And I had a heck of a time keeping my balance while racing over the city paving. And it was daylight! I couldn't imagine trying to race over the same uneven paving, littered with debris and pumice, in sandals, in the dark among screaming, panicking jostling crowds, with roaring in the sky.

Recent discoveries indicate the eruption resulting in the distruction of Pompeii happened in the autumn, likely October 24th, 79 AD, and not in August. People would not have been wearing wool in August, and recent discoveries show people were wearing heavy wool, as well as additional archeological findings such as remnants of autumnal fruits and heating braziers. This is also supported by a charcoal inscription found during excavations, showing a date of October 17, 79 AD.

[@benjalucian1515]

I have my doubts about that. Would like to read more on it. I live in Tornado alley. Tornados happen in the spring and summer when it's warm/hot. When a tornado warning goes off, I dress in long sleeves, jeans and boots in case my area is hit and I get sprayed with debris. I'm wearing "warmer" clothing for protection. In Pompeii, pumice and stones were falling. People would have dressed in protective clothing - cloaks, heavy clothing. Braziers could have been used as a source of light as per the report we got from Pliny the Younger, once the volcanic cloud went over, it was darker than night and they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces. As for fruits the Pompeiians preserved fruits and dried them and stored them,. Pompeii was also a port that received fruits, vegetables and goods from other locations, perhaps those fruits were imports I think there's a lot of doubt in an October date.

[@daviddb4858]

@@benjalucian1515 Atmospheric Studies Atmospheric studies suggest the fallout pattern of volcanic ash reflects high-altitude south-easterly winds, which are more prevalent in the region in autumn. However, wind patterns may have changed in the nearly 2,000 years since the eruption. So while the August 24 date has been accepted for centuries, the charcoal inscription, archaeological evidence, and scientific studies now point to a later eruption date in October, likely October 24. However, some scholars still argue for the traditional August date. More research is needed to definitively resolve the debate. Pliny the Younger's Account The most detailed account of the eruption comes from Pliny the Younger's letters to the historian Tacitus, written about 25 years after the event. However, the original copies of these letters do not survive. Translations and transcriptions over the centuries have contained dates ranging from August to November, with August 24 becoming the most widely accepted date. Charcoal Inscription Evidence Archaeologists have uncovered a charcoal inscription dated to October 17, AD 79. Since charcoal is fragile and would not have lasted long, it is likely this inscription was written shortly before the eruption. This suggests the eruption occurred in October, not August. Autumnal Fruit and Heating Evidence Previous archaeological discoveries at Pompeii have uncovered evidence of autumnal fruits like pomegranates and walnuts, as well as heating braziers. These findings are more consistent with an eruption in the autumn rather than the height of summer in August. Botanical Evidence Botanical studies have revealed the presence of carbonized remains of fruits and nuts that are typically harvested in late September and October. Finds include pomegranates, walnuts, and grape remnants, indicating that these plants were still in their harvest period during the eruption. This evidence contradicts the idea of an August eruption, as many of these species do not bloom or bear fruit until autum Coin Hoard Discovery A hoard of coins discovered in the House of the Golden Bracelet included coins minted in September AD 79, suggesting that the eruption occurred after this date. This finding further supports the argument for a later eruption in the year. These various strands of evidence collectively challenge the long-held belief in an August eruption and support the theory that the catastrophic event occurred later in October.

In the Book of Mormon one reads of the ancient civilizations on this the American Continent that archeoligists are discovering in their Digs. Jesus Christ said that he was tired of the blood spilt of the innocents rising up to him, and that he was going to destroy those peoples who killed those innocents/spilling the blood of righteous good people and all children, and believe Christ did just that when he was free as a spirit after he was crucified, sinking whole cities in seas and oceans, covering them with mountains of mud and ash (like these prideful couples with their gold treasures), He opened up the Earth by earthquakes letting the sinful fall into those crevasses. More things Christ did to destroy those murderous sinners, his ways are numerous with the Earth obeying His commands upon them, all around the Earth. He had allowed certain people on this American Continent to live, who were not as sinful as those others he allowed to be destroyed, telling them then that he did spare their lives and in hoping that they were/would be grateful to him and would repent of their sins before him. Believe that we can see that the people of Pompeii and of the city Herculaneum were prideful and very sinful as a whole, but that their were some that lived there he allowed to escape to other towns or areas because they were not as murderous and sinful as those overtaken by ash and pumice, and who heeded his early spiritual warnings to flee the cities before they were destroyed by him, Christ Jesus (as Paul the Apostle called him) !

