I agree 100 percent.
Love all the detail. Better than anything you'd find on TV. We will never tire of these videos on ancient Rome! Please make as many as you can, thank you!
Just before eruption of the Vesuvius in 79AD, people in Pompei could enjoy incredibly wealthy and modern living standard. Probably their standard of living was much better than most of the world in the 19th century. I admire people in Pompei for their miraculous achievement.
The state of preservation is just so amazing, it must be the ultimate experience to actually be there.👍👍
I was there two weeks ago today. An amazing experience. If you go, don't miss Herculaneum! The preservation is even better.
The beauty fills me with so much emotion
This is the information I have always wanted to know! My understanding of Pompeii has increased tenfold. What a work of art!
This is one of a handful of docos I have seen that are relay worth watching . The quality is out standing .
Great video ! The reconstructions of ancient Pompeii are beautiful in all the detail you have put into them . I have thoroughly enjoyed this video . Please keep up the good work .
Yourself and Darius are my favourite historians on CZcams regarding Rome. It’s great seeing both of your insights on this fantastic ancient site
You are an artist and a genius producing these very high-quality, interesting, enrapturing videos. Thank you so much.
Manuel, I am off to Roma tonight. Arrive Saturday AM. Excellent collaboration with Darius. An award winning video. Bravo. I am pleased. Dan
Glad you liked it. See you soon!
This was very well put together. Super professional, informative, and fascinating. Bravo!!
Agreed!
now we know where his name comes from
I was just in Pompeii one month ago (had a similar interest in ancient Roman life) and your video does a great job presenting it! I think the CG renderings are great, they give a sense of what the city would have been originally. Also I also liked the complex houses that were built over time, often joining multiple properties.
Also don’t miss the Archaeological Museum in Naples - that houses a lot of the original pieces from Pompeii. You can spend a whole day there as well!
Did you see the ancient public toilets? I want to take a dump in them. Is this possible?

I was in Pompeii last month. I loved it!! I love ancient history.
I was there the last week of October 2023, it was an amazing experience.
Your video never fails to impress! I’ve been to Pompeii ten years ago and you film is a good refresher of my memory. It looks much more rejuvenated now compared to ten years ago. Good work, well done and a big applause!
I was fortunate enough to visit Pompeii in 2002. An incredible experience. I hope to do it again soon. Great video. Thank you for making it. Blessings from Costa Rica.
I find it amazing how they built these structures without any kind of modern equipment.
I'm excited to take this journey with you Manuel. Lead on!
I remember climbing Vesuvio (my 1st volcano experience ever) and once I reached the top, I was expecting to see an endless deep black hole. To my surprise, it was all "corked" with rocks and rubble. Even some shrubs were growing out of it. It was such a surreal experience seeing a dormant power of nature up close like that
I hope they continue to conserve and rebuild more of the buildings. It's an absolutely stunning location. Just imagining how beautiful the forum was in its prime... I'm glad the pantheon is still standing. Although i wish they'd return original statues and true out the Christian stuff that'd been added.
Your videos are always so well thought out and produced. You really enjoy sharing your fascination with ancient societies, and I really appreciate all the work and passion on display here. Just fantastic, all the time, thank you!
This video was dazzling! Everything about it was great-just the video and the editing are outstanding-but I especially liked the focus on the houses of Pompeii 15:46 with the description of interior features, e.g., the _peristyle_ and the _atrium,_ and how they hold together the invisible “craziness” of the perimeter. The Pompeiians, it seems, had no concept of “curb appeal” whatsoever-not that that’s a bad thing. Every aspect of their homes that mattered-their social spaces, their status markers, their art-took place on the interior. It’s something that had not occurred to me before.
Also, I _really_ appreciated that you respect the original languages enough that you include them in the etymologies (e.g., Περι and Στυλος 18:48) and in the historical texts (the accounts in Latin of Pliny the Younger 26:38). I don’t know Greek or Latin but I’m very roughly “familiar enough” with each one that having the _actual_ language is meaningful.
we do not get that today, how much, for an even slightly significant person, the house would not be a private place but a very public focus, a roundabout of social interaction where the owner would strategically reveal himself to the world through the decorations and presentation he chooses...
with street "curb-appeal" we must remember how dense the city was in terms of population... if any space existed or could be rented from the houses, the sides of any streets would be filled with shops and stalls visually covering any buildings with their bright wares and clothen structures....
walking along the street, there would be commonly no visual of the surrounding houses like we are used to today... the only exception being the doors (which would have presented works of art), or the great gateways of the super-rich...
