RUINS OF POMPEII | Villa Dei Misteri, Pompeii Frescoes and Ancient Roman "Fast Food"

Today, we visit the Ruins of Pompeii, Italy, including the highlights of the Villa dei Misteri Pompeii, where you can find one of the best preserved Pompeii frescoes.
One of the biggest and more morbid moments of our day was to view the Pompeii Ruins bodies. These plaster casts of the victims of Pompeii were made from actual bodies that were buried and decomposed inside volcanic ash. As a result, there were voids that turned into a cast molding of the bodies of Pompeii that can be seen today. They include men, women, children, and even pets.
If you are up for a treat, make your way to the Villa of the Mysteries (the Villa Dei Misteri), a little bit outside of the main city center of Pompeii. Here, you can find the best-preserved frescoes in Pompeii.

the painting on the wall area amazing and it is wonderful how the colors are preserved.

[@theRTWguys]

Absolutely!

Another great job capturing the beauty of Pompeii

Thank you! Pompeii is definitely one of the most fascinating places we have ever visited! Thanks for watching!

Pompei has so much history. Thank you for bringing me back once more. You really showed a lot of information here. Glad you finally found the exit in the maze.

[@theRTWguys]

Yes, so glad to be out from the great Maze of Pompei 😅 Thanks for watching!

Common misconception, the frescoes are not a menu

'....would line up or fast food...' in the middle age?!

Fast food- thermopolium.....

[@rexlex1736]

Fast food in Pompeii? I'll have a large thin crust with extra cheese, green olives, green peppers, onions, and jalapenos.

[@theRTWguys]

Hahaha all of the exotic ingredients for Pompeii 😂

[@emilysmith7788]

I'm here every year to see the new excavations I've never taken a guide. Never needed to, if you want to know truth of Pompeii, watch Mary Beard. She is the academic on ancient Rome.

[@theRTWguys]

Good to know, thanks for the info -

[@NickVenture1]

Nice nice. Thank you. I appreciated that you showed many details of this place in crisp high resolution.

[@theRTWguys]

Our pleasure 🤗

[@Hungry_Voyager]

There blood evaporated! Wow it sounds truly terrifying what happened to those poor people, seeing the victims cast in there final moment really brings the horror to life. Ah the most ancient of all professions, prostitution, i'm sure it was happening everywhere in roman times! That amphitheater is really impressive! You guys have certainly done your research, we would never have known about the chariot indentations in the road! Easy subscribe for us, can't wait to watch more of your content!

[@marcwhiteway3695]

Such a crazy story about breathing in the gases. So scary! I can't imagine what that must have felt like. The ruins are spectacular...totally surreal to see the bodies preserved in the positions in which the people died. Thanks for sharing!

[@theRTWguys]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@westaussie965]

I can’t get over the graffiti on the trains and the state of the station at Pompeii, it was disgusting

[@theRTWguys]

Yup, there are a lot of graffiti in Italy in general

[@letsgobrandon987]

I was there for a day. Amazing experience for sure but Best advice I can give: Drink plenty of water BEFORE you go and WEAR REALLY COMFY and CUSHIONED SHOES. You’ll walk for miles, can’t sit anywhere and it is all uneven hard stone or gravel. Your feet will feel like they went through a meat grinder by the time you leave.

[@theRTWguys]

Wise advices 😀🇮🇹

[@susaneuliano7692]

Was a carving of a penis along the way in the😊 "sidewalk " ever mentioned? It was to show the visitors where to go for the "Red light" district. I was there years ago and our Guide informed us of the markers in the walk ways that led to the Lunara. This was a clever way of informing foreign merchants were to go for "entertainment ". As there was people from all over the known world and there was a language barrier,this was the best alternative.

[@giovannimoriggi5833]

It's Lupanario, Lupanar in English

[@theRTWguys]

For sure 😅♥

I heard the volcano was about to erupt again pretty soon. I hope these great sites don't get destroyed again.

Just found your channel it's very good love it!!!

[@theRTWguys]

Thanks Maria 😀🇮🇹

[@tltfaas]

It's so weird to see a couple of grown men laughing and joking about the brothel. Maybe you don't know this but those women (and sometimes boys) were slaves. They were sold to the owner of the brothel and were raped over and over again for days, months and years. When these people were too old they were often killed and thrown into a garbage pile of bodies outside of Pompeii.

[@theRTWguys]

That's the dark side of sex industry. Thank you for the information.

[@doreenwyatt6409]

You guys were a lot of fun good job thanks for all the great video footage wow it was beautiful seeing joe and were they lived more than 2,000 years ago I saw a documentary on this and you guys video was better !!!!and more entertaining and I don’t blame you for being taken back by that tour guide she wasn’t a good one .and then after you paid your money 💰 you follow her and see her giving others a better tour ? Not good for business I would of felt cheated and demand a refund , you guys did a better job than her .great job

Another great job by you guys! You chose the right time of the year to go and see Pompeii. We went in June and one could get a good idea of how hot a volcano can be with the heat of summer in Campania.

[@danniellenoonan6388]

I'm getting married in Sorrento later this year (hopefully, virus dependent!) and I'm so excited to spend a day at Pompeii! I remember learning about it at school and it has always fascinated me. It's unimaginable. I didn't know there was a brothel there! How did you like Naples? It's one of my least fave places.

[@theRTWguys]

Oh, no kidding - I studied abroad in Rome MOONS ago, and I visited Napoli and hated it. This trip around, we actually stayed in Napoli for a week and I completely changed my opinion on the city. It was rough at the beginning, but when you see beyond it, there are a lot of amazing things in the city to experience. Check out our other Italian vlogs, before and after this Pompeii one, to see what other things we did - our Roman ruins diving, Napoli pizza and Napoli underground city videos are doing pretty well :) Good luck on the wedding later - it would be an amazing experience to get married in Sorrento for sure!

Sorry! Mom was an English teacher: amphorae = more than one amphora.

I visited Pompeii in 1977. I distinctly remember that there were two brothels we visited -- one for the rich and one for the poor. At least that's what we were told. I wonder whether research later found that the brothel for the rich was actually a house of some rich person. Because now I cannot find any reference to that brothel. It was very impressive, I'd think too impressive for any brothel. Plus, Romans were often unashamed to paint their fantasies on the walls of their houses. Anyone knows?

[@theRTWguys]

Oh yes, we saw a typical ruins in Pompeii, as well as 'road signs' in phallus, so it is a common theme in the city.

[@giovannimoriggi5833]

There were, at least, about 25 brothels in Pompeii. A very high average, but it's difficult to get an official average, because many brothels in Roman's cities were kinda improvised or unofficial
