Walk around in a 3D splendid house from the ancient Pompeii

- By combining traditional archaeology with 3D technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have managed to reconstruct a house in Pompeii to its original state before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius thousands of years ago. Unique video material has now been produced, showing their creation of a 3D model of an entire block of houses.
After the catastrophic earthquake in Italy in 1980, the Pompeii city curator invited the international research community to help document the ruin city, before the state of the finds from the volcano eruption in AD 79 would deteriorate even further. The Swedish Pompeii Project was therefore started at the Swedish Institute in Rome in 2000. The researcher in charge of the rescue operation was Anne-Marie Leander Touati, at the time director of the institute in Rome, now Professor of Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Lund University.
Since 2010, the research has been managed by the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History in Lund. The project now also includes a new branch of advanced digital archaeology, with 3D models demonstrating the completed photo documentation. The city district was scanned during the field work in 2011-2012 and the first 3D models of the ruin city have now been completed. The models show what life was like for the people of Pompeii before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The researchers have even managed to complete a detailed reconstruction of a large house, belonging to the wealthy man Caecilius Iucundus.
“By combining new technology with more traditional methods, we can describe Pompeii in greater detail and more accurately than was previously possible”, says Nicoló Dell´Unto, digital archaeologist at Lund University.
Among other things, the researchers have uncovered floor surfaces from AD 79, performed detailed studies of the building development through history, cleaned and documented three large wealthy estates, a tavern, a laundry, a bakery and several gardens. In one garden, they discovered that some of the taps to a stunning fountain were on at the time of eruption - the water was still gushing when the rain of ash and pumice fell over Pompeii.
The researchers occasionally also found completely untouched layers. In a shop were three, amazingly enough, intact windows (made out of translucent crystalline gypsum) from Ancient Rome, stacked against each other. By studying the water and sewer systems they were able to interpret the social hierarchies at the time, and see how retailers and restaurants were dependent on large wealthy families for water, and how the conditions improved towards the end, before the eruption.
An aqueduct was built in Pompeii, enabling residents to no longer having to rely on a few deep wells or the tanks of collected rainwater in large wealthy households.
The work behind the 3D film and a discussion on the credibility of the reconstructions are presented in an article, published in SCIRES Italy.
Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione and the Humanities Lab at Lund University have contributed to the development of the material and 3D work.

Intricately decorated and absolutely beautiful. To think this was thousands of years ago, magnificent.
Just beautiful, harmony is everywhere.
I aspire to have a house that was designed 2000 years ago😍
@leob231 you should play assassins creed odyssey. The houses and gardens are all so beautiful.
@@naaomi777 Agreed!
you and me both
@@naaomi777 i played all the assassin games on PS3 . Sadly odyssey requires PS4 and i cannot afford to buy another console.
Me too....
When you are far ahead of your time in engineering to build such beautiful homes but far behind in science to recognise not to build it next to a volcano
They didn't know it was a volcano. It was just a mountain covered with forests!
@@robertopezzutto5843 That was his point.
These people were smarter than 98% of people living now.
I think they knew because they worshipped Vulcan and celebrated Volcanalia.
The land around a volcano is far more fertile than others. Sure there is the risk of eruption, but there are other cities near volcanoes even nowadays.
Credit to the authors for documenting it in 3D. Sophisticated homes yet minimalist too. It is difficult to warn of erupting volcanos even today.
I've often thought that something similar should be done with the major Egyptian monuments -- tourists don VR goggles to see what the ruins would have looked like while still in use. But that would put about 10,000 guides out of work.
Thank you. Incredibly beautiful and much more tasteful than I ever imagined. This gentleman certainly had a beautiful place to live. What a sense of design!
True.
Yo Rome was lit back in the day. It was like Hollywood in Pompeii
it was, in effect, where romans where to chill out; in fact, the victims of AD 79 there included the soldiers that destroyed Jerusalem on AD 70, which had been taken there as a reward for their conquests..
Ro Pi fuck off anti Semite
history is reality, what he said is reasonable, the soldiers that destroyed Jerusalem on AD 70, received a reward for their conquests most often land.
So beautiful and inspirational
Great job. Wish I could be there in person. I can't so I'm watching videos and re-watching "Rome". Thanks Again!
I must show this to my class.
Ok go ahead
The art paintings on the walls is flabbergasting, no only is it not repetitive but has different elements. The diligence and artistry are unmatched by anything created today. This tells you that who ever painted this had a perfection in character that you cannot find today ! And character comes from culture and society which says a lot about today's society ruled by the conquered middle eastern tribe slaves of those ancient days.
So true.
About 20 years ago I toured the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. The museum contains many restored locomotives and cars from the 19th century. One in particular caught my eye: a combination passenger and luggage/mail car. It was beautifully decorated with artwork painted on the inside and frosted and beveled glass in the windows. One of the doors was open, exposing the door’s hinges. The metal hinges, only seen when the door was open, were intricately carved with floral designs. I remarked to the docent standing nearby how beautiful they were and said I was surprised at their appearance because I did not think they had stainless steel or aluminum back then. She smiled and said they didn’t: The hinges were made of silver! Astonished, I asked was this a private railcar? She said no, it was for public transportation.
Imagine seeing sterling silver hinges on the door of your local municipal bus.
They had a different idea of craftsmanship back then.
😊
I would like to give the university a suggestion. I don't care if I will get an answer or not. Nobody from academic world has ever had the idea of hiring a Professional game studio to make historic 3d models. I'm aware it could be quite expensive but who knows. I'm 100 percent sure they are the top qualified among entire world for such a task, that is using the most recent technology at its fullest potential possible. I mean just look doom 4. Look the amount of details and a realism achieved. If they focus such effort on 3d models the results sure would be marvelous, superb.
Having played around with various tools like Unreal Engine 4 and the likes it really is remarkable how much detail you could put in. However that comes at the cost of knowledge about operating the tool. Hiring people who would know how to operate this would be optimal from a visual standpoint however economically it can cost a lot.
In the best of worlds this would be a piece of cake to do, but I can imagine that this research takes ages and a lot of time and money, so you have to budget well, sadly the visual side often is the one to take the hit :/With that being said I think this is some really sophisticated research that is looking amazing even in this current state.
I am an archaeologist in the UNite4d States, and have thought of this same thing. It would be absolutely amazing to be able to incorporate such a thing into my lectures. Imagine being able to give my students a real time virtual tour of various ancient cities or sites! I have spoken with various autocad and 3D modeling specialists about it. and you are right, financially, it just isn't something that is very feasible at the moment. But, I hope in the near future, the technology will become prevalent enough and enough people will know how to create these models, that it will be possible with a smaller budget. Especially here in the states, where funding is getting increasingly hard to come by for any kind of research. I know nothing about digital modeling, but would love to learn it and be able to incorporate something like this into my lectures and presentations.
Anonymous2708 __ :-) gotta have a vocational course or something similar around you. Cheers mate.

