    Pompeii, the #1 location I want to visit sometime soon in my life.
    Finally, an docu about Pompeii that doesn’t focus on the disaster.

      You must and to Herculaneum - but if you go you have to go to the museum in Naples where most of the portable artefacts from Pompeii are housed - you could spend days there there is so much to see

      Number 2 my friend. You really must see Herculaneum, destroyed along side Pompei on 79ad. Herculaneum is better preserved as it was covered by pyroclastic materials.

      Go with a small group and a professional guide. It’s difficult to hear all the details even if they give you an earpiece if you are with a large group. Wear capable shoes like hiking style and bring a good camera. You won’t regret it.

    My time in Pompeii was too short. I never saw anything like this. The theaters weren't available. Never take a tour to a place like this. You need all day to see Pompeii and another to see the museums in Naples, not to mention Herculaneum.

    I've always thought of Roman architecture as just marble and solid white concrete. I never realized how much red brick they used. Pretty crazy how similar their red brick work looks like today's brick.

    The wine from Gaza came from further away & thus was probably more expensive. Which would explain the single amphora. Yes they may have sold more of the other stuff but that was probably also price related. We know from later European records that wine tradition had been kept relatively the same since the romans up to the middle ages & renaissance.

    Artificial intelligence, in constructing images related to Pompeii, would do well not to use those of Fayyum, which is in Egypt, while Pompeii is in Italy.
    The people depicted in those portraits are from Roman times, but they belong to Egyptian families of mixed Egyptian-Greek ethnicity.
    Although Americans like to think otherwise, the majority of Pompeii's inhabitants were not African, but European.

    • @themaskedman221
      @themaskedman221 Před 3 dny

      I knew something was suspicious about the Julia Felix portrait. All the frescoes depict images of lighter skinned Europeans, while Julia's "portrait" was more exotic looking. At first I assumed that she may have been mixed or may have simply had more Mediterranean features, but after looking her up (just out of general interest -not to see what she looked like) I soon realized there is no portrait of her that's survived. So, the portrait they used was fake and I dare say deceptive.
      "Although Americans like to think otherwise, "
      I'm American and don't know anyone who thinks Pompeii's inhabitants were "African," except maybe Afro-centrists.
