Thank you for this great video! I found this by accident actually, I'm moving to Herculaneum, Missouri and I was looking for videos about the town when I stumbled across this. My wife and I are looking for places to vacation once this pandemic is over and I think I may have found a great place to go thanks to you! Keep up the great videos!
I'm going to have to check out both places. I'm just sitting in my room with my space heater, watching uploads. 🚀 🌌 🔥 Thanks for the upload. 🙏 Love and light from Gore, Oklahoma.♥️🕯️
The thing is people should have never gone thru that we no today doctors and and law and study may have prevented looking around in space has helped the question is why did that happen.
Oh, I hoped you visited Herculaneum as me and my husband enjoyed it more than Pompei. It is better preserved and helped me imagine how people lived back then.
having been to both, i must say, ercolano is much better than pompeii, the videos and photos will never do justice to how incredible the whole city is, you really get a feel for how these people lived and the context of how they lived. what fascinated me most was by how much the shoreline had moved, since it was formally a seaside town, just the distance that the shoreline has moved is staggering, great video!
Hello PLP family....this is so impressive...what a lovely alternative ultra-crowded & touristy ruins...you guys give out a calming & positive vibe....Isa looks a lot like the actress Pheobe Cates...love your channel! 😎
Hi Cynthia! Thanks for your comments-so nice of you! It's funny - I actually was never told I looked like Phoebe Cates until about 5 years ago. Now it's the doppelganger I hear most often! Thank you :) -Isa
Herculaneum! Unbelievable! It is so beautiful but I'm glad that we were able to hear the birdies because without the birdies it would have been much more solemn I think. I see where Hercules gets his name. Anyway moving on, I think this place is just beautiful I don't even have words, and that's a first for me. It seems more clean, more new, just more of everything then you showed us from Pompeii. Obviously both are very tragic and the thought of there even being more under excavation... There is no telling what they're going to find. I love that you can find all the original tiling in the wood . It is quite astonishing that it is not right of the way by this time, but I understand the process and why it stayed intact. But the beautiful mosaics I just it's just beautiful . Thank you for sharing. Naturally I will have to go back and watch it again. And I'm not trying to be all mushy gushy but I would never have seen things like this without your RUclips channel. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless and take care of that baby! He really does like to vocalize doesn't he? What a cutie! Looking forward to next time.
We hadn't noticed the cleanliness, but that's true. I think just because there are fewer tourists, it makes it easier to keep clean. It is much better preserved because the excavation process was so much more difficult than in Pompeii. And that helped to keep it from being looted, too, so we have a lot more of the statues, reliefs, and art. So excited to see what else they unearth! Thanks so much for your support, Denise! Always a pleasure to see you here in the comments. :) -Brian
Oh Brian, I just love these videos. We have watched your Pompeii video 3 times and now this, wow thanks. Pompeii or Herculaneum? Mmmmmmmm, we really can't decide, like you say visit both. Kai and Isa seem to like Herculaneum better. Can't wait for the next vlog. Thanks...
I tend to lean toward Herculaneum as well, mainly just because I really liked having access to everything. Those locked doors in Pompeii were really frustrating. -Brian
Great video 👍 I’ve been to both towns many times. Herculaneum is so wonderfully preserved. I still prefer Pompeii. It’s such a large site you can wander there all day and get lost. If you do go to Pompeii try to enter at the quieter amphitheater entrance then slowly make your way down towards the forum.
Thanks for the tip. I think that's what we ended up doing, thinking that was the best way to see everything in Pompeii. Foolish us, thinking we could possibly see everything in one visit!
Super interesting stuff, I didn’t even know other cities got buried other than Pompeii. How has Kai’s walking gotten? Super excited to see him walking last video!
Yeah, there are even more than these two, also! Next time we go back, we heard a lot of people recommend Stabiae. We also want to visit Torre Annunziata, since that's on the list of UNESCO sites with Pompeii and Herculaneum. So much to see! And Kai is running now. And he's learning words! Whenever he runs, he repeats, "so fast, so fast, so fast." :)
I think as an experience, if you had to pick only one, Herculaneum wins hands down. So much is so well preserved and in such a compact area. But you can't really go to Herculaneum and not go to Pompeii! Also the Necropolis outside Pompeii at dusk is the most magical place I have every been. Cheers! CCCP
Thanks for sharing this! I'll be heading to Italy next week and I'll be doing an overnight stay on the Amalfi Coast and doing a stop at Pompeii. I thought that I was fully set on visiting Pompeii but after seeing this video, I'm re-thinking my decision to maybe visit Herculaneum instead. I know both sites are well worth the visit but I also know Pompeii is much bigger and more ground to cover and I'll only have 2hrs to really spare. As for Herculaneum, would you say that one can just do a self-guided tour or would a tour guide be more helpful or needed?
If you only have two hours, I agree - do Herculaneum. You'd have to go back to Pompeii anyway because in 2 hours you'd barely scratch the surface. As for a Tour Guide, they're always nice because they can point out details and share interesting stories and history, so that may help you go faster instead of reading all the signs. But there are plenty of "self-guided walking tours" online that you can read and prepare beforehand if you want to save money. A tour guide definitely isn't needed.
Great video! I visited Herculaneum in May 2016 and found it to be a much more enjoyable visit than Pompeii. It looks like they may have opened some additional areas between the time I was there and when you visited.
Hello ! Very interesting and informative . Such a beautiful place to visit must be awesome to see and touch the walls and letting your imagination go about what it was of being there when the volcano 🌋 erupted! ATB Hélène et Serge 👩❤️👨
Yeah, it was really easy to imagine what life would have been like, especially when you see the street food vendors, shops, and normal houses. It's amazing how similar they were to us, even 2000 years ago! -Brian