Oh my God, it would be my dream game/experience. Love the concept of Honor and Glory, and I have always wished for a free exploration game set in ancient Rome. I still have to buy it, but I suppose Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the closest we can get today.
For an ancient civilization, the Roman Empire looked like it was ahead of its time.
Maybe compared to a lot of its immediate neighbours, but contemporary Han dynasty China was also very advanced.
Just to remind people that 2,000 yrs is equal to about 20 centuries. Which is 78-80 generations ago.
Absolutely insane to think that this beautiful home existed 2,000 years ago which resembles some modern day mansions today.
The power dynamic was also a lot different back then. The majority of people were highly impoverished so that meant the top 1-10% could afford insane stuff like this. Even though distribution of power today is still in favor of the wealthy, more people now could afford similar luxuries than at this time, which naturally causes quality to go down = McMansions and fast food.
Beautiful rendition of all what is known by archeology of the aesthetics of Pompeii’s richest homes.
To add to the treasure we get a wonderful example of how to construct a multi-family home.
Versus the modern single family homes built all over the western world today.
Architects can learn from archeology the examples of common dwellings and extended multi-family homes with self sufficiency added by harvesting rain water and indoor gardening is the direction modern life should go. By doing this every ill from birth to old age is reducible to a minimum owing to extended family support or completely resolved.
This past gives me anyway, a vision for the future.
So beautiful !
Very modern , minimalist, beautiful...
We have been to Pompeii and follow Dr. Steven Tuck's Great Courses lecture videos. Thank you for making this 3-D model to show our limited imaginations how splendid this house was in its day.
Hey, can we have a 360° video of this for Virtual Reality headsets? That would be so much cooler.
Agreed
Amen. Imagine all of Pompeii recreated in VR. Something like "Titanic Honor and Glory" which recreates the Titanic in amazing detail and will also have the player experience the sinking of the ship. Imagine something like that but with Pompeii and its destruction! Man! That's why we have computer simulations and VR!
Our ancestors sure had taste in home decor
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste and Thank You for All that you are doing for World Peace.. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮️ ❤️
Neat. I was stationed at the NATO HQ in Naples during the early 60s and visited Pompeii several times.
Wow! This one looks like a fancy hotel!
Very nice work. Thank you for sharing.
Wow - splendor recreated here.
Wow Swedish university love Italy....like I love Sweden too much! Great job men!!!!
3d is a door that opens
A world where before
You could only imagine of.
Now with 3d technology
And maybe one day VR
Together will see how
Ancient citys where
Like thousands of year
Ago!!!🇮🇹
That was amazing! Well done, thank you! 😊🙏
This is great!!!
Great work please keep doing more ... Egypt , Rome etc etc
Has anyone built such a structure in modern times? Would make a great museum walk through
You should visit the Getty Villa in Mailbu, CA. It is an amazing Roman Villa.
@@cardone7 Huh. I spent two years at Ft Hunter Liggett, CA but never heard of the villa
Великолепно!
This video needs to be in much higher resolution.
Beautiful video!
I'm from Italy (Genova) I went in Pompei 2 times, is very nice..and Ercolano to!
Their homes are more beautiful than the homes of this century
My house two thousand years later, is a small cave
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Lovely, thanks!
This one's so lovely. The color may be very very old, or tweaked in a dandy computer masterpiece, but in this work the color choices made me want to leave a respectable large deposit and move in tomorrow!
Very beautiful recreation. I think there was much more drapery, furniture and other things like a desk in the rooms
a lovely home a few updates and it fits right in for todays use. Specially the part where the rain water comes in and collected. i hope it was connected to some sewage system. It will be cold and dampy in the winter when it rains a lot and overflows.
Excellent. Thank you.
Its crazy how eerily similar these houses to modern day mansions. (albeit more intricately decorated)
Who knows, maybe several centuries from now, Future archaeogist would be excavating the White House
In fact, the resemblance is minimal. Basically, the only common features are walls, floors, rooves, and decorations.
The way roman people lived in their homes is drastically different to today.
Your comment merely shows you can recognise a house, but not what goes on inside it.
@@Chris.Davies i think they were referring to the architectural features of the home. Although most homes these days take inspiration from historical features, e.g. Marie Antoinette’s wood carvings she installed into Versailles has been simplified for more high class homes, or roman pillars used as decoration for government buildings or expensive houses. Of course our day to day practices are quite different from those 2,000 years ago, but the original commenter did not mention lifestyle anywhere in their comment. So no need to be rude, but instead to take another kind of outlook on the comment.
Nothing is new even God talks about this in the Bible.
Thank you.
I'm going to try and build something like this.
Beautiful!
Looks nice place to live until winter. Got to suck wearing huge amount of cloths all the time
Vídeo corto pero muy bueno. Muchas Gracias...
I love the tv show Rome. Atia said Pompeii was tacky. 😂
bravissimi!!ottima ricostruzione!!
Beautiful
Beautifully done! Really shows how gorgeous Pom peiians decorated their houses. I'll never forget seeing their exquisite remaining frescoes...just a wonder!
Imagine living in a small flat like millions of people, or in a hut, compared to this. Where did technology bring us to?
Wonderful show! What a delight and an education!
The euphemism "dependent people" rubbed me the wrong way but I understand the discussion of slaves was out of scope for the program.
i love getting a happy time in pompeii 1st Watching: 23rd November

