When I was 8, I saw a National Geographic article about Pompeii. It sparked my interest in so many things, ancient cultures, artifacts...even volcanos and earthquakes. The geological interest waned but I was always interested in the people. Who were they, what did they do? Who were their families? I read a lot, watched documentaries and by the time I got there in 2017, I was quite educated in it but it still did NOT disappoint! 37 year old dream came true.
I was literally just thinking about that that copy of NG. I too was young when I first saw it. Probably about the same age you were. Until then I didn't know there were people that actually studied how people died long ago. It turned into a fascination I still have today. (Obviously since I'm watching this video. 😂) You're so fortunate to have visited the real city!
I've always had a fascination for Pompeii history since high school. To think we have actual visual and touchable evidence of the people of this time. It's really mind blowing. 🤯🤯🤯
It makes me sad a little when I see some of them the way they were face down on the ground or sitting in a crouched self hugging position. I can't imagine being so afraid and not sure of whats happening around you, so terrifying what these people went though. I'm so sorry.
I was there in 1977 and is was fascinating then, now so much more has been recovered. It looks like just to many People walking in the buildings and roads and its going to breakdown faster. All of the professionals are doing all they can to preserve it, I am surely impress with what they have done so far.
And has humanity learned their lesson, even after time and time again God punishes entire nations for turning away from Him? Nope, apparently not, because the world's leaders are letting sexual immorality and other forms of wickedness run just as rampant as in Rome once more.
People who live in areas prone to flooding, tsunami and landslides have the same mentality. Especially in global south, They know that the area is at risk but they still like to live there and set up illegal settlements on land they dont own, then the govt has to use taxpayers money for search and rescues when disaster hits
I visited Pompeii last week, it was fascinating to literally walk through an ancient city. I wanted to go there all my life, I think I still haven’t seen enough of it, will go back there one time.
I saw the bodies when I was there. It was very sobering. Pompeii itself with it's volcano hovering above is very eerie. Standing at the top is freaky too....I didn't care to go all the way to the edge but my family got pretty close. The streets are blackened from it...so it's very eerie. I couldn't wait to come back down.
Looking up at Vesuvius from Pompeii I was stunned at just how close it is to the city. If one didn't leave immediately and keep going, they didn't stand a chance.
I was recently in Pompeii and it’s absolutely fascinating how well preserved the town is, especially the paint in the frescoes. You get a real sense of everyday life when you visit. I’ll have an episode on my podcast about it
All things Roman Empie fascinate me. Pompeii and Herculaneum even more so. I hope, even though I am old, I get a chance to walk those streets and feel all those spirits and souls. Rome gave our western culture very much, and I, for one, am grateful for all they have given us. Shout out to The Greeks for giving so much to their society and by extension, ours.
The stories of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius are some of my very earliest memories. My beloved older brother, though in his middle teens, took the time to first teach me to READ....then gave me access to his favorite books: the stories of these 2 ancient cities...and the volcano which preserved them for the Future. I started Kindergarten able to read at a 3rd grade level. My teacher was perplexed. When we did our first Show And Tell...mine was of 2 ancient cities and a famous Volcano. NOT your typical 5 year old. And I wondered why the other kids--except for my BFF Sister, Kenyatta--thought I was weird? Lol.
You were so smart that you made them feel stupid. Don't worry, you were on the right track. My mother always read me books when I was a young boy. So I developed a love of reading and writing growing up and I was always a grade ahead in terms of reading and writing level; also from grades 1 to 6, I always aced any spelling tests we had even getting the bonus words right. There is nothing to be more proud of than when your child is ahead of the rest of their peers when it comes to education. My younger cousin skipped 2 grades I believe and I couldn't be prouder. We need more smart people, and less smart shaming from the dumb people.
