Italy is incredible, a lifetime spent wandering this country would not be long enough. I'm no artist either, just a shearer from Australia, but Italy is something else and Pompeii is one of the grandest highlights. If you're thinking of visiting, have no doubt, you are thinking correctly. Enjoy!
The modern world needs to revive, recreate, and resurrect these wonderful, glorious, fabulous ancient architectures, monuments, temples to pay tribute and honor our descendants and ancestors and all those who created these awesome architectures and give the modern world a taste of what architecture was like back in ancient times
how cool would it be if some sections were totally refurbished , repurposed and fully funcional homes and shops? just like new with modern goods and services .
The sad thing is; it's not possible. The cost would be way to extrem and it would just have a higher chance to destroy the ancient buildings. I swear, i want to see ancient Rome irl more then you can possibly belive :(
Fantatic video. I visited Pompeii twice in 2013 and walked those streets of Pompeii for 5 and 6 hours each time. It was one of my most exciting times in my whole life being in Pompeii. Thank you for sharing the video
U have point on their great architecture... However don't fall into the trap of romatizing a "great environment" at the time... No such thing... if you had cholecystitis, appendicitis, PID,ectopic pregnancy, u were fucked!! No MRIs, Xrays, Ultrasounds, Antibiotics, Antivirals, Anesthesia, Vaccines and much more... I'm sure it was brutal living during those times
@Chewy Ltd slavery is still today work hard 16 hours all ur live to live and feed ur kids ... u r just a slave to large companies and rich billionaires
How fantastic to see Pompeii recreated this way. A great piece of video. I remember my visit well. For me the Romans were one of the greatest civilisations that have been on this earth. They left an incredible legacy to the world.
And....They gave us the flushing Toilet - There not a Man, Woman or Child alive (from ANY civilization) who doesn't enjoy a good poo!! lol. @@francois-lukas8345
Guardando il video mi è venuta voglia di fare un salto nel passato per poter passeggiare nell antica Pompei, sarebbe fantastico..... Quanta storia c'è in ogni angolo del mio paese, mi rammarica solo che molte volte i nostri "governi" non se ne siano occupati tanto quanto avrebbero dovuto.... Italia piena di "meraviglie", ma anche tanto fragile e abbandonata a sé stessa, un po' come le "rovine" di Pompei.... AUGURI DI BUON ANNO NUOVO AL MIO PAESE e a tutti voi in rete!!!!!!!!
I believe in reincarnation...maybe you lived in Ancient Rome (probably most of us did, at least in the Empire), that's why you long back to that time. I also find it fascinating...but only the peaceful periods, during the "5 best Emperors", lol.
I took my wife and boys there a couple of years ago, we stayed at Formia NW of Pompeii on the coast. Had a lovely holiday, the Italians were very friendly and kind. They should use this presentation at Pompeii it really brings it to life, must of taken many hours to render,brilliantly done...
Absolutely fabulous! --- Have been waiting for such a animated recreation for years, (how could I have missed this?) with better than hoped-for results, showing ruins, ---- then fantastic illustrations of original artful-constructions. Don't know why large-bold digital counter had to mar the results, but still _loved the final-product!_ Even like the 1930s style intro!
What comes to my mind is that everything, architectonically, fitted together in a most harmoniously pleasing way. Nothing was boring though, but it was one and the same architectural style over around thousand years! All the same in the entire Empire. Only very marginal adjustments over the centuries. In today's world unimaginable. Today nothing fits together, every architect builds his own thing, regardless of how, and if at all, it fits into its urban vicinity. "Architecture" you can only bear seeing at night, because at daylight the mere sight of it is too painful. Cities that are a pure urban chaos, an inhuman catastrophe, without real planning or any real concept. Back in Ancient Rome an entire city had a clear concept of planning as an urban structure, connecting practicality and harmonious beauty. Every little detail was fitting into the big picture, absolutely harmonious. Buildings, cities as they looked like, where kept maintained, existed so, for centuries, always again renovated. Amazing. Such a state of - how shall I say? - perfection and harmony wasn't reached anymore ever since the downfall of the Roman Empire. Ancient Greek and Rome were the cradles of all we have today, all our civilization. We should remember and honor our cradle in reviving all the positive aspects of it.