I didn't see a phallic symbol, unless you're referring to whatever Triton is holding in his left hand. But now that you bring it up, I do think it's odd that they chose Triton for the floor of the women's bath and not Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea. Choosing a female goddess seems like it would have been more appropriate.
Just come back from there are you are spot and what a great place, its just a pity on 20% has been excavated! The skeletons in the boat yard make you feel very sad indeed!
It is amazing that ash preserved everything. Probably did that to the skeletons, too. If they hadn’t die like they did and would have decomposed all time ago.
It's SO WORRISOME that people can enter such place and (apparently) randomly explore the site unsupervised and even touch (and deface) ruins if so inclined. A place that is almost 2000 y.o. Obviously Italy have so much of such antique treasures they seem to not know what they are neglecting. Preservation stopped when being exposed, now decay is inevitable; best they should do is try their best to slow the process (ideally protect it better but hey).
Yeah, I'm torn. On one hand, I hope they keep it open because I really appreciate being able to explore on my own and get close to ruins and ancient artifacts. As a responsible tourist, I love that freedom. On the other hand, some people do take advantage of that freedom and vandalize and steal, making it less amazing for future visitors. So I understand when they block off certain areas too.

@@PerfectLittlePlanet thank you for that information about the time frame. I’m trying to understand the timetable of the circumvesuviana train from Herculaneum to Garabaldi and it looks like I either have an 11 o’clock departure or a 5 o’clock departure. And that’s just too long to be in Herculaneum. 😬
It's allegedly over 2000 years, but evidence is now showing that it was more than likely much more recent -- according to history maps from dating 1200 - late 1600's show that Pompeii and Herculaneum were still standing and we're accessible as a flourishing city.
I like your "secular" description of Herculaneum, BUT, the skylight did not have to collect water. If you watch the official archaeological video, it had Roman aqueducts that flowed continually through the systems of Herculaneum, split into three main inlets, 1) the baths, 2) the homes and 3) the public fountains, etc. ;o) Other than that, the lady is a little more believable than the man whom seems just "overwhelmed" at what he is seeing. Really can't blame him much. What you see there is just flat-out amazing. Oh, and one other note to the gentleman, Hercules was ... relieving himself ... not playing.
ME: imagining the horrifying scenes of hot gas and realizing that the people of Herculaneum got baked and buried, essentially, while the Pompeiians got suffocated, then burned, and then buried. MEANWHILE: cheesy, upbeat, promotional-sounding music. ♪♫
Haha, yeah. I'm still getting better at editing and to be honest, music is not my strong suit. Thanks for the reminder to change the music to fit the scene.
Herculaneum was a city of free slaves ,example, a slave who works in Pompei and after many years his master would set him free ,he would go and live in Herculaneum,and most people who slides in Herculaneum were from the Middle East,cause Herculaneum was a port city
I meant, "this is real" as in "this brings it to life and hits you that something truly tragic happened here." It's easy to wander the town and feel like it's just an abandoned town that was buried by the volcano, but the skeletons there makes you remember that it all happened so fast and it helps you put yourself in their situation.
El dinero es parte de ello, pero honestamente, la mayor parte de la ciudad antigua está enterrada bajo la ciudad actual, por lo que es extremadamente difícil de excavar. Primero tendrías que echar a la gente de sus casas.
This wasn't meant to be an educational video. It's an overview of Herculaneum so people can compare it to Pompeii, to help them make a decision on whether or not they want to travel there.
@billiandpech Lol...why would you come to a vlogger's video looking for a full educational teaching on Herculaneum!?!? This guy is only sharing his experience from his visit and what he knows or might have learned.

