Explore the newest excavation in Pompeii!

[@mikki3961]

Imagine the first rumbles of the volcano, the workers and artists pausing and then resuming work. I can hear the foreman belting out orders. Thank you for bringing these people to life, amazing indeed!

[@DariusArya]

My pleasure

[@Jean-PierreGrenier-yl3wp]

Imagine if archeologists get interrupted in their digging by another eruption…. When I visited Pompeii, I wondered about how this ancient city could get destroyed again by another eruption, losing it again…

[@overallthis]

Was in Pompeii last January and totally agree! Biting cold when I was there but so lovely to wander around without massive crowds.

[@DariusArya]

It’s warmer these days!!

[@pugnasilvia943]

I've been there in November 2022 and I don't know how to explain that amazing feeling... It felt like HOME... So peaceful, and still so alive... every stone on those streets, every brush on those walls, every blink to that mountain is telling a story. It's worth the effort not just once in a lifetime. Hopefully, I will be back one day.

[@lorettadurso4666]

It is mind boggling...how our ancient ancestors built a city...totally by hand...they were intelligent enough to do so..I visited Pompeii many years ago, this was so fascinating, thank you 😊

[@antofab]

Well everybody built cities by hand up to the 19th century... 😊

[@TWOCOWS1]

You and your work are amazing. So up to the minute. It is like visiting these places myself. Thank you--really

[@DariusArya]

Thank you! Now how I spend each week! Busy at the sites. I’ll share my current excavation soon as well.

[@TWOCOWS1]

@@DariusArya Yes, pls. That would be great. i love your zooming and showing the details, while others just pass over them (becausee they don't know its value)

[@suebailey326]

Site of the ash flow was chilling. Been to Pompeii 3 times over 20 years never ceases to amaze and I give a prayer for those who died

[@raeraewells7053]

It’s been my dream since childhood to see Pompeii and Herculaneum. I hope someday it happens. ❤

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Visited Pompeii a number of years ago on a cruise of Italy…it is one of the most fascinating places to see & so big as more is uncovered…Italy & its people are very welcoming…so good to see more buildings etc being uncovered..thanks for this

[@DariusArya]

Thank you!

[@view1st]

The mosaics and frescoes are absolutely amazing.

[@DariusArya]

Truly!

[@kakhak]

Yes, it is. I saw them with my eyes. That was shock.

[@andyroo9381]

Thank you, Darius! I have never visited Pompeii, but you took me there. Very special to see a dig in process and seeing something the public doesn't have access to. Thank you.

[@DariusArya]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LuvBorderCollies]

It is worth the trip to get there. Have good walking shoes.!! I finally made in 2011. Really its a 2 day site. A lot bigger in person than it looks on TV or photos.

What amazing excavation and restoration work being performed in Pompeii. And I'm in awe of the access Darius has to bring this content to all of us. I'm fortunate to be attending his course in Rome this May and am excited at the prospect of seeing the ancient world through his eyes in person. Thank you for this look into the ever-expanding world of ancient Pompeii.

Thanks for watching

[@NicCageCDXX]

Went to the Pompeii exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago three times while it was there this past fall/winter, add in this and I really do feel so close to a city I've never actually been anywhere close to. Love to see it, and as always, appreciate the work you're doing!

[@DariusArya]

Thank you!

[@ashleywagner227]

The fresco in ínsula 10 house with the red at the bottom and the crane is incredible! It’s almost unbelievable how vivid the colors are in the frescos in this house! Has the house been given a name yet? It has been my lifelong dream to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum (literally since I was 5 and learned about it on the History Channel 23 years ago!) A Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibit was actually mine and my husband’s first date. He proposed to me with a vintage music box that had a metal carving of Italy with Vesuvius in the background. To keep the theme going I got his wedding ring custom made to contain lava stones from Vesuvius that the girl went on a trip to get for me (and sent pictures!) just so I could surprise him with a little piece of Pompeii. I hope we can visit it someday and bring our love story with Pompeii full circle! Thank you so much for sharing your videos and knowledge with us.

[@DariusArya]

Thank you and congratulations!!

[@Sorsha011]

Thanks for doing this video! I did my Master's thesis on Pompeii back in 2009. I am so happy they have new excavations happening and can't wait to get a look inside. I visited last September and saw Leda and the swan and a Priapus painting. I'd love to see the rooms you visited in this video - those snakes and wall paintings are AMAZING! R

[@DariusArya]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@Chris.Davies]

Amazing and stunning video which is exactly half as good as it should be, due to the nausea-inducing 30fps frame rate.

Darius, i’ve been watching you for years, every time I would love what you have to say, and show. I’ve been in Pompeii a few years ago, but I know that every day there is something new discover it.. Thank you very much and waiting for a new updates.❤

[@DariusArya]

[@DariusArya]

Wow, thank you!

[@redbarchetta8782]

7:00 from what I remember reading there's thought that leading up to the eruption there were quakes which damage a significant amount of houses in Pompeii. That makes sense now seeing all the work that was being done on houses prior to the eruption of 79AD.