Carlos III, king of Naples, was in power when Pompeii was discovered. He took an interest in the excavations, claiming them all. He destroyed those findings that he deemed not worthy of his royal collection. Other crowned heads of Europe excoriated him for that. He quickly changed his mind, and “shelved” those not so worthy or incomplete finds. Some he gave to other monarchs. Thus, the collective crowns of Europe (and Britain) did a huge solid for posterity and collections of artifacts from Pompeii were started. So much was saved that way. One cringes at the thought of how much and what that pompous Carlos III destroyed. Cheers!

Everyone always excoriates Britian for having museums filled with artifacts from other countries. But it's cool have it affirmed that they have a general interest in history and it isn't (simply) looting for treasure. If I had to guess, Carlos was happy to keep any fancy vases and gold ornaments (i.e. treasure) and to toss anything broken and of common use. Imagine if he came across burnt scrolls as those found in Herculaneum what would have become of them. 😬

@@Mady-lo6qb It happened. Considered impossible to unroll, and they tried, the rest were pronounced scrap and thrown away. A truly cringe moment for archaeologists and historians. England certainly isn’t the only Country to loot, rob and pillage another for its antiquities. It started with Rome itself. When it conquered Sicily whilst it was still a republic, the Roman people got a taste of real Greek culture in the statues (etc) brought back to Rome. Soon, every aristo wanted to show off vases, urns, statues etc from Greece. (As a side note, in Calabria workshops were set up by entrepreneurs to produce the finest fake antiquities that modern Roman slaves could make. They sold like hotcakes! Many a museum today has these reproductions present in their collections, touted as original. The Gauls of Europe had to have Roman items to show off ties to Rome and their being cultured.).

Seeing the newest area of Pompeii that is being excavated has made the reality of the depth, and density, easier to understand. It was an “aha” moment. The only other similar experience I have had was back in the 1970’s when I walked into a rock store. Real rocks…not music. 😂 I had always been taught that gold was a dense metal. My intellect “understood”. But I didn’t fully understand until I went in the rock shop and tried to lift a sphere of Fool’s Gold. It was about the size of a baseball. That little orb was so heavy I was in shock. Eventually, I lifted it from the counter to chest high. That little thing was HEAVY! Suddenly my experience started answering all the questions my brain had been accumulating for the first 20 years of my life. Why did robbers carry only one gold bar at a time? Why did so many ships sink while carrying a golden treasure? Seeing the current dig I realized how deep and dense the pumice was packed on top of Pompeii. It is those 💡moments that I am so grateful to experience. Have a great day.

[@Mady-lo6qb]

I wonder if that's why people didn't leave. If they were expecting lava flows, and that didn't happen - maybe they though there was still time. They may not have been expecting a large blast carrying hot gases rushing through the city. After all, I think that Pliny's account was held in some doubt until Mt. Pele erupted centuries later. And probably why the inhabitants of Martinique thought they were safe too.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

@@Mady-lo6qb True. We have instant information gathering now. When MSH’s blew there had been rumblings and the side of the mountain was starting to bulge. I remember that they estimated a “safety zone” around the mountain and told photographers and volcano geeks to stay back so many miles from the mountain to avoid the lava. Unfortunately, the heated gas became a fast moving wave and they discovered a photographer, who had followed all the rules, and he still died sitting in his car. That was when my fascination started. But I promise you, I’ll watch videos. Being up close and seeing such devastation first hand is not at all appealing to me. In 2018 I retired after a 45 year career. I got sucked into watching the Kilauea Hawaii volcano open up vents in/near a housing complex that completely outside the volcanic crater. This eruption was slow moving. On flat ground. It didn’t explode in a catastrophic event. One travel agent lived in the complex so he was near enough to stay in the vicinity of the volcanic fissures (I think there were over 35 of them), and film the event for several months. There were times he’d stand on a local street and film the lava coming toward him, but the lava was also in the private yards and would circle around, almost trapping him inside the moving lava circles. YIKES. That is not for me.