Congratulations for such beautiful videos!! And a query: were the small altars in the Atrium? Weren't they placed right at the entrance, before the Atrium?
I wonder what kind of work a rich roman would do at his house. Accounting? Meeting business partners? Writing letters and orders?
Weaving would have beeen a part of her activities, simply because it was important to a man to wear textiles made by the wife
R3ika
Heh thanks, I actually meant 'a rich Roman' not woman, but that's interesting to know as well :) Wouldn't slaves do that, though?
I was wondering what work the husband would devote his time to.
I think women from rich families were under the paterfamilias, only looked upon her children and household slaves, they were expected to be virtuous and good mothers.
@Ro Pi I'm afraid you're quite wrong here... women in Rome were nothing in society, There were considered at the same level as children and a little bit more than the slaves... as for doing business as a woman.... no way!!! check your sources
yo ram ranch really rocks
У как я ему завидую!
I could not imagine, how at the first century, their buildings look like from 19th centurys, while another human still living in caves and unknown metal.
Ancient Wolfenstein! :P
Archaeologists believe that Jucundus actually died in the earthquake of 62 AE, as his business records stopped a few days before the earthquake. The only records found at the house after this time belong to his two adult sons.
It is best to visit Pompei by yourself 👍. You can reach Pompei😍 by train from Napoli.
Why are u in love with the republic of taiwan ? Please reply my crush is taiwanese i want to make a move
@@sacha_msky you want to make a move?
Just do it.
Spend one month in Taiwan 🇹🇼❤️, throw yourself in the Taiwanese realities and you will understand why a normal person is in love with the Republic of Taiwan 🇹🇼👍.
An other reason : the Republic of Taiwan 🇹🇼😀 is the civilized version of communist China 🇨🇳👹.
Luxury 💯
does this demo somehow include the glass windows the romans used in that era as well as colored glass?
Very nice, but the sequences are much too fast.
Nice. Well done. So inspiring. The slaves must have also liked this place.
0:09 Ooh, classical Latin pronunciation. 👍
Is there a VR 3D version that can be used to go through the House on Meta Quest 3 ??
It's been thousands of years and yet we are still using wooden doors in our bedrooms wtf. It's almost as if we have not even progressed much in terms of architecture. By now we should have roads that repair them selves, smart windows that can adjust the temperature of the room depending on outside temp. Looks like the technology is being surpressed or we're still living in the past!
Looks like a door is still a door!!
Keep in mind that the Roman Empire fell and we went through hundreds of years through the dark ages after that. Only until the Renaissance did ancient Greek and Roman architecture and arts gained resurgence.
The biggest fallacy that people always fall for is that time = innovation. No. In fact, innovation will not occur unless those with the money and resources decide that they want it to occur. If enough people in power decide they want everything to stay the same or are just complacent, than nothing will change, not even the texture of your boots will change within the next 200 years.

