we are about to go into an ancient Roman brothel and there's a menu on the wall
of what you want are you going to show you some of the basically the Roman Kama
Sutra
But first coffee
Good morning from Napoli Garibaldi station. Today we are heading to Pompeii
Most of you have seen photos of Pompeii it's a lot of well-preserved buildings
and people there. Yeah I get excited about places like this because I've only
ever seen any of this stuff in the history books and I've seen all the
pictures and it's really something that I definitely want to see for myself so I
can't wait to get there. Our train is arriving
and we're going to get on it and take you to Pompeii with us. Yeah, 30 minute drive
to Pompeii.
My name is Francesca okay and I am your guide. We are at Pompeii and now we're
getting ready to head into the site so it's definitely officially at the site
Well, we're not officially anything yet because we decided to do a tour and
the lady brought us up to this bridge, she took our money and left so we're
hoping she comes back. We think she will Oh, and the temperature so nice, yes! So it's not heated
like, you know summertime here. Follow the umbrella, the green umbrella
And the official date of the eruption was on 24th of October of 79 AD, After Christ
Started centuries before Romans arrived here. The first stop of the tour is the
place is called Basilica and it's not what you think of Basilica, which is the
church. Obviously Roman time didn't have Church back then, but this is basically a
city court where people came in and got trials. The majority of these are
original in fact, about 70-80 percent are original
Obviously not included any railings or metal but all the stones, old roads are
mostly original. They put the white land in the middle of the grey blocks to reflect moon light. Second stop,
which is the Temple of Apollo, there's a statue of Apollo right behind me. Unfortunately
it's a replica because the original one is in the Archaeological Museum in Naples
The second important things here is the sundial that looks like a column but
it's supposed to be a sundial. Kind of surreal to know that people
lived here about 2,000 years ago and this is all that's left
It's so well preserved. Oh look at that, that's a huge collection of clay
pottery - amphors It's amazing what
these people must have went through we're told that when the volcano erupted
all they saw was this ash coming down so instead of running they hid in their
houses thinking it was going to protect them but eventually the ash and pumice
stone landed on the roofs and basically collapsed the roof so a lot of people
died that way and also when the poisonous gases came those gases were
heated to about 500 degrees Celsius for about 900 Fahrenheit so when they
breathed that in their blood basically evaporated you can see some of the
people that were left over after all this ash came in, the bodies inside
decomposed over the centuries and what was left was basically a hole so you see
plaster casts of the people that were made and you can see the expressions on
their faces - one man is holding his face probably because he was suffocating
there's a young child and also even a dog so it's really really obvious that
these people suffered a lot when Vesuvius erupted. we're not the only
ones here so it's sometimes a little tough to see things but that's tourism
in Italy this is where they did Roman fast food a lot of these places here
were places where they would make soup and some of them even fermented fish for
sauces so this is basically a Roman McDonald's back in the day people would
line up they would come here as traders and they would come in here for fast
food there were a hundred teams from the city so when the smell of food was
probably very very present all the time in Pompeii and they got actually sit in
the back in there so they did order their food get it here take it back and
sit at the
why it goes in the left so we do three two never liked the Eliza like the
browser so now we used to say that this symbol during la montagne was a kind of
GPS now we arrive in the fish a meat market of Pompeii it's really cool to
see some of the frescoes is so detailed Ulysses Penelope and Nike it is all
God's shape get finished in what follows we are about to go into the nation Roman
brothel and we're just waiting in line because probably as in ancient times
it's the most popular building in the city and there's a menu on the wall of
what you want are you going to show you some of basically the Roman Kama Sutra
that probably will get us demonetized in this video this is a stone bed in a
brothel these beds were covered in straw and cloth and they were very
uncomfortable and it made sure that a person that was paying for services got
their business done quickly and left Michaels excited
inspired I was inspired can't wait to get home oh my god so weird the bath one
of the BAPS and this is the female section its baths
are in one of the most preserved structure here in Pompeii simply because
the vaulted dome regular building usually have disapprove
so when month Vesuvius erupted there's a lot of ash and rocks and landed on top
of the flat roof and they just collapse but this fall actually just allows
everything to be coming out surrounding it so all of this roof are original and
preserving whatever inside is completely intact but it's also because of the hot
sauna that like a gap between the structure of it and in the wall it's
gonna heated something from the floor and a steam would rise up and then
allows the condensation to go back down and they kind of recycles the whole
water system it's really neat Stephanie
two hours later we are done with the walking tour ideally we have seven hours
to explore if we like to and there's a few spots that I would like to visit so