[@kmanyrivers]

You don't need background music. it is distracting from your interesting shares. Thank you for your channel!

[@DariusArya]

[@sheswede]

I love your channel and what you do to share your findings and discoveries. You inspire me to visit and discover on my own.

[@DariusArya]

Please do!

[@alaahamza62]

I always believe that everything or every event in this life has a purpose. With that enormous disaster and thousands of people killed under the rubble, imagine if the Mount Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii hadn't occurred; we wouldn't have this amount of preserved material and insight into the lifestyle of that era. That's truly documenting a period of human history. It's a time capsule, a box of time machine, taking each coming generation to the summer of A.D. 79. Thank you for the videos Darius

[@DariusArya]

Thanks. Yes we continue to benefit- archaeologically- from this horrible disaster.

[@dancinglatino3967]

I've visited Pompeii last year. It seems I need to visit it again soon. Grazie, Darius for always showing us new discoveries.

[@Materialworld4]

Thank you so much Darius for your wonderful exploration today. Currently I am in the middle of restoring images of the Roman Military mystery cult of Jupiter Doclchenus. I just finished restoring three votive plaques of Jupiter Dolichenus in photoshop. Again Darius, thank you for your amazing videos.

When I was in Pompeii last year September, I saw the excavation being undertaken. Was quite cool to see the excavation process

[@DariusArya]

[@DariusArya]

You are so welcome!

[@carnidafoe]

This answers my questions about the appearance of the houses of Pompeii at the time of excavation: before modern materials have been added, and before the weather has faded the paintwork. Darius, it would be great to see a garden excavation at Pompeii, with the statues, ornaments and altar etc. Thank you for this video!

[@DariusArya]

Let’s hope it will be revealed in this excavation - they are nearing the peristyle.

[@JoeBob79569]

I've been fascinated by Pompeii since I was a kid, and I finally went there in 2019 and I was blown away by the size of the place, and the detail. I must have wandered around aimlessly exploring for about 8 hours, and I think I'm pretty sure I was one of the last people to leave that day! I would have went back the next day too but I was on a tight schedule and had to make my way to Rome, which was fine, but a bit boring compared to Pompeii! But it's crazy seeing the parts like this that are just now being excavated, it must be so exciting uncovering something that's been covered for 2,000 years, you'd never know what you might find! I think I might go back this year again..

[@DariusArya]

Worth a return trip!

[@gerritdemulder4290]

I was there in july last year but regio 9 was closed because of the excavations. I definitely will come back to see all the amazing places that have been revealed since... Also great compliments to Darius for all your great video's !!!

[@oleksiychekin6756]

Thank you man! Content of your channel is really unique - it has enough of explanation, but almost no "water". Sometimes you show the places that I always wanted to see, but never had a chance to get there in right time and there are almost zero good videos about the places. In our times, then lot of peoples tries to sell everything, even stuff that they have no idea about - the channel shows that there are still great people on KZbin that provide really interesting and exclusive content.

[@DariusArya]

I appreciate that! I’m happy to share my experiences- as u can see here it’s often in rushed circumstances- like a press conference - so it’s not easy - especially when on my own, but I try!

[@watermunteconomie3938]

Love it.. so fun watching and the story behind it makes it extra special. We have so much to rediscover about our ancient past.

[@DariusArya]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottzema3103]

Unbelievably exciting. I loved Pompeii. The Romans did beautiful murals. I always listen very carefully for those tidbits in your videos which demonstrate your broad and deep knowledge about Rome. You know also I wish you would highlight those ongoing efforts to find those remaining papyri in Herculaneum before those volcanoes blow again! But never mind. Just fascinating.

[@mwj5368]

I agree about the scrolls! I wish they would put all emphasis on excavating that area to reveal more scrolls they speculate are still covered as rain etc creeps in deeper in the ash and can destroy remains.

[@DariusArya]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@scottzema3103]

Well and gosh the news says the volcanoes right next door pose an active danger to all of Naples. So in a general eruption if the site is buried again by Vesuvius or the neighboring caldrons, which seem to be boiling, it may never be re-excavated. @@mwj5368

Thank you Darius for the video, it’s breathtaking I feel going back in time. I absolutely love it.

[@DariusArya]

[@chrismalcomson7640]

Its so interesting to see the fresco's. You can imagine 2000 years ago probably an interior decorating business would have been employed to decorate the villa. The casual style suggests it would be the ancient equivalent of wall paper that is more utalitarian than high art, reflecting the fashions of the time and personal taste and interests of the owner. Pompeii is a real window into Roman civic society and unique..

[@DariusArya]

Truly!

[@buchi8449]

I visited Pompeii last November. I agree. Pompeii in winter had fewer people and a lovely, calm atmosphere. The only problem was ... the site closes 2 hours earlier in winter! From 9am to 5pm was too short for me 😓 I missed many places I wanted to visit. I want to stay there for 2 or 3 days next time to spend more time in the ancient city and visit other villas around Pompeii.