This video could have been spectacular.
But instead, it is third rate.
Such a shame to ruin all that hard work with such a bad final product.
life never changes,,,even all them years ago their was RICH,and POOR...
Sharon Gill there* illiterate
Are you sure the study was beautifully decorated to mark status, and not because the owner liked to work in a beautifully decorated room?
Of course it's Caecelius' house!
Can you still make a house like that in the 21st Century?
👍👍
Great when you have that kind of money.
But not many windows in the interior rooms. Common Real Estate theory is that a room is not a room if it does not have a window.
The reason is that there was so much noise coming from the narrow streets adjacent to this house. Also the smell of horse and oxen manure as these animals transported wagons laden with food and other supplies for the city. Also, you did not want the common people viewing you through the windows and glass was very expensive then.
Many of these rich people had villas and large pieces of land outside the city where the air was cleaner and cooler and they were more relaxed.
Where'd they put the TV?
🤔
😄
"In the afternoon the room must have changed character." What?
Rooms can have characters. For example, a small, warm, carpeted room might be "cozy" or "welcoming". A big room with marble floors and walls might be "cold" and "forbidding". Think of how your life is segmented - you wake up, have breakfast, leave your house and go to work. For a Roman such as Caecilius Iucundus, as well as his family, a lot of work took place at home. In the morning, the Atrium would be bright and full of morning activity. As the day progressed, the lighting and work would change, and with it, the character of the room would change also. Remember that lots of furniture was regularly moved around the Roman home, and it was a very busy place filled with many people doing lots of jobs. Caecilius would have lived with many people: not just his wife and children, but also many slaves, and the families of those slaves. Roman houses were quite different in design and use to houses today. Hope that answered your question :)
Great explanation
They had good taste? If I had the resources I would build almost identical villa..
Volcano outbreak? You mean eruption?
I want to be in horto too
Some rich guy should replicate an ancient rich roman house just for pleasure.
Look for the Getty vila in Malibu ;)

He relaxed, eh? Wtf did he do for fun? What did any of these people do for fun? The printing press was over 1000 years off so, not many books to read. No tv. No internet. No phone.
Like, everybody says they want to go back to a simpler time, but y'all would be bored out of your minds.
I'm bored sitting here with a phone and internet. Thus why I made it on this video.
None of us would make it back then.
Now if we were totally unaware of anything like they were, that's different, but it still doesn't explain just how they didn't stay bored all day. Twiddle their thumbs, I guess.
GE; The upper class Romans were quite literate. There were thousands of 'books' written on papyrus scrolls. Rome had bookstores just like today. Truly.
Minime! Caecilius abest in horto!

The animation is a bit too jerky for me to be able to watch; otherwise, great job!
shows nothing about the spacial experience
i think their wrong about the water in the center. i think it was a central heating fireplace and that the roof was made to block out rainfall but let smoke form fire escape instead if a chimney. i seen many examples of buildings today that have the same contraption but none that have a bath tube in the middle of the living room supported by open sky and no roof. the building had a second flood and a angled roof supported by four pillar. that is hwere the smoke from the fire place escape. there is no drainplug or hole in that rectangular space. there is no way to regulate the water from rain. there is no houses back then or today that would have open roof. the paint would not survive. i imagine the romans had very big fireplace in the living room for heating in the night and winter. the tibetans have a similar contraption instead of a chimney today. how illogical things become facts these days is painful to those who see the flaws they made in their reasoning.
It was literally called an impluvium, so there's not doubt it was for rain water. This is not something that's up for discussion, it's a known fact.
Men. Why do people suddenly find themselves unable to pronounce the plural of men and women? I notice everyone pronounces the plural exactly as the singular. It is simply incorrect. Plural = mehn. Singular = mahn. Why is this so tricky?
Well, she has a very strong Swedish accent, so I just tried to ignore it. My pet peeve is when people so often write "women" in the singular, but never "men" in the singular. It's like logic escapes them.
What monkey rendered and uploaded this, I would make it look a hundred times better in 3ds max, and I'm not even really good with the programm