I visited it several years ago and was in awe. Also visited Ostia Antica which was also very interesting. Thank you for your videos.
I wish we watched this before our tour there in July. Very well done and informative. Our tour barely touched any of these spaces.
I felt the same thoughts, we did not realize all we were seeing…
Yet again, you have explained a place I have already visited more thoroughly than it was explained to me when I was there. Excellent. Particularly enjoyed the section on domestic architecture.
My ex is from Boscoreale, a town on the slope of Vesuvius. She has a villa there. We could often hear and feel the rumble of the volcano. It was normal for everyone there, but super unsettling for me. Especially with the ruins of Pompeii not even a mile away. When that volcano blows again it is going to devastate southern Italy. I’ve lived near several different volcanoes but never on the freaking slope of one. Kinda glad that relationship didn’t work out. I dig this video. I’ve been to most of the places shown here. The cathedral that my ex’s family goes to has a tower that you can ascend and from the top you can see the ruins. The thing that really got under my skin was the amount of litter and garbage just thrown carelessly around the Naples metropolitan area. The graffiti on ancient buildings and war memorials bothered me a lot too. I actually spent a day cleaning up a soldier’s memorial in the town center of Boscoreale. A tween walked right over and tossed a Coke can on the memorial while I was cleaning it. I picked the can up and smoked that kid in the back with the can. His parents scolded him instead of me. The people of the town were very aware of me. I was the only American there so they referred to me as the American or the Paracadutista. I got a lot of special treatment there. The people were very friendly.
The depth of the informations, the quality of the images and the clarity of the exposition are excellent!
Well done.
Thank you.
Wow one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Thank you!!
What a great video!! So professional and not the typical information that’s all well known. Love it!
Your beautiful video brings the lost city to life, it is amazing how modern it feels - more so than medieval sites I have visited
Bravo. Awesome video. Easily the best, most interesting and most informative documentary on Pompeii ever. A thorough historical overview including archaeology, architecture, art history, geology … fascinating.
Thank you.
EXCELLENT video. Very detailed, well explained and educational. Highly recommended!!! Thank you for all your hard work!!!
This is such excellent quality coverage on all levels! Brava Bravo!
Thank you - the best documentary about Pompeii that I have ever seen!

Fabulous, informative video. The aerial shots of the city is fascinating. Thank you.
Found myself searching flights after watching this informative video. Your videos really make a Pompeii walk-about seem easy. New subscriber. Thank you! ❤
A brilliant video, Manuel, thank you so much for the time and effort you and your colleagues put into its production. Your commentary was both excellent and very informative. I will certainly be viewing it again as there is so much to learn
Your videos on historical places are the best. I learned so much. Thank you
I can only imagine just how incredibly beautiful this city was at the time and what a magnificent place it must have been to behold by all of the merchants and traveler's who came there.
It must have truly been a grand and beautiful city to look upon and to be a citizen of.
Excellent video, Manuel. You never disappoint. 😊
I love your videos especially how you explain everything in detail. I'd love to see you share all the sites and historical building on the Camino of Santiago. thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your great work! Amazing video, well done!!😃
You’re so terrific! Love your style and thank you for sharing this amazing and detailed information! 😻❤️🐈🙏🐈⬛🐾💕
I am 73 years old, and I am absolutely passionate about the city of Pompeii, Manuel. Thank you so much for your channel. You and Mr. Arya have a new subscriber. I only wish I was young enough to join you with your research.
Fascinating, thank you for the video!
Maravilloso canal, Manuel, Se agradece el tiempo, esfuerzo y conocimiento que vuelcas en cada uno de tus videos.....

Thank you Manuel for this wonderful production! I didn't know you were this fluent in English, and I'm thankful because I can now share your work with my American family :D Andale, vamos a mas!
I was there about 10 years ago and this video revived my fond memories of the place. Thanks Manuel.