Pompeii was a beautiful and magnificent city during it's time. What an amazing video to see the ruins being brought back to life so that we can see just how truly stunning the city was with all of it's homes theaters gardens villas and temples.
I’m going to Pompeii in April and have been studying the city regularly. Your video helps me to understand what I’m seeing and appreciate the people of so many years ago. Fascinating! Thank you.
@Kyle Billie That doesn't explain why they came back almost straight afterwards and build a city all around it that's many times larger! They claim it's because of the rich soil, but I still think it's the height of craziness seeing what happened there.
Fabulous video - thank you! I especially like the virtual superimpositions over the ruins to give a present-day feel. I did not realize that Pompei was quite so large and impressive a city.
Rome and Greece, and the rest of Europe afterwards, built an amazing public realm. Sure there were people in those societies that had luxurious houses, but regal and luxurious spaces were built for the public as well.
These are the only known to present world. Indus, Indo or which was Hindu or Hindia later became India was all the way from Indonesia to Eastern Europe. But the only left today is India. Indonesia means Indus Islands, the center as located on equator line and it should be almost as wide as Russia not the one on present world map made by Mercator Europe since year 1569 they draw too small so they could colonise. Our Ancestors were the roots of world oldest ancient civilization think of before Toba supervolcano eruption of Sumatra Indonesia 74000 years, our Ancestors knew about eruption and they were more advanced than us today and flew towards today Europe, Middle East and America to survive from the mega eruption known in human history. Yet, Indonesia is exactly on center of Equator line of earth, best weather and richest nature worldwide. The present Indonesia is the remaining of past Atlantis. Indonesia has also many volcanoes than any other country in the world. I used to live around the world on my own since child alone, born complete multiracial and multilingual, I made great decision to return to Indonesia after 8 years Europe (The Netherlands, France, etc) and before that Middle East, Asia, etc. Yes, I am fluent in Dutch, Arabic, etc. Indonesia has been contributing so much to the world but forgotten as western and middle eastern domination. Good news is Islam will be wiped out of Indonesia as it doesn't suit our local heritage and it is one of main cause of environmental damages including western influence. #Indonesia #India #Cambodia #Vietnam #Thailand #Malaysia #Indus #indusvalley #indusvalleycivilization #ancientcivilization
Such an amazing video! It's a wonderful city. Roman's had achieved such an expertise in architecture that it's simply a feast to the eyes to see the beautiful buildings. Pompeii was such a planned city 2000 years back. Compared to it we have achieved less, even after a gap of so many years. See their idea of beautifying the house! Beautiful paintings all over the walls. Awesome! What a wonderful civilization!
It's amazing how much is yet to be uncovered even after 150 years or more of excavating...got lost in time when I visited few years ago..was simply amazing....
Wonderful..I’ve been to the site last year .. thank you for the great work bringing back to life again n such a magnificent n wonderful Pompeii 2000 years ago ...
Beautiful. Its amazing to walk through the ruins and Ancient streets. We meant to also take a tour on Mt. Vesuvius and view the Pompei and the Bay of Naples from above, but were too tired! We won't miss that piece of the tour next time.
It would be cool if a virtual reality experience of the entire Pompeii tour could be made. That way people can tour what it used to look like when it was bustling before the volanic eruption. They could experience it with the people moving around, enter their living and business areas but without interaction. I would pay 💰 to experience that.
Recent program on Pompeii, took serious look at threat of advanced decay. --- So digital record of the entire town was then-being archived --- every square-inch, carefully scanned, top-to-bottom. --- Probably well-completed by now. So with these sort of fabulous detailed 3D-reconstructions (here 2016 technology, almost about 7-years ago!), made along animated-lines you future-envision, your hope may in fact become, well, --- _virtual-reality._ Certainly that would be amazing!
