There was an exhibit I went to when I was 12 in a museum in Toronto(?), and one of the things shown was a wall with height markings of ash over the course of the eruption I was scared for about a week
I read about a dog that retrieved a raisin loaf to bring to his young master captured in ash, etc. It was possibly based on an actual find, but I read it in the 70's so I can't vouch for details.

Went to Pompeii myself, you want to be careful, not because of the ruins or the ancient structures, but because you’re pretty much forced to walk through a brothel with roman hentai on the walls.
Every time I think of Pompeii I just think of the horror of the possibility of doing something sus, getting fossilized doing something stupid and get remembered as “that dude” in history

I’m reminded of my visit to Pompeii on a trip to Italy in 2003. It was perhaps the first site I’d been to where ancient history felt like something that was actually lived in rather than just something you read about in books.
I remember reading a book that was based around first hand accounts and personal journals when I was very little. I have to say you brought me back to my past fascination with this disaster. Keep the videos coming !

I had the opportunity to visit both towns back in 1979 when my ship visited Naples. It was absolutely incredible the things that had been preserved. The villas, the kiosks with food still in the pots, amphorae with wine residue, coins, statuary, paved roads, and the list goes on. it was just like stepping back in time. We even visited the top of Vesuvius and looked down into the crater. If you can ever visit, please do, it is well worth the cost.

@@somedudefromapharmacy yes , quite a lot . The last "eruption" in 1538 I bellive ended up creating a small mountain called Monte nuovo (new Mountain) it didn't had so much power to cause more damage .

The thing is that archeologists have found some animal remains like donkeys that were used to pull grinding stones were in their stalls, tigers that were in their cages for the circuses, and a dog that was chained up. The fact that no other animals or birds were found shows that those creatures fled the area.
The animals would've panicked before the eruption and people kept them inside and/or chained up. People didn't understand the signs of disaster about to happen.
Animals naturally have the ability to sense an incoming disaster so they immediately left weeks before the disaster unfortunately their chained brethren weren't that lucky
All I know about Pompeii are these things: 1)There's a guy named Caecilius here with his wife Metella and his son Quintus 2) Their employee, Grumio, makes it through this 3) Caecilius est in horto Also, when does a Norse God of Mischief in a suit show up?
Can’t say I’ve been to many places around the world but been to Pompeii and up Mount Vesuvius and seeing steam coming from it shows that it is still very active. Well worth a visit
Probably the earliest time i've seen a simplehistory video! Keep up the good work! And if possible, i'd like to see a free 2d game about diffrent war's and era's and level's with your art-style! If you would create it, chould it be avaible for mobile's and steam? I'd love to have a game like this and i'd definetlly play it!
I've been to Pompei and Herculaneum today, this is wonderfully accurate - the jugs, plaster castings, the ruins representation as well as the facts. Definitely worth a visit to both (half day each is enough to get a feel) It's incredibly hot there in the summer as there is no shade!
When I was in middle school,, my band teacher had a poster of the disaster, and his last name was Pompeii. He had these little sticker images of himself, and I jokingly told him to put one on the Pompeii part of the poster, so whenever we were leaving his classroom, we would be "Fleeing from Pompeii".
The song of bastille entitled pompeii with the famous lyrics "but if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing change at all" that song is about this disaster incase some didn't know
I visited a Pompeii exhibit a few years back.. I'll never forget it, but mostly, the haunting image of 2 bodies, one, that of a child, clinging to eachother, the larger person, presumably a mother or father, covering the small body of the child with their own, as the small body's arms also wrapped around the back of the poor soul trying to protect their child... it's absolutely horrifying, and devastatingly sad... I can hardly even imagine the horror that these people went through when witnessing this event unfold...
@@areyoujelton although, if I was in my 90's, I'd be happy with witnessing an apocalyptic event. I mean, it's not like I want one to happen, but if it's going to, and I'm dying anyways, I'd like to see it.
I have visited Pompei on April 2019, just before the pandemic. I would come there again, it is so beautiful to see that it's never too much the time spent visiting it. Even because sometimes, going ahead in the time, always something new comes out trough the discovering.
I visited Pompeii with my parents and even after 62 years I remember it clearly. It was an awesome place even in ruins. And the plaster casts...those poor people. From the cast of a dog that couldn't escape one can see that they died in agony.
Not really a fun fact:on march 17th 1944 when mt vesuvius erupted the last time some of the b25s got destroyed,their fabric broken,glazed,melted and cracked flexiglass and destroyed a base near and almost all the planes
@@saddamhussein2 I never said it was a fun fact. To me, it is an interesting fact because my grandfather was there. I never understood what being a soldier ment nor did i know what he had been through while he was alive. Only after he pased away did I learn about my grandfathers past in the war and sence he met so much to me and my family I enjoy shareing his stories and learning from them. The storys are also a good way to start conversations and to hear other people's stortes.
Fun fact: This volcano also erupted during World War Two in 1944, and destroyed two American airfields and about 88 B-25 bombers - more than the Luftwaffe were able to get during that particular unit's entire campaign. It also took out a few local villages. No American servicemembers were killed by it. I am not sure how many, if any, Italian civilians were killed.
I've seen the casts that were made to mark the cavities where the bodies of the dead laid. The Royal Ontario Museum had an exibit that simulated the marketplace and a surround sound theater that provided what it would have sounded like at the point where the pyroclastic flow would have occured. As many times as I see documentaries that show the casts its nothing like seeing them upclose. Mothers still holding their babies, lovers holding hands, a boy holding onto his dog. Its truely haunting.
As a geologist, hearing them use the correct terms and defining them correctly had me smiling. The honga Tonga eruption of the last year is the closest thing in my lifetime I could relate to an eruption such as this. As of now they both has the same volcanic explosivity index rating as Pompeii’s explosion. The honga tonga eruption completely sank over half of the country into the ocean

