Mysterious Blue Shrine Among The latest Discoveries At Pompeii's Regio IX That Change Everything

[@gerhardheydrich3146]

The very fact that most houses in Pompeii contained a lararium is proof enough that religious practices were not confined to public places and temples. Domestic worship was the norm and not an exotic exception.

[@raeraewells7053]

I don’t care what it was used for! That blue is fabulous!!!!

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Absolutely!

[@TheDanEdwards]

"That Change Everything" (from the title) - no, the discoveries do not change everything. They're neat, add to our knowledge of that era of the Roman culture in that region, and are worth the mention. But they don't change everything we know about Pompeii.

[@marianlincoln9008]

Our vosit to Pompeii in July of 1995, as fascinating and incomplete as so much has been discovered since then... Love these virtual tours of some of the more recent finds.

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Great indeed!

[@cg00000]

Finally, Blue!!! Awesome find. I would love to help uncover this amazing ancient city.

[@lozinozz7567]

What did the thumbnail have to do with the story ?

[@kellydalstok8900]

Yes. I found the image of those statues quite intriguing, and that is why I watched the video.

Clickbait.

Fantastic video - thanks a million.

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@The_Butler_Did_It]

So, the title says that these new discoveries change everything....what exactly did they change?

[@DK-yq5nx]

The nature of hype 😂

[@OsirisIxchel]

@@DK-yq5nx For just one thing it's a new discovery not seen before and the exquisite frescos show different goddesses and how they were worshiped.

[@serendipity6988]

Knowledge?

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

✅ Rich people have nice decos. ✅ Rich people have nice wine. ✅ Rich people commission mythological / religious art to impress their snobby friends who like "classical" everything. ✅ Rich people flaunt wealth, like blue colors. ✅ Rich people have exotic pets. (Alfalfa.) 🚫 These discoveries change anything / are anything new.

[@andrewplumb6029]

@@serendipity6988 No, it adds to our knowledge, it doesn't change the knowledge we already have.

[@TropicLuv]

So fascinating! Each new discovery informs us and we crave more! ❤

[@DiscoveryFuture]

More to come!

[@dmd5645]

Thanks for posting this most recent discovery!. Such vivid decoration... I guess we will always love classical design!. So simply designed, yet so dramatic! in its overall design. Your channel is awesome!. Subbed!.

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@onurozdemir3656]

That feline should be a leopard, as it is the most common feline used in ancient murals. It is one of the symbols of Dionysos...

[@margo3367]

I thought it was a leopard too.

[@rogeramezquita5685]

Absolutely beautiful frescos

[@DiscoveryFuture]

They are!

[@user-uj9ey9yu7f]

Always overwrought conjecture re religious significance attached to everything. Amphorae obviously stored upside down in what may or may not be a chapel room. It is presumptive to say this room is sacred in any way. And if it ever was, it was last used for storage. People were no more fervently religious than they are now. People are people, at any time in history. Too much conjecture.

[@TheDanEdwards]

"People were no more fervently religious than they are now." - and yet if you go from place to place today, you can easily observe that some local cultures express more religiosity than others. And while magical thinking is part of us, some cultures give into that more than others.

[@madlenellul3430]

Conjecture from whom ?… Isn’t all archaeology speculative ?… Isn’t religion !! 🤗🇦🇺

[@user-uj9ey9yu7f]

@@madlenellul3430 Narration certainly was delivered in a very assured manner, not admitting of any speculation.

[@molybdomancer195]

Most houses in the Roman civilisation had a domestic shrine. It’s not a stretch to see this room with niches could have been a shrine.

[@user-uj9ey9yu7f]

@@molybdomancer195Small amount of alfalfa, falling out of an amphora, stored upside down in a room holding nothing but empty amphorae, is not my idea of a sacred object.

[@simonpenny2564]

4.34 "the incorporation of natural materials into the construction of the shrine further reveal the deep connection between the religions practices and the natural world" Who wrote this !?! What did you expect? Polypropylene? Titanium? Carbon-fiber?

[@philipchretienkarlsson8157]

This blue room / shrine, and the rarity of this color- a kind of delicate and dreamy blue really is a most extraordinary new discovery.... Thanks for this very interresting video.

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@yahwea]

Interesting as I have never seen these ascpets of Pompeii before. I hope you will do the same with Herculaneum

[@DiscoveryFuture]

Great!

I found Herculaneum much more appealing, not crowded either.

Why isn’t the thumbnail photo content included in this video?

[@mysightofthings]

The storyline ASSUMPTIONS stated as “fact” is alarming. We haven’t realized who we used to be or why, but we will wield a storyline that sounds good to back the expected narrative history being propagandized over the entire world.

[@greyline1012]

Exactly. It’s baffling to be honest and angering also.

[@tgflux]

What's w/ the statues in the vidcap? Just a bait&switch?

[@optimusprinceps3526]

Another piece of the puzzle

[@waynescott-lp5pm]

Where did they get the pigments to color paint? How did they make paint?

[@TinkerTaylor-zv1ml]

They made pigments by turning minerals in powder and adding a binding material. In the renaissance they used egg to bind the pigments and later oils. I don't know what they used in antiquity. Blue was especially expensive because it was made from lapis lazuli, that had to be imported from the region that is Afghanistan today. The name of the colour is ultramarine, literally meaning "(from) over the sea".

[@ifga16]

I see that this site doesn't have enough material to provide a decent cover picture. What are the three sculptures in the click bait opening pic?

[@aliceputt3133]

If the jars were upside down, it seems like they were washed out and drying.

[@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking]

6:18 - That's one strange "deer." Painting obviously incomplete, making it more mysterious. - Why does it seem more like a female? - Is the "V" above the head, truly antlers? Unlikely. - Is it rather, an antelope? (Horns do not fork.) - What is the white swirl over the legs? Smoke? Ribbon? Spirit "essence?" A depiction of a magic spell? A rope/lasso? - Lasso perhaps, as there's a strange white "O" behind the head. - What streams behind the head? Looks like pheasant feathers. - Perhaps this is a depiction of the "Golden Hind?" (The creatures who's blood could kill gods.) - Unlikely anything to do with Diana. Naples Bay was cosmopolitan, and Romans just weren't that into hunting. Deer were an agricultural pest. - A hind however...that's an interesting mythological drama for a spiritual room. - Note how the highlights are too harsh, and not blended into the shadows. No details on the "horns." - Since it is unfinished, we may never know the answer to what this creature is supposed to be. - I wonder, also, if the two "floating" figures were completed first, up on a ladder. Next step, down lower, adding the mountain tops they were supposed to stand upon. LIkely, a lush landscape of bounty / wine orchards, perhaps even Naples Bay area itself. Other frescos depict the local area as a landscape. Chilling, to think the figures may have been intended to be standing on Vesuvio itself.

Absolutely not one word about the marble figures in the thumbnail. 👎