A chapter from thr Quran if it may be of interest.It talks of the day of judgement, what will happen to people of pompeii, very powerfull ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-weMzst-QlBM.html

My parents who are now passed on. Seen this place after they were married. My Father took my Mother there. They were from that area. Born and lived. This was after WWII. My Mother use to say, 'It was both haunting and beautiful at the same time." She'd never imaged a world taken out by a volcano.
Studied Latin and Greek in high school and university and also did work in 3D computer graphics and I told my Latin professor that I could do this - but that was long, long ago :}. Love the Forbidden Planet / Star Trek "The Cage" reference.
Monumental work of art (the romans' and yours). Just visited Pompei and I am greatly impressed by the details and accuracy of the depiction. Subscribed.
Amazing...!! To see Pompei in its whole beauty. Thank you. And the music is also very nice, it complements the whole impression of this nice video. Bravo!!
I always wanted to live in a place style after a roman domus, with that open area in its center, such area surrounded by corinthian styled columns and the entrance sided by two statues. Of course the actual domus had cramped, rather dark rooms, hence why the open area in the center, so it would have different dimensions, but the style, the paintings on the walls, marble floors and a huge bathroom with a hot tub inspired in the roman baths.
Many thanks for this highly interesting virtual reconstruction! It is quite impressive what an extraordinary sense of architectural, aesthetic beauty and elegance the people of that time had. A sunken city of a long gone time brought back to life with the possibilities of the 21st century...
Mamma mia che commento fascista e stupido. Italia, da una statistica mondiale è risultata prima in europa per stupidità e ignoranza: tu ne sei un esempio 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I really enjoyed this, I was lucky enough to have worked on the Pinewood Film Studios (The Last Days Of Pompeii) film set, back in the hot summer of 1984, and it was so realistic, featuring full size replicas of many of the buildings seen in this video, and with fellow actors in costumes, and all the props, the funny thing was as you walked through a Roman arch, from 320AD, you entered "Smallville" in the USA in 1984 as the (SuperGirl) film set was right next door, with American cars bus, fire engine, taxis, shops phone box!, like going though a time warp, thanks for bringing back found memories of happy times.
Sono italiana nata a Napoli, ora, vedendo questo video, mi vergogno nel dire che ho visto pompei solo due volte in vita mia ed in occasione della visita di amici francesi che volevano vederla, altrimenti neanche l'avrei vista. Ho sempre preso per scontato i bellissimi posti della mia città senza apprezzarne la vera bellezza visitandoli. Ora vedendo questo video come partenopea sono veramente orgogliosa di essere italiana! I am Italian born in Naples, now, seeing this video, I am ashamed to say that I have seen pompei only twice in my life and on the occasion of the visit of French friends who wanted to see it, otherwise I would not even see it. I have always taken for granted the beautiful places of my city without appreciating its true beauty by visiting them. Now seeing this video as a partenopea I'm really proud to be Italian! scusate se traduco male, ma ho usato google translator sorry if I translate badly, but I used google translator
I was walking there in the summer of 1989, photographing on colour celluloide negative KODAK film. It is still in my memory !! Thank you for your outstanding work in computer animation, to refresh the city's life of this so wonderful ancient Greek's settlement, on the Southern soil of the Roman's Empire !!!
Вчера в Ютубе мне попался короткий ролик про Помпеи (сам живу в России и в Помпеях никогда не был). Зашёл в Гугл-карты, посмотрел Помпеи, Геркуланум...минут 20 смотрел на улицы, на мумии... И закончил; увеличиваю масштаб - и в кадр входит Везувий - и я, увидев его темнеющее жерло, сразу поперхнулся (чай пил) - как буд-то смерть увидел...
MUY BUENO!!! Hecho con seriedad, respetando con el silencio la emoción de cada uno. Muy buenos y oportunos los comentarios. También creo que el timer distrae. Muchas gracias por compartir esto.
