I was in Pompeji alredy 4 times and always found something I didnt see before. Only with the Emidiate Eruption of Phelegrian Fields or Vesuviuse I stoped travling to Neaples. Or Messine were our last Location of our Hotel was.

[@Doors-and-Crosscheck]

I came back from seeing Pompeii yesterday!!!!!! It blew me away. Nothing can prepare you for this place. So much of their lifestyle is intact in the ruins for us to see and learn. Very very tragic end to those people but an amazing place that everyone needs to see

[@jimmymeetsworld464]

Ever since I learned up Pompeii and their excavations over the past few decades it has absolutely fascinated me. It’s just a continuation of constant discoveries. You are so lucky to have seen that.

[@christinakirby8081]

Love these documentations on past ancient lives. Have to say this is one of the best and interesting finds I've watched. I'll continue watching Thank you

[@ivannovotny4552]

Absolutely fascinating and thank you for sharing.

[@Thebes77777]

The best documentary on Pompeii I've seen yet.

[@RealPhoenixRising]

Oh wow I first went to Pompeii when I was 15 and fell in love with it! It’s one of the most beautiful and unique archeological sites that I find fascinating, so glad I’m not the only one ❤

[@jimmymeetsworld464]

I don’t know how old you are now, but you should go back and take the exact same photos you took then and compare them. That would be cool! 📸

[@cindchan]

I've been there two times over the years. Would love to visit again some day to see what new things that have found since the last time I was there! Just love that place!!

[@NorthForkFisherman]

When is the best season?

[@youmaysayimadreamer5872]

​@@NorthForkFisherman I would avoid July and August only because of the heat. I guess March to June or September/October to be the best times. But any day is a good day to visit Pompei :) And don't forget Ercolano!!!!! A place so often forgotten by tourism but as interesting. Ercolano had the same fate of Pompei, but the place got preserved in a different way and is well worth a visti (and much less crowded).

[@NorthForkFisherman]

@@youmaysayimadreamer5872 Oh - I have heard of it as Herculaneum. Yes, I'd love to go there some day and pay my respects.

[@bunjijumper5345]

I am the world's biggest loser, but, in my 30's I was able to see parts of Italy. I will be forever grateful that I have the memories of seeing Pompeii, Rome and Venice. Anyone who loves history should move heaven and earth to see Italy themselves, it is the greatest place on this planet, and I am so fortunate that my dream came to fruition.

[@intellectsunlimited]

Thank you....I'm making it a priority for 2024!

Ehh Lisbon, Portugal is like 500-1000 years older than Rome and has been in continuous use since ancient Carthage.

[@123maingame]

yes i agree. i came to rome, milan, bologna, genova, pisa n venezia in 2012. I think I must come back to italy to visit pompei

Someone dropped that hairpin only to be picked up by someone 50 generations later. History is amazing

[@joserizal9845]

What’s amazing is how much speculation will come out of that 1 hairpin on what kind of person used to own it and his entire family

[@RealPhoenixRising]

@@joserizal9845 Yes! Was it a slaves final piece of pride or was it some rich womans one of many or even a childs plaything. Saddest thing is we'll truly never know but so many ideas will definitely come out of this one small piece of history.

​@nychris2258 To think it was 2000 yrs ago... amazing... but I feel sorry for the people who died there

@@Allannah_Of_Romethey’re Nat Geo. Not getting the correct information is absolutely their fault lol There’s no reason a company with the resources of National Geographic can’t use multiple sources to ensure the information they’re relaying is accurate.

Excellent video! The quality and detail in your content are commendable.

[@karenroot450]

This is a great excavation to help understand their way of life! I’m quite sure more rooms, houses, and perhaps animal stables will be found. Are the relics eventually going into a museum? Are any skeletons going to re-buried? Lots of information to learn

[@ericsvendsen1880]

I understand sharing with the world for historical purposes, but some are just "ordinary" people. Like the case of this guy, they should scan and get as much digital record of him as possible, take dna sample, and put him back. I watched a documentary recently where they found a revolutionary war burial site in a forest and they basically did just that. Learned what they could and then buried them properly and even threw a parade for the lost soldiers. I guess it's a matter of deciding what should be kept out and what's to be put back.

