Always find it hilarious that anyone doing this before modern archaeology were thieves looking for valuable stuff, but archaeologists are not considered thieves look for valuable stuff.
Similar vein to child sacrifice and killing their offspring or killing your offspring because you just dont want it.
Funny and sad that we believe ourselves evolved.
Also its far more likely they knew what basalt was for an average person then than today and its source. Far more stone masons and craftsman lived there and they most certainly wouldnt have known. Just because they lived there doesnt mean they didnt know.
How many live at or near the base of a volcano now? Hawaii is nothing but a volcano and more people keep moving there and visiting.
The CA whole southwestern state is sitting on a massive fault line.
Every time something happens in those places people act surprised and they panic.

The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. (Psalms 145: 17-20)
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17: 30)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13: 5)

My family is from Sorrento, across the bay from Vesuvius. My mother was 12 during the 44 eruption and she remembers that during ww2 people in the cities often went hungry because of corrupt supplies and rationing while, although still difficult, people in the country could always rustle up a meal foraging gardens and open country. But not during the eruption. even in Sorrento, 30 km away from Vesuvius, everything was covered with volcanic dust and people went hungry for weeks.

I thought that Pompeii was more preserved than Herculaneum. Thanks for showing me that I was wrong.
Excellent documentary.
A very sad tragedy due to The extremely beautiful Vesuvius.
Antique Romans believed that Vulcan was the divine blacksmith whose fire and hammer were responsible for the earthquakes and eruptions, not Poseidon (Neptune) who was the god of the seas.
Vulcan originated the word volcano.

This video is fantastic! I've watched other videos about this fascinating area, but was always left wanting much more detailed information and visuals, and your video gives this spectacularly. I was especially wishing to see and find out more about the art and everyday objects and it's preservation, from furniture and architectural details to food, and this provided a very rich feast of this and so much more.

This 'show & narration' is like a date with a girl that promises I'm getting laid tonight! ' and then NOTHING
because 'she likes the preamble but not the 'main event'
_____________
Do I really need to be told what 'Magma' is?
Do I really need to hear that Once objects that have been buried under a non-reactive ash are exposed the process of decay begins

The cause for so many deaths is Vesuvius for two days rained fire down on the two cities before erupting. Ample time to to leave. But instead, most Romans stayed because they believed the gods angry. So the Roman people began preforming sacred rituals, and maybe even sacrifices to the gods to quell their anger, and find favor, not evacuating.

I've been to see this and the paintings of a glass with fruits on the walls of the villas was outstanding! Compared to Pompeii I believe Herculaneum is the best for Roman buildings. To be surrounded by that time was great rich Roman's with untold slaves.
Recently sent to Tunisia also ful. Of roman buildings if that's your interest.

Lisa,
Why would people rebuild near the same volcano that erupted that bad? Even if it's been dorment or quiet for a while, the wise thing would be not to rebuild there.
Just like the earthquake fault-lines, bad tornado or hurricane areas, why rebuild in the same area? In my opinion, no one should. It's like playing with fire

Pompeii is an amazing City to visit! I walked among the ruins in amazement as I could only imagine the terror they must have felt! I could only Pray that most of the people were dead from the poisonous gasses before the hot molten lava reached them. But when you see some of the bodies you realize that just wasn't true!

If this happened today they'd blame it on climate change and humans. My point is that the earth has always gone through cycles whether it's climate, earthquake's or volcano's and humans have no control over it at all. I guess it's human arrogance, to believe we're powerful enough to have an impact or control over nature.

Great presentation, somewhat drawn out in exposition but seems very complete and is beautfully illustrated.
So the answer to the question of what happened to the people is in the several dozen bodies found in the boat sheds? What about the rest of the population, are their exact fates unknown?

There are special epoxies designed to correct cracked concrete slabs and make them safe. They could be injected under pressure and leave little signs of the repairs. I have seen them used on construction sites with the Corps of Engineers. I hate to see concrete patches on historic artifacts.

I believe in Herculaneum some people must have tried escaping on boats by sea. There might be a need to assume they were buried in the water front that moved 20km outwards to the sea
I wish we could find more information here like pompeii. Such sad history hold alot for us today.

This will sound very strange but for years I've had dreams I died there, in a cellar type area with another woman, where we watched the black come towards us. It's strange to see this as there's those building with those half circles? That's what I dreamt we were at right before it hit us.

That aqueduct in Naples, which was neglected and overgrown with weeds, would be seen as a national treasure in most big cities of the world. The Italian locals who have ancient buildings all around them seem to treat it with indifference. Many locals probably see it as a nuisance.

79AD. why do they think this has any value, today? There is nothing new that we don't already know and understand today. We need to look forward and let go of this. Just silly and a waste of time, energy and resources. Time moves along, so should we.

We visited both Pompeii and Herculaneum in 2017 and both sites are truly awesome, but both myself and my wife found Herculaneum the most interesting, and most importantly more moving. Those poor people must have been absolutely terrified.

Is it because, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in AD 72? And now after 7 years of grace period for the Romans to Repent, they did not. God has hus own way to depend His people. As he was promised to Abraham, Your enemy shall be my enemy.

And there's Guy, a time team stalwart. talking roman. passing on the knowledge gleaned from Tony.
This is a very watchable film about a place which I would say, outstrips Pompei.
Fascinating. well done British Museum.
