- The Villa of the Mysteries is located just outside the gates of the city of Pompeii, and beyond its ancient necropolis. It is a large Roman villa which overlooked the sea. Inside are some of the most famous frescoes from the ancient world. heavily debated and discussed ever since the day they were uncovered. Its walls are decorated with mysterious scenes, including gods and monsters, and future architecture that would not be seen for hundreds of years. We will go through objects found inside the house, the remains of bodies from the eruption, an area for roman wine making, and try to unveil the secrets of it’s mysterious frieze, by searching for parallels to its imagery across the Roman world.

Just visited the place. Absolutely mind blowing that those ancient artists were so ahead of their time. Very strange mythologies represented everywhere. It’s amazing also how an ancient Pompeii is so much better built than its modern replacement
Blown away by the art and complexity of this society 2000 years ago.
If you just put a pair of knockers in the thumbnail you can get a million views. Sadly that's how it works on the site. This is extremely well produced historical reference material. I feel fortunate to have found this channel, it's definitely one of the best of this genre.
I would like to see historians re-build an ancient Pompeiian house, using the exact floor plan, frescos, mosaic tile floors, fountains, garden plans as one of the houses in Pompeii so visitors can go in and see what a furnished house may've been like at that time.
Getty museum is a Roman villa full of ancient art
It’s soo incredible that these paintings have survived and that it shows the ancients weren’t at all primitive, they looked, behavior and desires just like us
Exact ,and it's more people from our century whom are primitive ,even if technologies seems more advanced, the civilization and human behavior is at some level below average culture from nowadays.
@@zibobpompon5768 100% true. People these days are very degraded and lack badly moral barriers and principles.

They were actually far more advanced than us in the arts.
To be fair those are the nobility of a rich city
Pompeii is second on my bucket list of places I want to see before I die. Egypt is the first.
Great narration and camerawork, thank you!
Thank you for the videos and especially for saying B.C.
That frieze is really beautiful
this deserves many more views and likes
This is awesome, glad to have stumbled upon this channel.
Your knowledge and video is excellent , thank you .
Thank you,fastenating look forward to more. If possible.
Very well described and shown
Fabulous doco - thank you 😊
Great production and narration! I visited Pompeii years ago and it is not uncommon for me to imagine these incredibly preserved frescos. I keep thinking back to The Villa of Mysteries in particular in thinking about the decorative layer above the typical meandering pattern-this layer I am interested in appears like abstract expressionism from a modern perspective, but I would say looks like an organic mold/fungus culture or some sort of geologic formation. Hoping someone has some info or links to this. Also curious to see know more about the animal pattern at the very top. 10:19
The black wall room looks almost Artdeco
Look at more third style Walls They Are Beautiful this House was mostly second style
I wonder if the twig held by the figure (with water poured over it in sequential panel) has ever been identified. So many mystery schools/cults/initiation groups are believed to have used psychedelic plants for the mystery experience ritual.
Great video and channel! Thank you!
very interesting thank you!!!!
Que hermoso video
Thanks! so interesting!
5:11 the fresco background is similar to the Last Supper, and the entablature is similar to the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Da Vinci and Michelangelo must have seen the 2nd Style somewhere (other than Pompeii).
@ spank flaps...
Or maybe davinci and Michelangelo were geniuses.

