    Even having known for most of my life what Pompeii was, I went there when I was about 50. It absolutely blew my mind. To realize what a large city it was, that it had such sophisticated urban facilities, the level of civilization that thrived there at that time, and that it was virtually forgotten for hundreds of years.... There were fast food stands and piped-in water. We had a private guide, which was not that expensive considering that we were going to be there for only one afternoon in our lives. It was certainly worth having a guide dedicated to just us. She took us to certain main must-see attractions, but she also described various features and asked us what we'd like to see. The forum, the stately homes of some of the wealthy inhabitants... wow.

      @xray7908,
      I found it facinating and felt I really understood what the daily life was like for them. I felt connected to them...and then I saw the casts of the bodies of the eruption. It was very emotional for me. How they must have suffered. I will never forget my trip to Pompeii.

      I would forgo the tour guide. My tour guide was bored, not much knowledge, didn't give much information, didn't erase much of the city. And he personally felt looking at the dead was sacrilegious, so he dismissed that part of the tour. Also on a hot day he told us something about water but we never got there. I'd suggest a little research, get a map and self explore.

      There are many writtend fonts where still there were slaves as gladiators. The contract usually was around 3+2 years then they could get the freedom. Otherwise we cannot explain the use of rudis.
      Not just slaves, but there were. Also, concept of slavery is not the same of you might think from XIX century concept.

      @@CruiseLifestyle The truth is, I always end up buying dog and cat food while on holiday, I come from a country that we don't have strays, and it breaks my heart to see the condition of some animals walking around the streets, searching for food. Most of my holiday photos are either with dogs and cats or in my room surrounded by boxes of dog/cat food!!🙄. It is just natural for me, when seeing a dog or cat that is in need of food. I have never been attacked or bitten ever. They are so grateful for the attention and food. Heading to Pompeii in Sept so I will be prepared. (since it is not something you buy on a cruise - pet food)!

    Though the Romans would have been smarter than that , seeing as they were using locally acquired basalt volcanic rock to build their streets and put looming"mountain" and the volcanic rock together.
    Obviously, the Oscans that abandoned the area 6 centuries earlier worked this out and left 3 centuries after arriving and before it became an issue.

    Amazing place isn't it? Those are neither "cart tracks" nor square "post holes to tie up a donkey". I hope if anyone cares to seek truth knowledge whilst at Pompeii and other ancient sites don't hire a popular guide to narrate what you are looking at, they are only able to parrot the story they were taught. Unfortunately much of the narrative is utter fabrication purported as fact.
    For example take a look at these so called "cart tracks". They are inconsistently spaced, many times non parallel, with arbitrary ruts and dips here and there right next to other semi linear indentations . It may look something like this if the street were mud and the occasional wheel slipped in and out the track for a moment etc, however a random rut simply cannot be created for 3 feet then disappear 6" from another rut in stone. Unless of course a particularly stubborn donkey rocked it's cart back and forth in that spot for a couple hundred years. Even then, often times the other wheel track is suspiciously missing or wondering to and fro. None of this is consistent with cart wheel wear especially on granite pavers. Also where are the hoof marks? Surely if enough carts were pulled by horse, donkey, mule, ox, bull etc. to create 6" deep ruts in granite, the animal too would begin to trod holes into the stone...
    As for the square post holes, no. These are not hitching post holes. Why would a post need to be square to hitch an animal? Square mortice in stone is much harder to achieve then a round one, especially considering the evidence we now have that the romans (and earlier civilizations) did indeed possess core drills. Also a simple wheel chock would be much preferable for keeping the cart and animal still.
    Sorry for the paragraph, you did a great job sharing this footage and I am grateful. I hope we can all keep our minds open to new ideas about our collective past, I suspect the history of civilization on this planet is a far bit different then we have been taught.

  • @brunosmith6925
    @brunosmith6925 Год назад +2

    In my experience, many (most) of these "guides" have a rudimentary knowledge of the site they represent (in this case Pompeii) and restrict their descriptions to largely superficial attributes and relatively obvious explanations of why something is the way it is. While they appear to be knowledgeable to the average tourist, they are largely ignorant of the finer (and in my opinion) more important detail which actually enriches the experience of a visit. If your objective is to just say to others "I've been to Pompeii", then such guided tours are ok... but if you really want to understand the culture, preliminary research is vital.
    Anyone who aims to have a more serious or in-depth understanding of Roman society needs to do proper and relevant research before any visit, and (if so inclined) focus on researching relatively few elements of the culture - eg: the architectural periods (styles), or the varying designs and styles of the mosaics and frescos.
    In modern times, there is a wealth of information available on the internet, and countless books and periodicals that provide the necessary depth which will enrich a visit.
    Of course, everyone's objective of visiting such sites is different, so I am not prescribing to anyone - only that there is an immensely more rewarding experience to be had if you spend many hours researching the place you intend to visit. All it costs is time... and then you can leave the "guide" to cater for the more casual visitors, while you explore the really interesting stuff.

    • @CruiseLifestyle
      @CruiseLifestyle  Год назад +3

      We found the tour very interesting and as we both have busy lives we didn’t really have the luxury of doing hours of research in advance. The experience we had from a private tour guide was far better than us walking around not knowing what we were looking at or joining a group tour with 20+ others.

      I’m from the UK. Why would I not encourage cruise passengers to use a local guide when visiting? Would you rather cruise passengers stay on the ship and not spend any money in the local area? With one day in Naples it’s possibly the only opportunity for cruisers from places like the US, Australia and Asia to visit. Sites like Pompeii will always be high on the list of places people want to visit.
