Exploring the cemetery - Pompeii Part 1 🇮🇹 

😶

No, it's not. I enjoy the hypocrisy of people who say things like this, yet here you are with the same curiosity, watching the same topic, and equally benefitting from the information. To deflect from a guilty conscious, perhaps? If you objected that much , you would protest the information. This is a very Victorian sentiment that the dead are just as important as the living. Not every culture views things this way. And unlike billions, these folks get to be remembered thousands of years later, we should all be so lucky. These sites are still being corrupted by tomb raiders. A lot of people don't know that. Being a UNESCO site doesn't protect it. The difference? Raiders don't care about the person, the preservation, or the culture. They will toss a corpse aside and sell a material item for money because that is all that is important to them. They care so little. They would kick the remains aside to let them be carried away by animals. Unlike tomb raiders, most archeologists get paid very little for long hours and tedious work. Why do people make cemeteries and tombstones? Because they want their loved ones remembered and memorialized. Why does a niche group like us have this hobby in a non-macabre way? To keep those memories alive and participate in the great investment people made of their loved ones. As a history lover, I would be thrilled to be important and lucky enough for someone to dig me up in 2,000 years and stick me in a museum.