Thanks for the interesting video.
I really enjoyed listening to the information on the domus and the beautiful artwork contained inside!
Great video with a lot of details, very well explained. Thank you for this!!
Absolutely amazing! Professional, accurate, beautiful…
Your channel is amazing. Thank you!
Great job with this video. I'm obsessed with this city and have seen many documentaries and movies. Loved your take on it and your production level is awesome.
Just found and subscribed to your channel! Been subscribed to Darius's channel for a couple of years. Great work by both of you, thanks!
Beautifully done !💐Thank You
A very good introduction and initial overview. Thank you
I’ve been to Pompeii. But thanks to this video, it is much more interesting and educational than the tour guide at Pompeii. Always enjoy your videos!!
phenomenal explanation
Emperor Vespasian got a rescue plan in motion, but it would have been too late for those who did not get out of town. Many would have thought of the tragedy as the will of the gods and wanted to stay away from the site of such tragedy. Others would have tried to reclaim valuables left behind. Looting would have begun in days. The numbers of looters would have become less and less as many would have died in cave-ins as they dug for valuables or were arrested as authorities tried to protect the dignity of the dead (and the property of the rich). Eventually, Pompeii would be forgotten until rediscovered a millennia and a half later.There had to be a slave or two who when faced with his master's death and knowing that there were jewels and cash left in the house, decided to try and locate the buried villa and dig down to find the treasure. A few, finding people turned into charcoal corpses, would have given up the effort and sought out other ways to make money.
I was in Pompeii last week. It absolutely fascinated me. I would love to go back and spend more time on a cooler day. Hopefully that is possible someday. Thank you for the great video .
Gracias y enhorabuena por tan grandísimo trabajo. Genial.
Awesome video! Thank you very much for making it, and sharing it.
This is the best way of visiting Pompeii until I actually visit it in person, and maybe even after I do!
I see how it is easy to lose focus and just miss out on so many things!
You do a great job on your videos. Keep up the good work!
What an amazing city. Very informative and learned a lot.
Very interesting commentary this very knowledgeable articulate architect narrated the story… the whole film had me captivated …
Wonderful! So informative and interesting.
Excellent video like always.
He visto unos cuantos videos sobre este tema de Pompeya y el tuyo es excelente! Muchas gracias!
Such good writing. Excellent!
Fantastic video. Very compelling.
This was incredibly interesting! Thanks!
What an incredible video on Pompeii! I'm truly impressed by the meticulous research that Manuel Bravo has put into this. It's amazing how much more we can learn about the history of Pompeii, and this video has been an enlightening experience.
The detailed exploration of Pompeian homes and the insights into the economy of the time were particularly fascinating. It's like taking a step back in time and getting a glimpse of what life was really like in that ancient city.
The visuals, especially the pictures, added a whole new dimension to the storytelling. They brought the historical facts to life, making it even more engaging.
After watching this, I'm genuinely excited about the prospect of visiting Pompeii one day. The way you've presented it has made me want to experience the place for myself and explore its rich history.
Manuel Bravo, keep up the fantastic work and research! Your passion for this topic shines through, and it's been a pleasure to learn from your video. Looking forward to more insightful content like this in the future.
From the perspective of a past visitor to Pompeii I can say this is an Excellent video!
From a broad perspective of the city layout noting & describing the significant structures, especially those surrounding the Forum, followed by the same level of detail in describing sample homes (domus) covering the art & architecture. I would highly recommend this video to anyone studying a history of the Roman world & to use as a guide while visiting Pompeii.
I went to Pompeii in 2021. I loved to walk around it as i love history, but i also felt a strong sadness. Thank you for making this. It brought back great memories.
Love your videos, and this one not any less than the other ones
Well done Manuel Bravo!
Spent a couple of days in Pompei on my way down to Malta. Found the experience to be unsettling as well as fascinating. A lot of the tourist were fascinating as well, walking in groups, at pace,to just get around the city, suspected they didnt see much.
A new subscriber here. You do great job Manuel, keep it up!
Really liked this video! The music choices were really great and I think they added a lot to the weight of the subject matter.
Excelente video como siempre Manuel; gracias ojalá y puedas hacer uno sobre leptón magna 😊
Very well done. Thank you.