The Patrons of Pompeii lived like kings. Sleep in, work to noon by showing off your rich domus home, after work go to the bathhouse for a few hours, go to parties, eat dinner, and retire pretty early as well.

The Patrons of Pompeii lived like kings. Sleep in, work to noon by showing off your rich domus home, after work go to the bathhouse for a few hours, go to parties, eat dinner, and retire pretty early as well.
"The air was so hot it instantly boiled their blood and the made their heads expolded. One mans brain even turned into glass"... Well, as if volcanoes weren't scary enough. Thanks for that 👍
As always, another very interest8ng and informative episode!
What was a horrific tragedy for Ancient Rome has become an archaeologist's wet dream.
Great animation and commentary, very insightful 👍👍
Can we just look closely that simple history animation is improving?
I had to watch this in school a few days ago, didn't disappoint
The city of Naples sits on top of not 1 but *3* active volcanoes with one of them being classified as a Supervolcano.
Despite of it's beauty, Naples may be the last city I would decide to move to...
Dang I've always wanted to go there lol think I'll stick to Florence.
My parents got to visit it once. So eerie and quiet. It's almost like they shouldn't have built a city near it again
Roman Soldier: Ma'am we have to evacuate!
Roman Karen: *BUT HOW ABOUT MY RIGHTS?!*
Roman solder: Ma'am let us at least take your children and slaves.
Roman Karen: No, you have no right to take them, were I go, they go!
Kids: Please help us!
Slaves: She is insane!

"What if you closed your eyes, does it always feel like nothing changed before"
The Mount Vesuvius when it erupted
This is actually dope af, you should do on how the Mayan and Incan civilization disappeared
Disease and surrounding tribes allying with the conquistadors, no?
@@edgarbanuelos6472 For the Incas yes not the Mayans who collapsed centuries before the Spanish conquests.
@@WhenInDarknessSeekTheLight Thanks to droughts and social crises.