That's funny. When I was researching this trip, I actually found Herculaneum, MO, and I learned a lot about it, too. :)
Just drove through that town in Missouri and decided to search the word on RUclips. 😄
I'm going to have to check out both places. I'm just sitting in my room with my space heater, watching uploads. 🚀 🌌 🔥 Thanks for the upload. 🙏 Love and light from Gore, Oklahoma.♥️🕯️
Returning to Rome in 2 weeks, last time (10 years ago) we only had time for Pompeii. this time we'll go see Herculaneum. Can't wait!!!
So excited for you. Have fun on your trip!!
Wow, I had never heard of these ruins what a cool place.
Yeah, we didn't know about them either until we were in Naples and looking at what day trips are available. So glad we went! -Brian
The thing is people should have never gone thru that we no today doctors and and law and study may have prevented looking around in space has helped the question is why did that happen.
I really enjoyed your tour of Herculano, congratulations to the beautiful couple and their baby. bye..
Aww, thank you so much. 🥰
Oh, I hoped you visited Herculaneum as me and my husband enjoyed it more than Pompei. It is better preserved and helped me imagine how people lived back then.
Yeah, so crazy that even food and furniture survived! So much easier to imagine life when you learn about those little everyday kinda things. -Brian
Yaaay! I’m so glad you went there too!
It was amazing!
Wow, this is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I also really like how you provided history and details along with some of the exhibits!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
having been to both, i must say, ercolano is much better than pompeii, the videos and photos will never do justice to how incredible the whole city is, you really get a feel for how these people lived and the context of how they lived. what fascinated me most was by how much the shoreline had moved, since it was formally a seaside town, just the distance that the shoreline has moved is staggering, great video!
Yeah, that distance to the new shoreline is really crazy. So hard to wrap my head around how volcanoes can just reshape the land.

Thank you so much! And I also hope you can get out there to visit one day.
i have always preferred herculaneum to pompeii to visit as its quieter and more to see
Totally agree. It's just hard to not go to Pompeii if you could only do one, if nothing else just to say you've been there.
All I can say is WOW, oh WOW that place is amazing. I will be listing this on my things to do. Thanks for such a wonderful look into an amazing place!
You're welcome, and yes, definitely add it to your list. Such an amazing place to visit!
History will grab you and wake you up, you two are great. Shake you up.
Yeah, we love learning about the history of places we visit. It helps make you appreciate what they went through and also what we have today. -Brian

Timber frame buildings way before the medieval period. That's cool 😎

Thanks for the tip about the Necropolis at sunset. We'll definitely check it out after covid ends and we can travel again.

Thank you!!

what I loved about herculaneum was its never really busy,not like pompei , and there is more to see
Totally different experience, for sure.

Yeah, I can't wait to go back in 10 years or so and see what else they've uncovered.
I've had to pull friends away from Pompeii to visit Herculaneum, whereupon they understand why.
We get it, too. You're a good friend. :)
It is amazing that ash preserved everything. Probably did that to the skeletons, too. If they hadn’t die like they did and would have decomposed all time ago.

It's pretty cool that they're still uncovering new stuff. We keep loose tabs on it!
herculaneum is definitely better than pompeii
Yeah, we enjoyed it more as well.
Actually they have stopped excavating because there is not enough money to protect everything already excavated.
Oh, interesting. Well I suppose that's a good thing then. The things they haven't excavated will remain protected forever. -Brian
Herculano decian que era mas grande que Pompeya , lamentablemente no se puede excavar mas de Herculano por falta de dinero del gobierno italiano.