we're gonna do it by our own otherwise we are done with the organized tour
what I find really impressive that they even know the names of people who lived
in a lot of these houses this one here is Casa de Fabi asada mom vo it was
really cool because they must have found record for these people if they didn't
I'm not sure how they could figure it out unless they've just done it for ya
I'm pretty sure they knew who was living here okay if I recall correctly this
area here is one of the ones our tour guide told us about that it's about 30%
of Pompeii is still covered under volcanic ash so they got the fences set
up here and all the scaffolding so they're doing some restoration and
cement some excavation if you look closely you can still see the volcanic
ash that is covering a lot of the stuff so they're still discovering like you
know I know and said yeah the intact Fela there and there may be a few other
I'm sure they're finding that buddy's bones and bodies and everything so this
is probably what looked like when they found it just completely covered with
ash and overgrown vegetation sidewalk or crosswalk crossing
pretty sure they kept lions in here all they think so
no I don't know maybe it's like the concessionary under a football stadium
hotdogs and pretzels in taco stands pretzels these flies I know there's a
lot of flies here for some reason they're telling us we can't go into the
vineyard I guess only the people maybe they paid extra or something special
people can go in but we're not that special
yes we don't know crap about wine anyway so what's the difference I'm trying to
figure out where we are and where we're going little bike so far
due to backtracking towards where we started we're over here there's the
culprit right behind me Mount Vesuvius yeah which you can't
really see easily on this video right now here it is it's nice to be the only
ones at Pompeii right we just got done eating dinner where there was almost as
many people in the restaurant as there were on the sites lunch wasn't that bad
it was 18 euros for two big big big slices of pizza a drink and french fries
there you go forget pizza ancient Romans really know how to cook cuz at a us
attraction that would have been 15 bucks apiece but it's not Napoli time or pizza
no it's not a better disappointed wasn't that bad yeah just kidding
oh yeah we continued on their journey there's a few other places that we'd
like to check out and it seems like we're gonna end up spending another
couple hours at least what's so big sigh the only people in this Hacienda Wow
I'm surprised they're letting us walk on these it's a bathhouse
it's a cool thing it's underneath you know one of the things that I'm
realizing is that if you do the guided tour there is so much better stuff to
see on your own after it's a really good introduction we never even came in here
on the battlefield this is amazing so all of these statues are sort of holding
everything up really nice ABS okay how long do you have us lost you know where
we're going yeah yeah right which is where exactly we found
auto-type tooth this morning okay now I'm a little upset that our guys took
them to better places and she took us sir probably takes a second different
houses yeah same information though you see all
this indentation on the road that actually came from the Roman chariots
that was running here like hundreds of years before the eruption and all the
wheels had some kind of iron to it and everybody is following exact same path
and as a result in the patient now in the streets of Pompeii we are trying to
get out but we keep getting lucky the maze that all over the place is actually
block like that so I think that the people tried to escape the volcano they
just got blocked at every turn exactly that's the demise of Pompeii
finally we reach our last destination of the day it's called a Fela the mystery
let's check it out not sure this original number it certainly doesn't you
I guess it is it's so well preserved I think this is probably the water
pressure fresco saying building in the whole Pompeii and it is so many
different rooms and you can see all different frescoes this is one of the
bodies that was found a plaster cast we can actually see that the skull is still
intact
this is definitely the best preserve room here in Philadelphia story
everything here is pretty much original at speed 2,000 years get buried and then
voila you get really vivid color of fresco it's called the villa of the
mystery because this particular fresco over here with the main figure in the
middle there's some debate on what's going on so we see the ritual try to get
ready to do something else but anyway that's why they just decided to this is
the feel of mystery because nobody knows what is the first course all about the
mosaic on the floor it's all really you know physically just as if it just put
in like you know last week that was a long day but it's a great day I just
didn't expect this at all Wow what is your favorite I think my favorite part
wasn't a thing it was more just realizing as we pass by each of these
house that someone lived there and probably in most of those houses someone
died it's a dark place we had a conversation earlier yeah let's say no
to Russian didn't happen a what happened if it's continuously inhabited by people
just like us they would have torn it down and built something new and become
like a big maple so Rome or whatever modern city now yeah so the Vesuvius
eruption actually I mean a lot of people died probably about 3,000 people but if
they didn't we wouldn't be able to see this and I don't know what the trade-off
is good or not but it certainly is was a learning experience for us because of
what happened you know over 2,000 years ago yeah well we had a really good time