[@littleagyi1462]

Thz a lot all of you for this entire video

[@canttouchthis6439]

I love these documentaries about Pompeii im fascinated by the city and volcano

[@Pedone_Rosso]

Walking the streets of excavated Pompeii is time traveling. Thanks for your videos!

[@stephanieann622]

Wouldn’t it be something to be there in person? I have always been fascinated by Pompeii.

[@Pedone_Rosso]

@@stephanieann622 I'm Italian, I've been used since childhood to seeing ruins and centuries/millennia old buildings everywhere, so I thought nothing about Pompeii. Until I actually went there for a field trip in high school. Pompeii is different from the rest of Italy. It actually feels like time traveling. You can imagine the tourists walking around you today, when you're in Pompeii, are actually tourists from a couple of thousands years ago. The only thing changing is their clothes: the city was a huge port at the center of the world. It has always been full of people talking foreign languages and following footsteps carved in the walking pathways towards the nearest barroom. I recommend visiting there to everybody.

[@stephanieann622]

@@Pedone_Rosso I’m even more anxious to go now! You really make it sound amazing. I never married so I haven’t traveled much at all. I’m sure I could find someone that would go with me🤣. I can’t put my finger on what fascinates me about it but I have been forever. I appreciate your helpful comment and I hope you have a great week😊omg I forgot to tell you that I am half Italian. My family is mostly full blooded Italians. My Grandpa had a very successful restaurant business here in Iowa for 65 years until he passed away. I wish I could cook good Italian food but I don’t have the patience 🤣🤣

[@track1949]

​No!!! It wasn't paradise no matter how much you want it to be.

it really amazing to watch the city so " intact " after everything happen

[@agnesianagnesian5576]

[@camillemolinar2788]

Very interesting episode!!! Thank you for the hardwork.

[@Ulqiniflorini1963]

When building a new house, the sacrificial animal's head (a Ram or a Bull, with golden coins in its mouth ) is still practiced in northern Albania. The head is placed in the foundations as an offering, and the meat is fed to the people who help build the foundation walls. We did this in 1973 when my father bought our house in Montenegro.

[@borealis.in.georgia]

Shoutout to all the female archeologists on this team! You would’ve never seen that 50 years ago - love it!

These women are getting on my nerves

[@belovedchaos1]

The testudo could have also kept the water sanitized by boiling off pathogens. Very cool!!

[@nycbearff]

It did not boil - the cooler water from bathing pool flowed through the bottom of the opening, was heated, and flowed back from the top of the opening, it was a convection system. So the water never got too hot to bathe in.

[@thedragonchaser]

Now Marcus is more famous than he could've ever imagined

[@reneecarter6702]

A majority of those people were alive when the Apostle Paul was preaching, and the people buried in the tombs, were most likely alive when Jesus walked the earth. Incredible.

[@Cornbread-gi6kt]

That’s why apostle Paul never wore a ‘Palaus cap’ because he was born a Roman citizen. Wouldn’t be surprised if he actually visited Pompeii either.🤷🏼

[@SibyllaCumana]

They didn't know it was a volcano but believed it was a mountain

[@KarlaLuna-tv4tm]

Hello from Honduras ❤

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

I was struck by how narrow all of the streets are... where did everyone park their horses and carts when stopping to eat and sleep, visiting a store or delivering goods to stores, (while the streets were constantly crowded with people that were also riding on horses, pulling carts and walking through those same streets?)

[@sue-o8245]

Someone grew up in the culture of personal mobility... Few people had or needed a horse or cart and as much as possible their bulk and uh waste was confined to an alley, a mews, stables, large thoroughfares. Streets are for people, as Europeans and a few US cities are relearning today.

[@calartian85]

At one point a law was made in Rome. No delivery carts in the streets during daylight hours.

c 25:00 How can a slave "...save his money..." to buy his freedom? Kind of a huge unanswered question.

[@kaydenjordison7205]

Maybe he was desperate about his freedom. Maybe he was sick of being a slave. When a person is desperate especially if it includes money, a person will do everything to achieve it even he might fail to do it. Today, we achieve our freedom before we even born, for them in ancient times, freedom was earned, some of them are killed just to obtain it.