@@andrew2477 YOU were a spelling ace, too? Shortly after I started 1st grade, the teacher told my mom at Conference that I was a good candidate for being taught phonics. She told Mom the State had cut phonics from standard curriculum but she would teach me. Talk about an edge with our spell-downs. I got quite a rep as never getting spelled-down, and the Class Clown, when he saw he was matched against me, pretended to cry and sat down. I liked his humor so when he asked me out to the Homecoming Dance 3 years later, I remembered and said "yes". He hadn't changed. The leg-ups I got as a little kid really gave me an edge later on. I lost my big bro to Agent Orange cancer...but I passed his gift of his time and love on to my girls.

@@user-nz8gr7em6o I was never obnoxious about it. I was the quiet goofy kid.

Om the way many of the bodies are set up it looks as though they accepted their fate. I believe there is one cast of a man and woman together laying on their sides. He has his arm around her as if protecting her but they are in a relaxed pose. In another a parent, mother I presume, is holding a child to their chest while sitting and leaning forward. Imagine seeing what was coming and knowing you were not going to escape.
@@rmp7400 You're right. When I learned about how lightly they treated sacred things and the sexual immorality and other wickedness that ran rampant, I cringed and shuddered at how such things could be allowed to happen. Unfortunately, our world today is just as bad in that respect.
Very intriguing but at the same time it's a large graveyard where a very catastrophic event occurred and kind of disrespectful that people disturb their final place and trample through it sightseeing, I'm sure it's fascinating to see and probably quite haunted
@@carljeinkins5514 I think about that too, one day our family cemetery will be overgrown and forgotten...until discovered and bodies unearthed...but then I remember, I'm being cremated, so it won't matter. haha
I had a dream about a guy whose last name was Pompelli, but called Pompeii as a nickname. I’m not consciously familiar with either, so I wanted to learn about Pompeii. How horrifically cool is it that the bodies of these people were mummified in stone?! Imagine seeing ash all day, like snow, and it’s like spot rain. That could happen in a place like Jersey. Imagine not being alarmed by that cause u can’t do squat about it. Did it happen several times till the eruption or was it a first time thing? Street patterns are really cool. It’s not just quickest route either. They had to take turns. Now that we know Pompeii has routes, are we using them to tour it? I think we should at lea at try to move as they did in their place, now that we know. Imagine touring Pompeii and just holding up ur camera to see a digital remake of all those lovely colors and shapes, roof popped back on, stuff like that. They are redoing it IRL, which is even cooler. I bet the person who did that graffiti did not think it would be studied as culture eons later. What an honor! My kid is going to school in Kyoto Sangyo, Japan. That particular part is a history buff’s dream cause there haven’t been many disasters since their big fire and a lot of it has been preserved. My kid is gonna see all of it IRL and he’ll send me videos. Oh I’d love to travel the world, but I don’t wanna leave my house or like be stuck on a hotel island. I’ll just send my child on tour and let him paint me pictures.
This is fascinating to watch- visited yesterday and currently half an hour away. An incredible experience! It shocked me though that visitors could walk on the original roads and touch the remains- I assumed we would be walking on some sort of platform to protect it. So amazing what is there to see!
@@feliciaboston6365 You're laughing now, but so did the people in Noah's time before the floods came. So did the people of Sodom and of Gomorrah before a similar fiery death rained down on them. The people of Pompeii probably would've laughed at you before the eruption happened if you told them it was going to happen. Do not mock the fact cities can be destroyed in a moment's notice if God is displeased with them.
I live in Torre Annunziata, next to Pompei. The whole area is full of amazing ruins. We have the "Oplontis Villa" and in Boscoreale (next to us) there is "Villa Regina" with the Anriquarium Museum, in which you can admire some casts (people, a dog and a horse). We wait for you to visir us ❤
Such chaos in natural disasters, shockingly fascinating and scary, I actually went into a deep depression and psychosis after delving into documentaries about tsunamis, the dismay and destruction, I cannot help but sympathize aswell as instinctively calculate the situations, bringing immense stress and sadness
I just watched this video that animated everything that would have happened. I wasn't sure if I was even gonna get through the video, because I couldn't stop imagining what it was life for the people there.