So his statement wasn’t meant to be accusations but one of caution.

@@eds464 Huh? Some people don't believe in God. They were expecting?/hoping? to survive, so they grabbed some wealth to help them to that end. Seems to me they had their priorities in order.

Pompeii also bustled with brothels of every kind. Staffed by slaves or the very poor paying off a debt. Few cities today could compare to it, thankfully. Thanks to Vesuvius, it's history was frozen in time.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

They met God's wrath.

Literally me trying to death boxes for ammo and bats while the ring is closing in Apex.

[@jr3474]

They did not die due to lava but a hot cloud of volcanic ash

[@Leo_ofRedKeep]

Now we know the volcano wasn't out to rob them.

When in a situation where you have to either RUN or stay and try to grab your belongings? ....... always RUN !!!!

[@lhipelo9439]

I have visited this place last month

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Amazing!

[@linda10989]

If it was lava that struck them, how could their skeletons (or anything else for that matter) survive? Pyroclastic dust isn't as hot as lava?

[@ronbelanger4113]

That would be expected as more of the area is revealed. There was not much time during the eruption for fleeing.

muy buen reportaje, aunq el rey de Napoles q menciona al principio q iba a hacerse un palacio y por eso se descubre Pompeya, era el rey de España, Carlos III. tb de Napoles

[@summondarkness]

3 possibilities for the couple. -either died of the heat being trapped in an ''oven'' ; -hunger/dehydration -Lack of oxygen as the ash will cover the cracks of the door and fill the window and chimney. The fact that she seemed ''asleep'', which is usually how you die of a lack of O2 is you feel sleepy and weak so you go to sleep. and the other realising she's dead, tries one last time to crawl at the door but ultimately perishes on his belly trying the door. sad and horrible stuff yo.

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Great suggestions.

[@jeffclark5268]

Ash fell on Pompei…not lava.

[@Biker65]

Fascinating

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexontheedge]

No "lava", " semi-molten " or otherwise, fell on Pompeii. The city was buried by ash of various sizes and finally by a series of searing hot pyroclastic flows as the ash cloud above the volcano collapsed.

[@lefantomer]

I recall reading somewhere that the eruption calmed down a little after the first wave and people went back in to get their goods out. Bad move. Volcanoes don't work on a published schedule.

I went to Pompeii in 1991. I remember a mosaic of a dog at the entrance to a house that served as a “Beware of dog” sign, a priapic statue, a house where they worshipped Isis that had a canal going through it (for flooding it like the Nile). In the Villa of the Mysteries outside the city walls, there were frescoes in a room depicting a ritual where a woman was getting whipped by somebody wearing angel wings. She was being prepared to get married to the god Bacchus, Dionysus I believe. It was a cosmopolitan city with multiple religions, including Jews and Christians I think. How suddenly it all ended.

[@superdivemaster]

Good Video ...

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Thanks for the visit

[@francamporeale4561]

Ive been there it is awesome

[@jamesmorris9816]

You can be sure of one thing, everything worth anything was gone the moment Pompeii was discovered by the King of Naples. Who knows where all that is now? What people see now are things that couldn’t be moved.

[@andreasmartin7942]

Even the worst catastrophe can be useful it seems

[@janetpattison8474]

Yes, very interesting content. Thanks for not being a robot. When I get a robot, I just shut it down.

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Thank you!

[@benjalucian1515]

There was no lava in Pompeii during the 79 ce eruption.

[@robertpresha9504]

Wow .they are still digging them up.

[@Loooppp]

I watch for "Victims Discovered With Their Treasures Intact". If i want the story of pompei, i search for.

[@Myamirah]

The one place I have to go before I die

[@DaveMcCabe]

Molten lava did not fall on Pompeii. It was pyroclastic ash. "molten and semi-molton lava" ? Nope. 2:00
