Stunning artworks have been uncovered in a new excavation at Pompeii, the ancient Roman city buried in an eruption from Mount Vesuvius in AD79.
Archaeologists say the frescos are among the finest to be found in the ruins of the ancient site.
Mythical Greek figures such as Helen of Troy are depicted on the high black walls of a large banqueting hall.
The room’s near-complete mosaic floor incorporates more than a million individual white tiles.

Hallelujah archaeologists !!!
New anchor please.
I like how it's just a really simple image set against the black background….it really stands out. I wonder what it would've felt like to go in a time machine back to that room before the eruption with a few oil lamps…talk about atmospheric!.
My dog, Tuco, is a ringer for that dog in the painting.
Very cool!
Just this once the BBC is getting a like from me. It's something out of the ordinary considering its abysmal coverage of the ongoing genocide.
The room would look even larger in low lamp light, and the small people paintings would look like they were across the room, at a distance. Yes, flickering on the paintings. 😮😮😮😊🎉
Stunning wow
Interesting but what ugly people. Yuk. I guess that is Britain now.
Thought was biggus dickus depicted 😂
This can’t be the bbc news there’s no virtue signaling or agenda pushing shite 😂😂😂
Obama's birth certificate is burried in the walls of that place
Amazing 👍👍👍
Show us more of the room. Too much blabbering by talking heads. Yak, yak, yak!
Sinful people of pompeii
Import beautiful history
why the red hair? i wouldnt thing peoples of that area at that time would have had red hair
Amazing! Beautiful artworks, thank you for the excellent reporting.
Was it more or less intact then? Why did they not find any furniture?
I don’t understand… this room was recently found? Is it underground? How come noone found it for 2000 years… or was it filled with soil and just ended up shovel it out?
The poor slaves are not important. Only the rich people around
Those paintings aren't new at all! They're roughly 2000 years old.
The art expert looks like a bowler that smoked too many cigarettes so unprofessional should’ve been a man with a suit not to chattering chickens
Paint that still so vibrant after being buried in corrosive volcanic ash, for 2000 years, and did not oxidize at the very contact with oxygen immediately upon excavation…. Yeah right.
I don’t see anything “fancy or nice about being a Slave for the Romans 2000 years ago ! Forget that b s !!! The Romans were pure Evil 👿
I no longer watch this pro genocide channel.
Revelation 22:16
Jesus Christ is EROS Lucifer morningstar
POMPEII Roman earthquake plus volcano mountain Vesuvius erupt end, sin City 😮😅😊
Exciting!
I'm traveling there next October, can't wait to see these with my own eyes. 😍
Why don't they build a roof for the room since the sunlight will fade these 2000 year old paintings pretty fast?