Something tells me that this isn't from 2000 years ago and maybe we have the dating wrong. Maybe it's from the time period you mentioned above. The art and architecture seems to indicate this.
@@darth_vedareally do they ?!
@@carlobrotto7132 Well either it does or there was no advancement in paintings for over 1,500 years.
Really great, thanks!
Amazing. Can’t believe that I visited Pompey and didn’t see this. 🤯
Fascinating, and very well done.
Excellent
Прекрасный фильм. Спасибо.
great music choice that added to the "mystery"
All we need is this home to speak, and it would all make perfect sense. That can never happen, but all of this is exquisite nonetheless.
So haunting
I enjoyed that!
Well done.
Great video that should have more views. Perhaps a change of title and thumbnail to better express the focus of the video. Right now it just looks like any other guided tour, especially with the "4K". Maybe something like "The hidden meaning behind these Pompeii frescoes - Villa of the Mysteries" with a thumbnail showing a close-up of the theater mask. I can understand if that might be too clickbaity for you, I just hope more people see it.
Yeah I thought it was a walkthrough video too but was met with this incredible video
Why do so many people focus on doing someone else's work? Can you not comment on the content itself?
@@atlantic_love I guess I could have commented on something specific in the video but I'm no expert on anything concerning Ancient Rome. The presenter had done such a good job that I had no questions, and I had nothing to add that wouldn't just be repeating the video. There weren't many views when I originally wrote my comment, so I was simply sad that this great analysis wasn't reaching a wider audience. I certainly didn't mean to condescend.
Bello y magnifico"
(pero sobre Las dudas y misteriosas pinturas) me entretengo, tambien yo mismo, con El significado en cada cuadro, asiendome tambien yo mismo las mismas Preguntas.
Mi idea es Que= son eventos vividos en la villa casa'(en muy momentos especiales) algo asi como album De los recuerdos' memorias Del dueño o dueña, donde tambien se permitia pintar sueños desagradables y agradables ❤..
They should place copies of the statues in situ and have the originals in the museums, it would be amazing.
But then you wouldn't be getting an authentic experience in visiting the place. Pompeii itself IS the museum.
@@atlantic_lovetrue. I still think they should re-build the circus maximus in Rome. As it once was. Better than a plain field.
@@DeuDeoEgo The problem is that they don't know what any of this stuff actually looked like. We're only seeing bits and pieces of these buildings. The roofs and ceilings are by and large GONE. Obliterated. They'd be making stuff up if they were to try to "rebuild" these things.
Almost everythings excavated from pompeii and Herculanum are in the archeological museum of Naples.
Isn't it well known that some form of design books could be referred to when constructing a home or some other building? Isn't it also known that Rome had something like factories where you could actually order the mosaic floors? Presumably, artists could even be hired from Rome to come and complete the artwork?
Mbuat lagi dong .. yg ada tek bahasa indonesia .. sya tunggu
9:28 look at that.. cupid taking a picture on her smartphone for her instagram..
Could someone guide to to the scholar who suggested the winged figure as a fury?
Need a reference for university.. or just author of this video could do. Cannot find any websites with this theory.
Thanks
Hey RDredZi. One source mentioning the furies is "Roman Painting" by Roger Ling. Also, FYI there are other theories as well that I did not mention, such as possibly Dike or Nemesis (see Otto J. Brendel) and there is a theory that it represents the spirit of ignorance (see Karl Lehmann). -James
@@HistoryVictorum Thank you so much, I like this theory so decided to go with it but need a reference for it to be valid 😁. So thank you again!
Mr Magoo was Rufus!
If it was Dionysis centered, won't it make sense, it was a Dionysis temple of some sort, perhaps a an equivalent of a modern day club
Phallus or volcano?
I'm sure practicality seeped into all work areas, even back then. I'd imagine the artists would be trained in the skill of the art and probably 'knew' what people often asked for and re-used popular ones. Recreating is a lot easier than a completely new image. That saved money on the client side, too. If you wanted something original....that's going to cost you. As it is today, they didn't get rich from spending it all!
Yeah, it's trending, women bending knees at an angel, drunken women and Bacchus. Just change the clothes for each client and mix it up a bit. ;)
The frieze of the woman's initiation into the cult of Bacchus, seems to unveil to recieve her whippings; a show of subservience and enduring,
to me.
0:17 This is incorrect. This "future" architecture depcited on many Pompeian frescoes, including these, is actually modelled on Alexandrian baroque architecture of the time. It's just that very little of that original architecture has survived in the archaeological record.
5:30 Couldn't this be proof to confirm the contrary?
Yes probably we just haven’t Found them
Very interesting but you are tending to 'up speak' almost turning every sentence into a question which is very distracting. Have a listen to YT Paul Cooper - 'Fall of Civilsations', most pleasant and easy to listen to.
My uncle was an ancient Roman, and he said all of these clubs and sh!t were basically elaborate ways to get chicks to party and sleep with them. Hmm, “trust me my dear, the revealing of the phallus from under the cloth is a sacred good luck ritual that drives off spirits”. Then my uncle winked at me, and disappeared…
The fresco story to me seems to be simply the life cycle of an ordinary female in Pompeii encompassing birth, life and death?
I hope these frescos dont turn out to be forgeries. They seem to be out of place from the time period they would have been made in.... Also it seems like a multicultural city with cultures from different backgrounds a bit like London today.
Romans had egyptians gods statues all around
Alhamdulillah Quran1400years ago tell us about pompee city and peoples...peoples of that city of full of gays that time and was done sins all time.they died in doing sinfull act.because Allah wants to preserve there bodies and their homes.for further this is the lesson for all man kinds and next generations generations.Allah anger showed on them and punished them .that was city of illegal sex trade with little boys.
Ypu should give Quran verse referrences instead of your own interpretation. Let the Quran speak for itself
The Earth and Universe will have it's disasters regardless of what God(s) humans choose to worship.
nonsense...
The only gays were your two days. Why do you spend half the day with your butt in the air?
JAAA, ÉS MA MI VAN VILÁGSZERTE??? PROPAÁLVA VAN BUZULÁS...RÉMES
