Awesome place, I could go back and wander those streets for a month, easy.
The Bible is so historically accurate.
They will never find Pink Floyd's hidden stash 😉
Allaah Subhaanaha wa Ta'Ala destroyed that community because it was a source of immorality and degeneracy along with worshipping false deities.
Sodom and Gomorrah
Pompeii and Hurcaleaeneum
I saw this on morning news live Amazing ❤ wish you would have aired more of this piece to share with my friends, ❤
Let me guess,they found another brothel. Or maybe tapes of a Pink Floyd rehearsal.
Reporter at 0:28 “Doing things that women didn’t do at the time” Historian at 0:40 “Did they do those things? We still don’t know that”.
I love stories like this.
Those women were prostitutes and most likely performing for the men and higher rulers of the time
Beautiful 🤩
How long can pigments last?
I read an article about Pompeii and there were lots of places where people could buy food to eat like we do at fast food places. And if i remember correctly they also had shower houses, where families could go for showers etc. Even ones for women only and men only. Seems even in ancient times people liked fast food and to take showers or baths. Those paintings were interesting alright. God bless.
Great discovery
Finally something good to watch 😁👍
I remember the last moments of Pompei. I was a war that ended that beautiful land. Fireballs were sent streaming down upon the residents of that magical land. More than just Humans were visible in those days. Such a heart breaking memory.
How is this ‘new’? It should be titled ‘ongoing’. That’s what these digs are since being discovered
Make Pompeii great again
They have found stuff that is thousands of years old still in one piece and I can't even get a new vehicle that doesn't have problems within 6 months. Psh.
I just daw Pompeii tje other day. This is cool
So cool.
I would like to move there ❤

Nowhere near as classy as Mar-a-Largo, FL.
Both in 1967 & 1997, I was in Pompeii and walked some of the cobbled streets & saw some of the rooms, "casts" of some of the original inhabitants. As time goes on and more is uncovered, I'm sure we will learn more about how these people lived before the erruption of Vesuvius happened.
History is indeed 'fortunate' that the erruption was in Ash and Not in lava, otherwise this history 'treasure' would have 'been lost' forever! It is unfortunate that people lost their lives, but hopefully sciencetists/geologists can also learn from this castrophe how or if people can be protected from volcanos.