@SHAWN-rz6vu .... understand completely how you felt. I learned the hard way, like you ... and had to step away from watching documentaries such as these for my mental health from time to time. I found that glutting on such documentaries, which I was guilty of was too much for my mindset and heart ... learned that depression is not a place to be.
This was very good. I would hope they would stop the tourism onslaught to help preserve the city. I noticed that the vegetation was really beautiful. I wonder if they have planted certain tree's or flowers?
Tho I do respect your idea of not visiting. There is a point when life should go on and something that happened I'm a.d. is something to move on from. People still need places to live.
@phillane2529 are you insinuating that people should..live there? Mount Vesuvius is one of the most deadly volcanoes in the world and it's overdue for eruption. The last time it erupted was in 1944. Anyone who "lives" there is asking for death. It's inhabitable for human life.
We just visited today a small part of Pompeii. It’s a great experience to be able to walk on the streets, but you really need more than one day to can visit all
I was blessed to see pompeii. And come to find out there's other layers of cities beneath the Pompeii on top they think there's three or four cities on top of each other where they rebuilt over the centuries.
Pompeii used to be a city full of life. Now its practically covered with dense amount of volcanic ashes. A tragic volcanic eruption had basically wiped away the mere existence of this historical landmark. This had been adapted into a film back in the day. I saw a picture (a man and woman embracing one another) as they grab hold and prepare for what might be one of ancient history's biggest disasters to ever occur in the face of the planet.
Gladiators was a sports game. Nowadays we dont do it but there’s boxing, mma and other stuff. Its less cruelty but it’s considered to be a sport at the time
gladiators didn’t fight to the death, usually. they were expensive, and slaves, meant for entertainment. it would be an extreme waste of money to have them fight to the death.
Amazing! Reminds us of SIGIRIYA Kingdom of Sri Lanka. A country with more than 30,000 years of engineering technology. Sri Lankan engineers knew how to build earthen clay pipes and used them to pressure water upto Sigiriya rock water gardens and swimmimg pools. Pompei was well organised and artistic just like city of Anuradhapura and Yapahuwa of Sri Lanka. I wish our scientists and archeologists had the latest technology to scan what"s behind Sigiriya rock.
Around 9:00. Vesuvius is NOT the most dangerous volcano in the world just because a lot of people live around it. There are much bigger threats where there are sparse populations around them but are a threat to the entire global population.
It's just amazing how well preserved the people and animals are. That's why it's fascinating to do many of us. Frozen in what they were doing in that moment
Iv'e a photograph of me leaning against something in the streets of Pompeii that was taken 54 years ago. I wonder what's changed and what has been done since that time. Just think, - when they city was lost, those people were themselves living in an ancient city. It would be like you and I in a city from the 1300's - or the early middle ages !
Is it me or they had really good and thick teeth? Well, their diet was probably way better than us today. No junkfood, no sugar addiction etc. If they find me in a thousand year they will see the truth about my diet well at least how addicted to sugar I was since I cut it out. But the time I was It effected the enamel of my teeth. I believe it became very common nowadays to have fragile enamel. Also, the pourcentage of obesity that was probably very rare back then compared of today, it's just incredible.
Shared this with my friend who loves history and lives in Kuwait and it says “the uploaded has not made this video available to your country” - May I ask why?
Love this channel. Book recommendation for anyone interested in this subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, death, the afterlife, time travel, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, portals and gateways, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids, Hebrew letters, etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.
With regard to the roads: raised foot paths, traffic flow, ruts from cart wheels - they did not say if there might have been regulations for cart sizes & distances between wheels for carts, etc. to operate properly within the town. First thing that came to mind were the differences in railroad track gauging here in the U.S., all trains could not travel on all tracks.
