Eternal Pompeii | Full History Documentary

It was a major catastrophe in human history when the Roman seaport of Pompeii was buried under the ashes of the Vesuvius volcano and became world famous for its downfall. But that is also the starting point for a little-known story: the reconstruction of the region and the crisis management of the Roman emperors, among both economic recovery and criminal enrichment. A story of extreme modernity, from which we still can learn today how to deal with natural disasters.

I've seen a lot of documentaries on Pompeii and Herculaneum. This is by far one of the best! I especially like the excellent narration by, James Edward Carter, English actor.

I am looking forward to visit bay of Naples and Capri in early November few week's time.
I will be looking forward to visit Pompeii and hurculaneum and walk along the edge of the volcano.

Amazing how they have an entire ancient city just preserved from lava flow eternally stuck on that same day at that same time forever until it’s destroyed again or just covered by the water or earth naturally. I’d love to see it in person along with ancient Egypt and Jerusalem….

47 ish in 💔😭 those poor stallions, bridled, closed in, the would've been desperate to escape (likely for days as the ground shook, animals often react way in advance to tsunamis, earthquakes etc and flee). RIP

Naples is so close to Vesuvius that, in a way, I wondered or feared if Vesuvius would again explode. I know the volcano had a light eruption near the end of WWII but nothing big or to the magnitude of the one that destroyed Pompeii or Herculanum.

46.47 💔😭 so sad that they destroy such a valuable site, ruining our knowledge of the lives, habits etc of ancient people 😬 hope the police found them.🙏

This is difficult to listen to. Either have the English translation or the original Italian but not both at the same time! Very distracting at least for me. I finally jyst turned the sound off.

Zippy do da zippy ye. My oh my, what a wonderful

Saying "nothing" had happened in living memory is inaccurate. Just because it hadn't erupted in living memory didn't mean the volcano was inactive or even thought to be. It was regularly active, shooting off columns of smoke, little earthquakes, etc. and this was pretty normal, but increased in frequency & severity leading up to the earthquake leading to many people leaving before the actual eruption even started. Even moreso, there was a significant earthquake 15 years prior that led to many people leaving Pompeii in fear of more activity

A bit dumbed down this...
Why.... Why
Give so much space and time to the estates wine-making?
Is this meant to be extra-ordinary?
The estates had to pay their way....
🇮🇪😜

They should have neighborhood watch on these sites.

[mannisalic]

What was the state of the country at the time of eruptions? I wonder? Not reported.

What a flaw! 26:27 For any chance, was it written the year of the inscription? He didn't say so. Easily, it could have been written in the year 78 a.d. or even before.
What is more plausible to believe, a contemporary full description by an eyewitness or a random partial inscription that doesn't specify even the year of the writing?
I guess in the attempt to find another discovery, that guy just displays a dubious argument. Pompeii already has a great archeological material to work on, and it's unnecessary to bring up speculation about a new date for the eruption just to get notoriety.

Naples right on the danger zone. Like pompeii and Herculaneum and scibillae

[LindaMerchant-bqhp]

Vesuvius and campo flegrei mega or supervolcano near the fields of phlaegrean

I could not believe how much graffiti is on the walls in such a beautiful and historical place. When my wife and I were there, the graffiti reminded me of my home town of Los Angeles. Terrible!

[keithrichardson]

Titus probably received karma from the destruction of Judea ...
