The House of Neptune and Amphitrite | Herculaneum 

Considering that Universities all over the world have the Antiquities as a major, I think they have held their own the last 2,000 years! LOL!

If you have never been, put it on the top of your bucket list!

Yes. And they teach in schools that IQ goes down 10 points each 100 years back we go in time. I think that Flynn Effect theory is garbage , after watching this video.

Like crypto then. But better odds

​@@HollywoodandHeffron Or tulips?!

​@@lynemac2539 Tulips was in the Netherlands in the 17th century, more than 1500 years after Herculeanum was buried.

​@@rogerkarlsson3996 Yes, and crypto was last year. What's your point?

​@@rogerkarlsson3996 I was kind of referring to the comment about crypto. Sorry to confuse.

Amazing they learnt everything from the greeks

@@JohnSmith-en6ev Not everything but certainly a lot

@CH-vv2hr most of it mate, most of it.

@@JohnSmith-en6ev Greeks did not use the arch,sewers and acquedots for example . the greeks copied (or more correct to say learnt) from phoenicians. much of what romans did is still used today. all civilizations have learnt and improved from past ones. it is called progress. what is you point anyway?

@nafvol5053 my point is the Romans copied the Greeks. Like all the Roman copies of greek statues in the vatican. Or simply just spoils of war, where originals were taken. Eventually the Greek east survived anyway.

That is not something to go nuts about, IMHO. But there are a few other errors that I think are important. Although I was glad he pointed out that "people often confuse her for Aphrodite."

He can hear you. You're talking in his presence, virtually.

Yep!

and Amen? or BINGO!

Blessed Be !

A person from the modern day would have to be incredibly stupid not to be able to turn modern knowledge into enormous success in the ancient world. I think you're exactly opposite of correct. But it's typical because of how people glorify the past. "When thirty centuries begins to look down on a thing, humanity begins to look up at it." -Thoreau

many experts agree that there will be an eruption before end of the century. proof of an eruption 2000 years before one that destroyed pompeii has been found . seems like it erupts every 2000 years more or less

Rome was a market economy so traders could be exceedingly rich.

Может быть, кто-то из Ваших предков древних жил в самом Херкуланиуме и погиб в вулканическом извержении. И тогда Вы можете видеть те же улицы , по которым они ходили 2 т лет назад

The wood may have been impregnated with silicone

А чистой питьевой воды не было? Без бактерий?

​@@retke922The city water was transported in from miles away by aqueduct. Water outdoors will always have bacteria and micro organisms living in it.

That's my excuse too

Drawer!

It’s our construction that’s inherited from Ancient Rome

The would be cut with hand saw and then planed down to an exact square profile to thousands of an inch accuracy for every 10 foot length.

There's most likely a poster to be had from the gift shop "in situ" 😉 .

Or from the Naples Museum.

Chisel and hammers too

No one cares

Why? This is the One and Only Heracles, we're talkin about here.@@PatSmith-wi1kz

​@@PatSmith-wi1kz You're wrong, of course. I care. And you "cared" enough to write the lie that "no one cares". Please do not claim to speak for everyone.

@@deewesthill1213 where's the hundreds of comments about Greek mythological deities that have no impact in daily life..they are irrelevant and useless.

@@deewesthill1213 if people cared there would be hundreds of comments but no one cares about irrelevant mythological deities that never existed and have no impact in people's lives nor do they get people out of debt and crime afflicting the world at moment

The Romans did have double glazed windows although not UPVC. They were sheets of thick glass sandwiched between both sides of the wooden frame. These were removable for hotter times of the year and fitted during colder times. Houses in the northern parts had two panes for each window but only in the houses of richer people. Glass was quite expensive back then and was used as a status symbol. Most people used a sheet of wood in it's place or had shutters. As for the buildings themselves. Find me a mosaic or fresco that has period clothing on the people from the time you mentioned. All I see them wearing is Roman robes and such.

"The chickpea, which hummus is made mostly of, was a common food in ancient Rome. The recipe for hummus used during the Vespasian-Domitian Period is astonishingly similar to the hummus made today. Instead of using a blender, the ancient Romans used a mortar and pestle tool to smash the ingredients."

Эти мусульмане почти все у древних римлян переняли . А турки у второго Рим - Византии! Все их хаммамы - это стающего у римских терм. Мечети все до сих пор напоминают купол Святой Софии - первого грандиозного христианского Храма, тоже построенного римлянами эмигрантами восновавшими Константинополь и Византийскую империю. Бобовые, гороховые, чичивичные вовсю были популярны тысячи лет , но мусульмане думают, что это их восточная еда.

There were plenty of light skinned, blonde Romans, especially the farther north you got.... Saying that is bs, is like saying all Scandinavians are blonde and ghostly pale, which is also not true.

@@Neophema Those were the "Slaves"...hence the term "Slavs"...The Greeks, the Spartans used them to train and looked down on them...they did indeed come from the North...even the term "Barbarian" means the "bearded ones" ...The Kelts (Celts) or Cold ones, from the cold weather areas were barbarians to the Romans, they were different...The "tosted ones" literally "burned ones" were the "Braun/brown" people...from the burning lands of the Mediterraneum...No need to get offended bro...we all have "Barbarian" ancestors...some of us have "Latin" ancestry as well...Bronze also makes reference to "Brauned/Browned"...which was, and is more associated with "tanned people/ones"... Im sorry if that hurts your feelings...I love my pinkies! ...which means "Rossy ones" also "Russ" or the Nordic Viking/Slavic people...When you see Asian people, Middle Easterns, or Africans...if you are of European descent, the natural thing to do is group them into a single category...logically, Romans did the same with "Barbarians" ...they were different...they did not integrate into Roman every day people until a few centuries AD...I do agree though, I am sure there were the occasional Rossy cheeked girls...and then Romans, a few...would have had lighter skinned anatomical features...but, for instance "Nero" meaning "Black" the Roman, ancestral Roman...was dark skinned. 🤓

😂 "bs...PBS"

I agree completely!!!!!

A lot of history documentary-style channels like this one will hire other people or straight-up use AI narration, but this man is clearly recording it himself (in addition to preparing the script and putting together the video). I find that worthy of commendation and respect.

@@zammich3649 after a mere thousands of yrs to think, not get emotional about it all.

I'm an American and have always pronounced niche "nich", which would normally be written as "nitch" with the "t" silent!

@@deewesthill1213 Good on you! as I expect that a 'Murrican would say.) (Except that the vowel would be longer in niche than in nitch.)

@@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609 I have only heard it pronounced to rhyme with "itch".

@@deewesthill1213 Well, that is hardly my fault.

No, it is the British who say 'good on you.' No American would ever say that. @@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609

Да, все их искусство - одни крестики нолики листочки и цветочки, повторенные тысячи раз. Примитивно, скучно, однообразно, недоразвито для человеческого восприятия красоты. Это даже искусством нельзя назвать их штамповку керамическую! Тупое однообразие вместо настоящего искусства! А уже в древнем Риме тысячелетия назад искусство было настоящим и прекрасным! А мусульманское - унылое копирование одного и того же узорного однообразия до сих пор