I frequently hear that there was no word in latin for a volcano, prior to Vesuvius' eruptin in 79 AD; is this actually true? How can the Romans not have known what a volcano was? Etna was within their domain, and is a fairly active volcano; how did they not have a word for a mountain like that?
In the same way, Germany didn’t have formal names for grassy hills or uncultivated, desolate land until the medieval period, when people had more time and curiosity to explore and categorize their surroundings. Throughout history, some aspects of nature were taken for granted until survival or necessity forced them into focus. I believe that things don't become a concern until curiosity meets the mind or external circumstances demand our attention. In modern times, we have the privilege of exploring out of curiosity alone, as we're no longer faced with the survival challenges that those in the past confronted. Thanks to their struggles, we now have the knowledge and freedom to explore purely for the sake of understanding.

There were several towns on the other side, but the prevailing winds were blowing directly from Vesuvius toward Pompeii and Herculaneum. For that reason, Herculaneum and Pompeii got the full brunt of the eruption, while the towns on the other side only got a dusting and were able to clear the streets in short order. There, the damage was caused more by the earthquakes associated with the eruption than from ash and pyroclastic flows. It still would have been terrifying to have been there. The crazy thing was that the winds don't normally blow from Vesuvius toward Pompeii and Herculaneum. It was so unusual that Pliny the Younger wrote about it from the Island where he witnessed and wrote about the whole event (his uncle, Pliny the Elder, took a ship and sailed toward Pompeii in hopes of rescuing people, but was himself engulfed in the ash and perished as the pyroclastic flows rolled out to sea). Both Pliny the elder and Pliny the younger were great writers of their time, and losing Pliny the elder was a great tragedy for Rome, and even for our time. Fortunately, there are copies of many of the writings of both men still extant. The area on all sides of Vesuvius has always been fairly heavily settled primarily because the very soil which makes the area so dangerous to live in, ironically makes it the most fertile soil in Italy, and some of the best soil in all of Europe and the middle east to grow grapes for wine and olives for all purposes. Prices for olives and grapes grown in the region regularly bring prices three to four times higher than usual international market value. You take your chances and hope that it won't be your generation which is killed when it goes. Vesuvius is a strombolian volcano, and as such it only erupts explosively once in a great while. It erupts with more slowly moving lava flows more frequently, and it's easy to evacuate the area when those eruptions occur, though plenty of property damage is usually the result. Vesuvius is far from dormant though, and when it next forms a plug, the end result will be a big kaboom will burry Naples, and likely kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. It is interesting to note that a large part of both Pompeii and Herculaneum remain unexcavated below the City of Naples. Since homes and business are built on top of them, it is unlikely that the entire sight will ever be completely dug and documented.
Those poor souls had no idea what was happening. They had no idea what a volcano is much less an eruption. They probably thought the gods were angry at them.
Living in LA I wish my city was in a grid system like NYC, everything is so complex and far apart. In a way it’s kinda cool, it’s unpredictable. Even Downtown La is not a grid, it’s a weird oval shape with random roads. :/

The people of Pompeii probably would've laughed at you before the eruption happened if you told them it was going to happen.
Do not mock the fact cities can be destroyed in a moment's notice if God is displeased with them.
@@EmilyS-gk3stNoah never existed, quit believe in fairy tales
that's have plot of futurama
I live in Torre Annunziata, next to Pompei. The whole area is full of amazing ruins. We have the "Oplontis Villa" and in Boscoreale (next to us) there is "Villa Regina" with the Anriquarium Museum, in which you can admire some casts (people, a dog and a horse). We wait for you to visir us ❤
I was in Pompeii and Rome about in 2023, and omg, it was amazing. Seeing it in person compared to what you see on yt and 📺 the Colosseum. My favorite
Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter is learning about volcanoes, but I have never seen anything dangerous like this before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such chaos in natural disasters, shockingly fascinating and scary, I actually went into a deep depression and psychosis after delving into documentaries about tsunamis, the dismay and destruction, I cannot help but sympathize aswell as instinctively calculate the situations, bringing immense stress and sadness
I just watched this video that animated everything that would have happened. I wasn't sure if I was even gonna get through the video, because I couldn't stop imagining what it was life for the people there.
@SHAWN-rz6vu .... understand completely how you felt. I learned the hard way, like you ... and had to step away from watching documentaries such as these for my mental health from time to time. I found that glutting on such documentaries, which I was guilty of was too much for my mindset and heart ... learned that depression is not a place to be.
mannnn psychosis is NOT fun 😭
@SHAWN-rz6vu
If i ever go to pompeii im going to cry for all those people
I visited Pompeii in 2010 and it was incredible, how well preserved everything is
This is an amazingly thoughtful project to preserve this amazing part of archaeological heritage and history
I’m very impressed by the frescoes above all else. Assuming they weren’t restored in modern times, the techniques used were very advanced for 79 AD.
Especially the heated hot water
@@katherinealbee6952 "Heated hot water" lol
Awesome documentary, Africa is the truly the cradle of Mankind
That man really bothers me... It's so SAD!! HE LOOKS SO SHOCKED.... IM SURE HE FELT NOTHING...BUT ...ITS ...SO...SAD
Imagine going back in time scary
Some of the people actually look as if they are still alive .it's amazing ❤❤❤😊😊
This was very good. I would hope they would stop the tourism onslaught to help preserve the city. I noticed that the vegetation was really beautiful. I wonder if they have planted certain tree's or flowers?
Tho I do respect your idea of not visiting. There is a point when life should go on and something that happened I'm a.d. is something to move on from. People still need places to live.
@phillane2529 are you insinuating that people should..live there? Mount Vesuvius is one of the most deadly volcanoes in the world and it's overdue for eruption. The last time it erupted was in 1944. Anyone who "lives" there is asking for death. It's inhabitable for human life.
We just visited today a small part of Pompeii. It’s a great experience to be able to walk on the streets, but you really need more than one day to can visit all
I was blessed to see pompeii. And come to find out there's other layers of cities beneath the Pompeii on top they think there's three or four cities on top of each other where they rebuilt over the centuries.
Pompeii used to be a city full of life. Now its practically covered with dense amount of volcanic ashes. A tragic volcanic eruption had basically wiped away the mere existence of this historical landmark. This had been adapted into a film back in the day. I saw a picture (a man and woman embracing one another) as they grab hold and prepare for what might be one of ancient history's biggest disasters to ever occur in the face of the planet.
It took the world millennia to recover from the fall of Rome. In some ways, we are still trying to recover.
Was here back in the late 1990's, so cool to see in person.
Who are you kidding? These "sports games " were a strange way of entertainment for these early civilizations. We do not fight to the death as they did
Seriously?
Now we just go around shooting each other and killing millions of unborn babies😱😱😱😱😱
Gladiators was a sports game. Nowadays we dont do it but there’s boxing, mma and other stuff. Its less cruelty but it’s considered to be a sport at the time
gladiators didn’t fight to the death, usually. they were expensive, and slaves, meant for entertainment. it would be an extreme waste of money to have them fight to the death.
U have to wonder if the Romans love for hot springs led to them building this town in this spot
Man I can't imagine the terror they felt and how they felt a horrible pain before they died. So sad.
I got to visit last year and it really is amazing! One day is not enough! It’s a huge site with soo mich to see! I loved it!
How much does it cost to visit
Amazing! Reminds us of SIGIRIYA Kingdom of Sri Lanka. A country with more than 30,000 years of engineering technology. Sri Lankan engineers knew how to build earthen clay pipes and used them to pressure water upto Sigiriya rock water gardens and swimmimg pools. Pompei was well organised and artistic just like city of Anuradhapura and Yapahuwa of Sri Lanka. I wish our scientists and archeologists had the latest technology to scan what"s behind Sigiriya rock.
I hope they do! What you described sounds beautiful and quite a sight! ❤
Around 9:00. Vesuvius is NOT the most dangerous volcano in the world just because a lot of people live around it. There are much bigger threats where there are sparse populations around them but are a threat to the entire global population.
still blows my mind that things from our history is still being discovered and found
After sifting through and sampling Pompeii videos, none were holding my attention until i found this, and a new channel that looks great! Thanks.
Was these the Lut A.S. people?
yes
Very insightful and informative, Great video 👍👍
this is an amazing vid and i enjoy your conntent keep going
This is a reminder of how tenuous life is. Very tragic.
It's just amazing how well preserved the people and animals are. That's why it's fascinating to do many of us. Frozen in what they were doing in that moment
just went there yesterday..came on CZcams for some more detailed explanations
Iv'e a photograph of me leaning against something in the streets of Pompeii that was taken 54 years ago. I wonder what's changed and what has been done since that time.
Just think, - when they city was lost, those people were themselves living in an ancient city. It would be like you and I in a city from the 1300's - or the early middle ages !
Where does the massive funding for this project come from?
I imagine donations from Universities or certain scientific tv shows, etc.
Tourists.
I just can’t get over that wine has had feet in it at some point lol
Good thing alcohol is sterilizing
If anyone hasn't seen the movie Pompeii it's amazing highly recommend
Is it me or they had really good and thick teeth? Well, their diet was probably way better than us today. No junkfood, no sugar addiction etc. If they find me in a thousand year they will see the truth about my diet well at least how addicted to sugar I was since I cut it out. But the time I was It effected the enamel of my teeth. I believe it became very common nowadays to have fragile enamel. Also, the pourcentage of obesity that was probably very rare back then compared of today, it's just incredible.
Shared this with my friend who loves history and lives in Kuwait and it says “the uploaded has not made this video available to your country” - May I ask why?
First off who's comfortable living next to a volcano 🌋
Hawaii be like…
Fantastically done 😊
Love this channel. Book recommendation for anyone interested in this subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, death, the afterlife, time travel, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, portals and gateways, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids, Hebrew letters, etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.
Wonder how Pompeii would have flourished today had it not been wiped out by a Vesuvius
Sometimes "Duck And Cover" doesn't work.
This beyond fascinating Purely amazing.
Fascinating! 😊
I LOVE this historical information
you better
Fantastic video! I’ve always been totally fascinated in Pompeii and it’s people. Just love it 😍
With regard to the roads: raised foot paths, traffic flow, ruts from cart wheels - they did not say if there might have been regulations for cart sizes & distances between wheels for carts, etc. to operate properly within the town. First thing that came to mind were the differences in railroad track gauging here in the U.S., all trains could not travel on all tracks.
Amazing to see a person's face from before the time of Christ
This was after Christ died.
Jesus died and rose in about 30-33 AD.
AD not BC
I ,d like one day Virtualy visit Pompeii
Me rn
My class was watching the video and I LOVE IT❤❤❤❤❤
I went to Pompeii for one of my cruise spots and it’s insane how big it is I got to ever walk in it it was amazing.
Perfect.
Thanks 😎
Liked & Subscribed.
I've always wanted to know more about this
I wonder if this is the city that Lot & his family came out of that’s mentioned in the Bible.
@@evermateo6166That's something to think about.
My grandpas last name comes from Pompeii, it was changed to pompa when his family came to America
i visited Pompei in 2023 i’m glad i visited ❤❤❤
I frequently hear that there was no word in latin for a volcano, prior to Vesuvius' eruptin in 79 AD; is this actually true? How can the Romans not have known what a volcano was? Etna was within their domain, and is a fairly active volcano; how did they not have a word for a mountain like that?
In the same way, Germany didn’t have formal names for grassy hills or uncultivated, desolate land until the medieval period, when people had more time and curiosity to explore and categorize their surroundings. Throughout history, some aspects of nature were taken for granted until survival or necessity forced them into focus. I believe that things don't become a concern until curiosity meets the mind or external circumstances demand our attention. In modern times, we have the privilege of exploring out of curiosity alone, as we're no longer faced with the survival challenges that those in the past confronted. Thanks to their struggles, we now have the knowledge and freedom to explore purely for the sake of understanding.
At school I'm learning about pompeii for real
I’m dying to visit Pompeii one day…🤞🏼hopefully next year..if god permits
It’s amazing! Go in September or October when it’s off season and cooler. You could spend three days there
Great information and great video
Wow! Very good!😊😊😊
I have to say, Kilburn is an awesome last name for a vulcanologist
5:15 - 7:30 how they kniw abt them
People chipping away at it + solution 7:48 - 9:29
Technology usage
Herculaneum destruction - 19:29
Library + it's sensitivity 19:46
Words 22:35
I only can imagine if some of the warriors were off somewhere and came back to find their home gone , family dead , that must have been so sad
Think about how much they'll be able to find 10 or 20 years from now when technology has developed further. Amazing
What about the other side of the volcano? Was there a town on the other side?
There were several towns on the other side, but the prevailing winds were blowing directly from Vesuvius toward Pompeii and Herculaneum. For that reason, Herculaneum and Pompeii got the full brunt of the eruption, while the towns on the other side only got a dusting and were able to clear the streets in short order. There, the damage was caused more by the earthquakes associated with the eruption than from ash and pyroclastic flows. It still would have been terrifying to have been there. The crazy thing was that the winds don't normally blow from Vesuvius toward Pompeii and Herculaneum. It was so unusual that Pliny the Younger wrote about it from the Island where he witnessed and wrote about the whole event (his uncle, Pliny the Elder, took a ship and sailed toward Pompeii in hopes of rescuing people, but was himself engulfed in the ash and perished as the pyroclastic flows rolled out to sea). Both Pliny the elder and Pliny the younger were great writers of their time, and losing Pliny the elder was a great tragedy for Rome, and even for our time. Fortunately, there are copies of many of the writings of both men still extant.
The area on all sides of Vesuvius has always been fairly heavily settled primarily because the very soil which makes the area so dangerous to live in, ironically makes it the most fertile soil in Italy, and some of the best soil in all of Europe and the middle east to grow grapes for wine and olives for all purposes. Prices for olives and grapes grown in the region regularly bring prices three to four times higher than usual international market value. You take your chances and hope that it won't be your generation which is killed when it goes.
Vesuvius is a strombolian volcano, and as such it only erupts explosively once in a great while. It erupts with more slowly moving lava flows more frequently, and it's easy to evacuate the area when those eruptions occur, though plenty of property damage is usually the result. Vesuvius is far from dormant though, and when it next forms a plug, the end result will be a big kaboom will burry Naples, and likely kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. It is interesting to note that a large part of both Pompeii and Herculaneum remain unexcavated below the City of Naples. Since homes and business are built on top of them, it is unlikely that the entire sight will ever be completely dug and documented.

@@Chompchompyerded my goodness
@@Chompchompyerded Thank you!
@@ChompchompyerdedThis is great detail. Thank you.
They have better teeth back then than me who use different flavors of toothpaste.
That's because sugar really wasn't a thing back then till like 1800's
Only Muslim knows 🌝😶🌚
Those poor souls had no idea what was happening. They had no idea what a volcano is much less an eruption. They probably thought the gods were angry at them.
They kind of were angry at them, for not participating in sacrifices
@@aboxoftentacles1395the who did WHAT now???
They knew what the volcano was, they probably just didn't know or was going to erupt.
Living in LA I wish my city was in a grid system like NYC, everything is so complex and far apart. In a way it’s kinda cool, it’s unpredictable. Even Downtown La is not a grid, it’s a weird oval shape with random roads. :/
I know what you're talking about. I was born in Glendale and know los angeles like back of my hand. Yes, everything is so far away. I live in mission hills and it takes awhile to get downtown by bus.
Great video
